I don't get it, the guy who moves 10 kilograms of heroin gets the same sentence as the woman on the corner with a few vials of crack in her pocket? Ridiculous.
We need to have a menu of violations and their resulting sentence much like city parking tickets.
Intersting story to go with a murder near hopkins.
Question: since when is the 2300 block, Barclay Street in NW Baltimore ???
Also, look at this item from the City Paper's Councilmania column:
Resolution 08-0082R--Request for State Legislation--Gun Crimes--Increase in penalty. This resolution asks the state legislature to pass a 20-year mandatory minimum sentence for felonies committed with a gun.
The read: Councilman Bernard C. "Jack" Young's (12th District) draft bill read "not more than 20 years" and was amended to read "not less than 20 years." Councilwoman Belinda Conaway (7th District) tried to put the brakes on the measure, saying that "the population overwhelmingly affected by this is overwhelmingly minority," and that the council should instead urge more money for preventive measures. Young raised his voice in an emotional reply. "These guys are in and out. Some of them have five or six convictions with guns," he said. "I'm tired of the excuse that we're minorities. We're the ones committing the murders. It's us killing us!"
You tell her, Jack.
