| Fiona Apple, felon |
Who? you say.
Fiona Apple. She's a singer, a good singer, but not one of my favorites. But that's neither here nor there. She
just got busted in Texas for possession of marijuana and hashish. The latter is a more concentrated form of the former. Police found a backpack with about four grams of each substance in her tour bus in a far western county of the state near the Mexican border. A place famous for busting celebrities in transit. Former victims include
Willie Nelson and the rapper
Snoop Dogg. If you can believe it, possession of this about of marijuana in Texas is a
3rd degree felony punishable by up to
ten years in prison. And no less than two years.
Are you frigging kidding me? Nobody deserves this. While the Wall Street pirates are sucking down their champagne and wallowing in their wealth with nobody making the slightest move to arrest their felonious asses, we have the spectacle of people getting thrown in jail possession of a harmless drug. The number of people we have incarcerated for this kind of "crime" is an absolute scandal. But there are too many people in the system who profit from the scandalous state of affairs. So injustices like this just continue, and certain people get fat on the misery of others. It's the law this country, didn't ya know?
