Correct. Some are fouled tipsDonn Beach wrote: ↑Fri Mar 10, 2023 10:13 amNot every crime is considered a "strike".Three strikes laws generally deal with serious and violent felony offenses. Common crimes considered "strikes" include rape, murder, arson, and robbery. But the lists of "strikes" vary by state—some include nonviolent offenses like treason, drug trafficking, felony theft, and bribery.
Perhaps there is a correlation with packing people into densely population areas and them eventually going insane resulting in the adoption of lib polices???Mel Bradford wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 1:53 amThanks for the clarification.Had my states mixed up. Not surprised about Spokanes leftward drift.
Yeah, because we should all get our medication from a guy in a back alley. You act as though legalizing drugs is going to make it safer. I think you are always going to have a "black market". And then, someone is going to be cutting cost to make more money, so they add fillers to the drugs, and people die.DanielVogelbach wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 10:18 pmI think three strikes was predatory to incarcerate more people. Most violent crime carries a long sentence even with one violation. Three strikes was a way to take three one-year sentences and turn them into life in prison or something. That's not really justice to me. Also, the only criminal in a non-violent drug transaction is the guy with the uniform and the gun intervening with the peaceful transaction between two willing participants.
