    Something about her being a criminal herself considering she prosecuted 1300 people for weed then years later laughed about it and admitted she smoked weed and definitely inhaled as well.

      So, which is it? You’re mad she did her job, or you’re mad she smoked weed? Because, as you conveniently neglected to mention, when she admitted to having smoked it in college, she was also speaking to the fact that she supports legalizing it.

        How does it make sense. You tell me what it is.

        Smoked weed in college. 20 years later she’s prosecuting people for it. Another 20 years later she wants to legalize it. So again you tell me what it is?

        She’s a fucking demon is what it is.

        I don’t conveniently miss a damn thing.

          It sounds like you’re joking, but the sad thing is I know that you’re not.

          Best of luck to ya, buddy. Hope you find something to calm the demons.

        Wtf are you talking about. Two threads is spam? Relax. Breathe. And stop doing what you are accusing me of doing. I’m voicing my concerns as I’m free to do and I don’t care if the leopards don’t like it.

        And what about it???

        Hint:

        she was conscious of the role of race when prosecuting. However, because of the lack of data, it is still hard to come to a conclusion as to whether or not her prosecutions disproportionately harmed people of color.

        The NAACP and DPA Report also found that from 2004 to 2008, while Black people in San Francisco made up approximately 7.5% of the city’s population, they made up approximately 37% of marijuana arrests.

        This fact check almost does the work for you, as much as they try not to.

        I’m sure everyone has done some decent acts in their life no matter how much of a POS they ended up as. Good luck to her and God bless our troops.

          marijuana arrests

          Arrests are done by the police, not the DA, so that issue lies with the police. And as much of the rest of the article pointed out, the number of people who saw the inside of a prison cell for marijuana possession was small.

            The article did not say the number of people she prosecuted who saw the inside of a cell was small it was vague in saying a small number went to state prison and some went to county jail or other conseques. Anyways how convenient. The number prosecuted remains hidden.

            And that has nothing to do with anything. You don’t have to see the inside of a cell to have your life de-railed and ruined due to a conviction. Once it’s on your record. It’s there and will affect certain opportunities you may have otherwise had. And that will follow you a long time. So that’s long term. Then there was also the short term immediate perils you may have went through going through the conviction process. Arrests are done by police sure but that’s also
