Make gun ownership and proficiency a greater part of society. While California police were pepper spraying Occupy protesters, Arizona citizens were protecting the protesters right to protest. An armed society is a polite society<br /><br />For lessening drug crime penalties, jury nullification is constrained by statute and by judicial rules/practice. Increase the ability to argue for jury nullification. Allow your community to actually apply the law to it's standards, not the standards of demagogues.Chris Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837397319040457859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-67488477364130584022012-11-16T17:38:44.291-06:002012-11-16T17:38:44.291-06:00Dutton is a democrat in a republican-owned state. ...Dutton is a democrat in a republican-owned state.

Mr. Harold Dutton, (Yes, he reads GFB) on behalf of real Texans' (the taxpayers', voters', tourist & visitors’).<br /><br />While it's a known fact that everyone eventually pays taxes in one form or another & with Texas having a long history of suffering from mass ailments' like the voters' voting just to be voting syndrome, we thank you just the same.<br /><br />In closing, Sir, a hoe is a hoe, a weed is a weed, a bad cop(s) is a bad cop & it's about friggin time we dealt with it. Chastity Belts, Prohibition & Bad Cops, all being met head-on by one state rep., will obviously be opposed by the R’s, the police associations’ / unions’, prison stockholders’ & old farts’ alike. <br /><br />Despite this anticipation, I'm still looking forward to the elusive Bill with a set of balls and sharp teeth addressing - Cherry Picking for Innocence regarding the historical and systematic exclusion of claims’ being: Non-DNA, Non-Death Row and Inactive / Closed Cases, including those that are un-appealable (the Plea Bargained).

Read the bill. There are plenty of 14/15 year old freshman girls going to the same high school with 18/19 year old boys. <br /><br />And Anonymous @ 3:30 pm; you may not know this, but there are plenty of high school freshman girls out there who have been sexually active since their middle school days and they aren't being "groomed" or coerced into having sex by older teenaged boys. Girls are more mature than their same grade high school male classmates and typically like the older boys.<br /><br />A statute will not dictate human development. Two teens having sex is exactly that, two teens having sex. Not saying its right, I'm saying its wrong to treat these cases the same as REAL sexual abuse cases. Ask the REAL victims of sexual abuse.<br /><br />And, FYI,the ABSTINENCE ONLY sex ed classes aren't working. Last I heard, Texas leads the nation in teen pregnancy. Locking up the boys and labeling them as a sex offender isn't the answer, but that's what Texas has been doing for years. Brings up another issue. Texas has failed miserably at teaching statutory laws in our high schools and middle schools. Most kids are not aware of the devastating consequences of the existing statutory laws, including the 14 year old girls who will lie about their age to get an older boy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-86902050826601768192012-11-15T15:30:29.699-06:002012-11-15T15:30:29.699-06:00It will be "open season" on Freshman gir...It will be "open season" on Freshman girls!

I know there are plenty of exceptions to the rule, but I don't think there are very many 11 and 12 year olds that are capable of making that kind of decision, and that is what this age spread is effectively allowing.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764753072397690115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-56066981597736917562012-11-15T13:44:49.747-06:002012-11-15T13:44:49.747-06:00Wonder what Dutton's batting average is for bi...Wonder what Dutton's batting average is for bills passed vs. bills filed?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
