I didn't know if everyone was hip to this or not so here it is. Some rich cat's son got washed and he wants to do away with the 3 strikes law. His son is serving life for driving faded and killed his homies giving him his 3rd strike. So if the proposition passes his son will get out with time served.
I believe they're going to vote on it November. So if it gets overturned if you or any of your homies have any strikes, they get erased right then and there. Alot of cats would get out for time served. The link is www.facts1.com . They have some info and facts on this website.
Finally, tell everyone you know to get out there and vote. Some homies who thought they would never see daylight may have a chance. I haven't heard too much about this so I think they're trying to keep it on the hush. Stay Up and I'm out...................

Im definetly going to vote
to keep them in jail...if they have been there 3 times already, what makes you think they're going to stop going to jail? its a continual pattern, they aint nuthin but lowlifes and they should just stay in there already, since they have a 90% chance of returning

lol no way this is gonna get overturned

It's only for nonviolent third strikes ;)
The initiative would make a convicted felon eligible for a 25-years-to-life sentence only if the third offense is violent or serious. Possession of small amounts of drugs, for example, would be exempted, as would petty theft - in one infamous case, a man who pilfered a piece of pizza got 25 years because it was his third felony.
I'm not sure if I'm for it...need to read the details.

^ Republicans sponsered and passed the bill... in other words, you're against it wholeheartedly because it's a vile and despicable plan by the man to keep black people down.
To the guy that posted this: Fuck you. By voting for that, you're saying that a rich kid can drive drunk and kill people, and get away with it, because he has enough money to change the law. All your friends that are behind bars with '3 strikes' need to stay the fuck behind bars, since they're such fuckup's they got there 3 times already. In days past, we would have just executed someone caught fucking up that much, you're lucky we live in a society compassionate enough to only steal their freedom from them.

I don't want muthafuckaz to go free that fucked up THREE TIMES!!! Everyone makes a mistake, but then you learn from it. If you can't, then you just aren't a productive member of society and you belong in an institution.
Let those dumbasses stay in jail.

So if the cops pull you over and you go to jail for a month or so for possesion of and ounce of weed. Then you go to jail for getting in a fight for a couple days.
Then you go to jail for destruction of property (for a good reason) for a lil bit
Then you're 3 strikes are up? That is retarded shit.. THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT SHOULD BE IN JAIL FOR LIFE ARE RAPISTS, MURDERERS. PERIOD

I think the whole 3 strike setup is stupid.
They should increase jail-time based on someones wrap sheet.
For example...
1st robbery - 8 years [home]
2nd robbery - 12 years [home]
3rd robbery - 16 years [home]
or
1st offense - drugs - 4 years [based on the amount]
2nd offense - robbery - 12 years [looking up at the first example]
3rd offense - drugs - 8 years [double the 1st offense like I did in the first example]
Only if I could run California jails ;D I would make those make those motherfuckers work in jail no cable tv/internet/library/magazines/candy/gym/lifting weights/church/green grass/basketball courts nothing >:(

well after you do two stupid things, you should think to yourself....."hmmmmm one more felony and i can face life in prison......should i bust that cheating bitches car to pieces or maybe be a man and live my life?"

As someone that has cousins in danger of breaking the 3 strike law, and am a resident of California, and a liberal, I will say, keep the 3 strike law. In the intercity it's common sense, you stupit enough to break the law that many times, then you going to jail. It sucks, but common sense tells you not to break the law. So don't. Also, in California, drugs doesn't count if you go to detox. So you can go to detox, and they would count drugs against you, unless your selling it.

Trauma... as I've said before, stop proving my point. I pray for you.

Petty crimes yes i dont think they should count, & i usually disagree with Kain but i like the system he came up with, thats a fairer system in my view
but yeah, this guy was faded & drove & killed his homies, he shouldnt have drove faded then, its his stupid fault.
People who drink & drive, or any type of intoxication & drive are just inconsiderate selfish idiots, & if they killed someone coz of that then they deserve to be punished. When we have smoke sessions, my mates never drive until they are sober or not so intoxicated, but when you're faded or drunk & you decide to drive then your an idiot
You put other peoples lives at risk. I was friends with a guy once he drove drunk like a mad man going at 120 kmph swerving on the road, after that I was like fuck you i'm not getting in a car & risking my life like that again (i didnt know he was drunk when he picked me up), gave him another chance 6 months later & he did the same thing again. Fuck him for putting mine & other peoples life at risk all because he wants to be "cool" or wants to make it home in time for the sports game.
So i say lock this idiot up & throw away the key, he was irresponsible 3 times let him pay the price & stop fucking up innocent peoples lifes

I agree, i think smaller crimes should be exempt from the 3 strike rule, but if you rob a bank or fraud someone out of thousands or kill or rape or whatever u deserve to go to jail for a long time, & if its your 3rd strike u probably deserve to be in jail for life because you cant rehab yourself

put them away if they keep fucking up
