re: Per 680 in ATL UGAs Elijah Holyfield Arrested

Mark Richt has lost control of Kirby?

In all seriousness, another day, another non-criminal in America arrested for weed. He's just fortunate he's got a famous and wealthy father, a team and fanbase that will support him and zero chance of this hurting him the way it would if he were some random poor person with no connections, fame, or money. Our police and our judicial system are far too punitive when it comes to drug and alcohol arrests (I'm not talking about when someone is shite faced and driving 90 miles per hour down the wrong way - that's a whole other crime when you endanger others).

When the costs are added up, even the people who get probation have been put through the ringer financially and emotionally, have a permanent mark that hurts their employment, the embarrassment/humiliation of being arrested and spending the night and jail and have generally paid a ridiculous cost for an offense that no one should be paying for 'crime' most of us know is a damn joke.
