YOU NEED TO MAKE SOME JOBS THERE IN THE BIG D'TOWN AND A REHAB CENTER.... THEN MAYBE YOU CAN GIVE THEM A JOB SEND EM' TO CHURCH AND REHAB.... BUT INSTEAD WE PUT THEM IN JAIL - WHICH BY THE WAY CAUSES THEM TO BE MORE INTO THE GAME (KNOWING MORE HOW TO BE A CRIMINAL) THAN WHEN THEY FIRST WENT IN.... I KNOW IT'S NOT OUR FAULT THEY ARE DELIQUENTS... WHATEVER IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN OR YOU CALL YOURSELF A CHRISTIAN THEN YOU HAD BETTER START ACTING LIKE CHRISTIANS... HENCE, YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS (OUR PEOPLE IN NEED) NOT JUST WHITE FOLKS EITHER ALL PEOPLE NEED YOUR HELP NOT YOUR PERSECUTION. ESPECIALLLY IF THEY HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM... NOT A DRUG DEALING PROBLEM... DRUG DEALERS ARE A DIFFERENT BREED. DRUG DEALERS GO FROM WORKING ALL DAY AND SELLING ALL NIGHT JUST TO MAKE ENDS MEET. THEN YOU HAVE THE ONES WHO WOULD SELL CRACK TO A TEENAGER AND THEY NEVER WORK. THE ONES WHO NEVER WORK OR SELL CRACK SHOULD BE PUT UNDER THE JAIL OR FORCED TO USE THEIR OWN PRODUCT FOR @ LEAST A MONTH. THEN MAKE THEM GO THROUGH THE DETOX PART. BUT AS I LOOKED THROUGH THE INDICTMENTS MOST OF IT IS A LITTLE BIT OF WEED AND ALOT OF ROBBERY... TIMES ARE HARD... THERE AREN'T ANY JOBS IN DYERSBURG IF THERE WERE THEY PROLLY WOULDN'T HAVE A WAY TO GET THERE. I DON'T KNOW BUT BUSTING SOMEONE FOR ANYTHING UNDER A HALF OUNCE OF WEED IS JUST RETARDED.... THAT MEANS THE PERSON IS JUST SMOKIN' LEAVE EM' ALONE... HE WONT HURT ANYONE. WEED DOESNT CAUSE YOU TO STEAL, RAPE, OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT MAKE YOU EAT AND LAUGH AND THEN GO TO SLEEP. BUT STOP WASTING TAX PAYERS MONEY ON THAT B.S. AND TRY SOME REAL DRUG DEALERS.... LIKE THE JONES' OH AND BY THE WAY WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM?
