LETTER WRITER SIDED WITH POT GROWERS

This reader's letter (Wayne Clark from Maple Ridge) caught my eye and
before I read the letter, I predicted that the person was going to
pick sides with marijuana growers.

I was right.

The crime bill "costs too much," so the solution he thinks is to be
soft on drug growers and traffickers so we don't have to pay for
jails.

He calls this a "mix of conservative and religious ideology."

This is the most ridiculous argument I have ever heard.

Save money on jails and let criminals off, so they can steal more from
us.

What a great concept.
