What a load of shit.


I mean most people should have an issue with governmental over charging for the sake of it. If you're dealing pot out of your apartment and a school is a few blocks away, you shouldn't also get an additional charge.


lol...thats just what you think.....sorry nobody is on your side for your bullshit cause.....they can get jobs just like everybody else in society instead of looking for authorization to sell drugs without some sort of consequences they can call racist..sorry i dont want trap houses and heroin dens 3000 meters around my primary and highschool kids in our neighborhood

i can't speak to that either way because i have no evidence or sources to back up claims so i wont even try. do you have a source to back yours?

but thank you for finally addressing what the guy in the video was saying instead of straw manning. now if i could only get you to admit the topic title is just a little disingenuous .....

edit: also please note that i was not defending the contents of the video, but taking issue with your misinterpretation of the argument.

For anyone not interested in trolling, I believe this is the article

https://thinkprogress.org/what-happens-when-an-entire-city-becomes-a-drug-free-school-zone-46c5cb8760f9/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

It's a pretty good read. Essentially, school zones have been widened to include vast areas, often in communities of color. The opposite is true in whiter communities. It's being used inappropriately to jack up sentences. Most times, arrests don't involve children in anyway. It's manufactured leverage, often being used to get criminals of color to accept plea deals, further feeding the prison industrial complex

So you think that selling drugs near a school shouldn't incur harsher penalties?


not a single thing in his post indicates that's what he thinks.


well he is supporting the narrative of BLM, which has been and always will be attempts to seek immunity from the law under the guise of special dispensation status.......get with the program, its VERY elementary


Lol

right, but the point is the author is making a claim that "these rules are disproprotionately applied to black people, which is racist".

you CLAIMED he said "this rule is racist"

The law is not "disproportionately applied to black people. Anyone of any color selling drugs in a school zone have the same rule applied to them. What's the racism?


Did you read the article i posted?

You claimed that the laws disproportionately applied to black people. The burden of proof is on you. Until then, I will continue assuming that the police are not idiots and will not risk their careers by subverting the law just to get some white drug dealers off on a lower charge.

Just watched the video. Calling it racist is an extreme stretch since it affects anyone that it happens to but I agree with his points that getting busted in your own apartment that falls within a "school zone" and getting an extended sentence/more charges than you would if you happened to walk down the block is really fucked up
While I tend to agree. If the drug they are using is illegal it doesn't matter if they're at home. It's still illegal. At the same time, there are much more important things for the police force to worry about than a dude smoking a joint in his house.

An adult smoking on their own I'm not worried about no. Selling drugs to kids; punish them to the full extent of the law. And I would say the increased sentences for any race of person selling drugs to school kids is nothing but a good thing.

Also, a few blocks is not excessive. Kids at my middle school would walk further than that for marijuana.

And even in the most extreme case he gives, 3 miles, there's still no good explanation for how that's racist.

lmao thats not semantics, its two entirely different scenarios

How do you figure

In both statements he's calling a non-racist policy racist

The only possible issue you could make an argument of is that being within spitting distance of a school doesn't count as being at the school.

The difference between selling drugs to adults in your own home without children present and selling drugs inside a school is not semantics.

I didn't say inside the school. I was reverting to a policy that keeps drugs away from schools. You know, policies to ensure drug-free schools.

BLM require people to think as many things as possible are racist in order to justify their existence. The fact is, real anti-black racism today is pretty much limited to a few people not liking black people and not being afraid to say so. The higher-ups among Democrats aren't happy about this, given that they're among the people who don't like black people (I suspect the average everyday Democrats really do believe they're actually fighting against a problem; just that the problem doesn't actually exist); since they can no longer openly try to keep black people oppressed, they instead resort to convincing them everyone else is out to get them and that they need to focus on fighting that, rather than actually living their lives and succeeding. Never forget - the Democrats are the ones who didn't want to end slavery.

That doesnt matter at all - his criticisms are about drugs within school zones and not within schools themselves, which is a hugely important distinction to make when discussing this. Considering these laws are about protecting children and they are enforced when there are no children present inside the homes of adults rather than at a school, yes, its an important distinction.

So if a guy were selling drugs across the street from a school, and the police didn't happen to catch him selling drugs to a child at the time, you don't believe he should get a harsher sentence?

But thats not what the video discussed either. You cant handle this as an honest conversation for some reason.

Kids will (and do) walk several blocks from school to buy drugs. Ergo, harsher penalties for selling drugs within that radius is completely fair for keeping schools drug-free. Do you disagree?

this reminds me of what happened at a local elementary school this year. A bunch of black parents were saying the school's testing was racist against black kids for using proper sentences instead of using slang like "finna" and a few other examples I don't remember.

It was a bit comical to see that on the news.
