where the fuck is euphoria so he can post this as straws

we hand out probation like it's candy. people get probation for the mildest of offenses and all it does it give them an opportunity to go to jail.

I wasnt going to mention it to TTB because of the flak I'd catch but I'm currently on probation. That fuck-up last year with the car, where I got dragged down the street. I got a reckless driving on a bicycle charge. The 6 time felon that assaulted me with his car walked and I got 3 months probation, 40 hours community service, and a 300 dollar fine.

This punishment teaches me nothing. All it does it make me hate the system and if I'm caught drinking alcohol even once or leave the city without permission I will go to jail for a while. The description of marijuana as a gateway drug is pretty poor, but I could easily describe probation as a gateway punishment. It will only lead to regular people being caught up in the system, and petty criminals turning into hardened felons.

EDIT: I wish this kind of stuff could be brought up in the somewhat more mature area of P&P and not be used against me in rabble but meh, as if ttb doesnt have enough ammo with which to mock me.
