Almost the same ones every time this is published! It’s a shame the police do their job and the judge won’t do his!
I agree to a degree with you, and I’m on the list. Lol…
However, we don’t all just get out anymore. At least, not all of us. I know while I was in court on this day, even I was shaking my head at some of the sentences that judge Preston was giving out. It seems that, for some reason, some of us got harsher sentences than others that have done the same thing. But, I personally think that BSRDC is way too full and instead of sending us there they need to be sending us to rehab. The only catch is when sent to rehab most people *including myself in the past* aren’t ready to get sober and, sadly, just get there and then leave when it gets too hard or too real.
I can finally say that I wqs ready and now thankful for the four months in jail and being in drug court. It has literally saved my life. We all just have to pray for those who are still in active addiction. I pray that they find the peace that I have found in sobriety before it’s too late for them. Because, there are only 2 outcomes of active addiction and those are get sober or to die. I know they say it’s jails, institutions, and death but in reality there’s only two outcomes. Personally, while out in active addiction myself I saw way too many of really good people die from the disease. And I’m thankful that I chose sobriety and not the latter.
Sure is a lot of unsupervised release. They were unsupervised when they committed the crimes…so now they’ll be good little boys and girls LOL. Build more jails!!
Anthony Mullins should have not gotten in home placement for jail in the comfort of his own home nor should he ever be allowed around children ever again he needs to do at least 20 years and know what it’s like to be scared and always have to be watching your back he does something bad and gets off easy while the rest of us pay that’s sad what has our justice system come to???
I done my time got out been clean got In to treatment and got my shit together so stick it to all u haters out there and all u no good so called police officers too that’s all I got to say about that
