Hugh_Hoy Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Curious as to where you got that 80% figure. Out of the air? I got my 28% from California DOJ stats. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Somewhere off the internet. Gotta go see if I can find where it was now ... (Hope it wasn't Jesse Jackson.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh_Hoy Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 ROTFLOL ! Here's the table from the CA DOJ site that I got my stats from. Yeah...2 years old, I know (and only represents one state...not the country). http://stats.doj.ca.gov/cjsc_stats/prof03/00/3A.htm I have to believe that a LOT of the violent crimes and property crimes are related to drugs, even though they aren't classfied as drug-related. I know I don't have to draw pictures for you, but "drug related arrests" are usually those made of somebody possessing, importing, selling, distributing drugs. But a lot of violent crimes are committed by users under the influence, turf battles, robberies committed to purchase drugs, etc. Same with property crimes such as auto theft and burglary. So, the influence of drugs no doubt is related to many more arrests than just "drug related". So, maybe 80% of crimes are related to drugs. :: I'm not a criminologist; not a statitician.

You're using that to support your argument??? A book written by the prosecution that says the prosecution didn't fuck up??? :rotfl: :rotfl: That's got FOZW written all over it. You'd better come up with something better than that to pass judgment on the US legal system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did, but that came a bit later in my post, and in the post before. But that must have escaped your appearant culturally specific attention span. Sincere apologies for my long posts.

Paillote Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 suadum said: The OJ trial is a prime example of the system working perfectly. Yes, I do believe that he was guilty. But the prosecution fucked up big time and the system protected the individual's rights from illegal prosecution. Not the system's fault...the system worked perfectly. You call that working perfectly? If a prosecuter "fucks up" it is perfectly fine that you can walk on a crime you definitly did do? A good lawyer improves your chances in court, but a shitty proescutor is even better... Paillote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
