Comments on: Chance of Jail Time For Bigfooter? http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/jail-chance/ for Bigfoot, Loch Ness, and More Sun, 22 Nov 2009 06:04:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: vernassina http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/jail-chance/#comment-50274 vernassina Sat, 13 Dec 2008 02:06:40 +0000 http://www.cryptomundo.com/?p=8615#comment-50274 Mr. Chance could certainly use our support right now. What a terrible waste of legal resources, and for what? To break a man's spirit? This gentleman is a kind soul, who has given back to the community in many ways. I will not stand for the government trying to steamroll him, when there are bigger fish to fry. My prayers go out to this fine educator and his family. I'll be at his farm this weekend to buy a tree, a book, and continue to offer any support I can for Bob. Mr. Chance could certainly use our support right now.

Education, treatment and prevention should be where the money is spent, instead it is spent ensuring that over 1 million NON-VIOLENT offenders, many whom suffer from a DISEASE called addiction, are jailed and cost taxpayers a minimum of 40 grand per year to house. I think what a person ingests into their body is their business and should not be a crime. Being a former addict and successful methadone maintenance treatment patient, I have seen first hand the misery of addiction and know full well just how big of a failure the drug war really is. Since Nixon declared this idiotic war, we continue to spend more and more money YET the amount of drugs on the street and the number of addicts rise each year, that equals epic FAILURE. The Netherlands have much more sensible attitude with relaxed laws and concentrate on a common sense approach and use education and treatment instead of jail time and guess what? They have less addicts, less crime and less STDs than the US. Sorry to rant but this is a very sore spot for me and many others. I never encourage anyone to use drugs and warn of the misery that is addiction, however, I only tell people to be informed and educated about what they are taking and putting into their body. Sorry for the ramble. I hope Bob gets probation. If he goes to jail, because of overcrowding, many VIOLENT criminals such as rapists, murderers and child molesters are released to make room for all the non-violent drug offenders. Ok, I will step down from the podium now. Yeah, the war on drugs is just a drain on the economy that keeps our prison industrial complex alive and well.

He is a true champion of all living creatures and a tremendous asset to the bigfoot community. Don't even get me started on "the war on drugs"... I wish Bob all the best.

I hope he makes it out all right. Mr. Chance went on several bird watching expeditions with my high school Biology class, he was a good fun person. I hope he makes it out all right.
