[clue-talk] The War On...?

[Don Collier]

Well,  I have to agree and disagree on this one.  I think that the 
punishment should be heavy, but 15 years is crazy.  Something to keep in 
mind is that this is the max sentence.  He will most likely get only a 
couple of years. 

JD said " You know what's sad about it. It only takes one mark on your 
record to destroy you and your life for the rest of your life.  This is 
so stupid it's unreal....."  My feeling on this is that it was his 
choice.  He knew that he was breaking the law and he make a choice to 
continue with that behavior.  Now he has to pay the price for his 
actions.  I do not, however, think that he deserves 15 years 
imprisonment for that choice though.
