It is "situational;" situational ethics we are witnessing here. I notice not one of those who are calling for compassion has responded to my earlier question, how many illegal aliens do we allow to stay here out of compassion for their "anchor babies?"

At what point do we draw the line on compassion? I have known a lot of people in prison for "drug charges," very very few who are sent to prison are there without having commited some felonious act beyond drug possession. A large percentage committed violent acts (B & E, Robbery, assault, negligent homicide) very few are in prison just because the had drugs on them, and then only after repeated opportunities to rehabilitate, even DUI cases are rarely sent to prison after one offense. It usually requires two or even three arrests.

I feel sorry for the little girl, but maybe this guy will contemplate this sad business when he gets out next time. To do otherwise is to enable him.

Sorry folks, compassion is a trait for individuals, not the state. That is why Madame Justice is blind.
