The broken system my tax dollars pay for

Ok, so I found out more about the guy that OD'd in the bathroom at work last night. Turns out he was arrested just last week for doing the exact same thing at another Walgreens. One of the officers that came to the store was actually the one who actually arrested this kid. The policeman even remembered the boy's name.

He just got out of jail a couple hours before all of this took place.

It gets worse. The store's general manager actually knows about this guy doing similar things at some of the other stores he has worked at.

Upon hearing this information, one has to wonder why Arizona state law, by and large a great state as far as laws go (compared to places like Ca, NY, Ma, Md, and the like), has such loose drug laws. Why would someone with a record of drug abuse be kept for only a week? Why wouldn't a judge throw the book at him? Have liberals started writing our books?

Maybe I just have a distorted view of how things roll in Az. Still though, it is better than the state you live in. Unless you live here, in which case, it doesn't get better.
