Criminals get hero status, their victims are forgotten. You see it in the news all the time, where they 'profile' and tell the story of the murderer and belittle the victims...sick!

Destroyed from within by a bunch of maggots. We certainly have degraded ourselves quickly, it is taking less the 300 years before we implode. G-d help the United States of America before the liberalists, socialists, communists, and irrationalists destroy us. Liberalism is a mental disorder. Like Rome, so goes the United States.

It used to be that a felony meant something -- originally "felony" meant "crime punishable by death." Over the past 200 years, the distinction between felony, per se, and misdemeanor has essentially vanished for some crimes. Now, "felony" simply means something that a lawmaker wants to grandstand about. If felony meant what it did when those restrictions were passed, I'd oppose it. But frankly, when the only difference between a felony and misdemeanor is prosecutorial discretion, I think that the rest of the laws in the nation should recognize it.
