You know what bugs me most about this guy (and others like him) is how smug they look in these pictures. I mean, he's been in and out of jail several times... appearently they can't pin enough on him to put him away for amount of decent time. So he sits there with a smirk on his face because he knows that he'll be out again soon. Our tax dollars at work.
ReplyDeleteMany things are illegal but prosecution is still selective.
ReplyDeleteI've read in local newspapers where his older brother Cecil Elliott Jr. has been arrested and in jail at least three times in the last month all while having a previous prison history. Their father Cecil Elliott Sr. was also involved in a drug deal in Richmond where he has caught, jailed and quickly released. Amazing what some people can get away with; hence the smirk...
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. Crime DOES run in families. Like the first poster pointed out, they do enough to get caught and get put away for a very short time, but they know that the law doesn't have enough (or the laws aren't tough enough) to keep them in jail for very long at a stretch.
ReplyDeleteRepeat offenders just make me ill because they know how to abuse the legal system to the max!
Brace yourselves, there is a movement in government that thinks we should lighten the sentencing of drug offenders and not put them in prison. I have no idea where we will put them.
ReplyDeleteHome detention and other mild punishment which will do nothing to deter crime is being advocated in lieu if jail time due to budget constraints. For those of you who want to continually cut the budgets might give that a second thought in certain areas. That's why people who advocate across the board cuts for lower taxes sake are very short-sighted.
