I heard it on O'Reilly last Thursday or Friday night, when he was talking about this and the guy arrested for saving his dog, when talking about this O'Reilly was visibly angry. And I can understand why.

26 years?!? That's just a slap on the wrist. They should have executed him!! They should have tracked down all of his relatives and executed them too!!

...It's for the children, after all.

Marijuana was part of the culture Alexander grew up in. His dad has been busted twice, most recently in 1999, and grew plants on the property.

Dubya's trade policies are undermining the profitability of legitimate agriculture and forestry.
Global competition, prices have Alabama's lumber industry crying 'timber'

And the woman who got PROBATION for scalding her child to death in the bathtub...

I think SengirV forgot the /sarcasm.

I sure hope you are right!

It is easy, just invade all countries where pot is grown and exterminate the population...salt the fields, rape the sheep...and send all survivors to prison (of the sheep)...:0) This is so silly...why not long time community work and manditory rehab? Make him work in poor clinic or school...isn't Alabama very poor?

[The FRugitive]

Can't be too sure around here.

PING!

[steve-b]

This guy gets 26 years, and XXX42 walks free? The law is indeed as ass.

[Welsh Rabbit]

Either there is more to this story or this guy has a REALLY bad lawyer ...

Maybe Lionel Hutz has an Alabama office...

[Frapster]

Interesting - he's now a changed man. Maybe he'll get that probation as a result.

[sticker]

So, let me get this straight, his dad was busted in 99 and that was because of GWB's policies? Either you are using this families product or you got lost on the way to the democRAT underground.

[bassmaner]

WOD bump

You're right - the molesters should be doing hard, long time.

But I don't have any sympathy for Webster. The kid had been smoking pot for over half his life. His family was in the business of growing, and probably all his friends and schoolmates knew he carried, sold, and distributed.

Webster is worried about his broken dreams. I wonder how many lives he has "touched" with his dope-dealing? I wonder how many of his peers spent their days in high school in a drug-induced stupor?

Lest you think I'm a anti-drug zealot, let me say I spent my formative years in Southern California where pot was passe and harder drugs were commonplace. The teenaged years are a time of experimentation. Nature programmed us that way. It's how you get the brain-numbed out of the gene pool. For those of us who survived being teenaged in the 70's, there were Webster Alexanders in every hallway and behind the bleachers at every ballgame. And I can't think of a single one who has made anything out of themselves to this day.
