I was concerned to read on Sept. 2 (“Police nab 200 pounds of meth”) that two men apparently caught red-handed with 200 pounds of methamphetamine were allowed to go free without even posting bail. Was that due to their status as fine, upstanding drug dealers?
Obviously, I wasn’t there, I’m not a judge and I’m not even an attorney. But I live in a world where I see, almost daily, people wandering down the street shouting at themselves and wildly gesticulating, when not actually threatening passersby. I guess the judge in this matter doesn’t live in my world. It creates a dangerous situation for average and lower-income people, when the judicial authorities are so out of touch with reality. It is useless for the governor to prattle on about mental health initiatives; they only seem to enrich psychologists and “counselors.”
It would be more productive for public security to simply enforce the drug laws. I can see why the police are so frustrated.

Mr. Rich – thanks for your letter. Actually, I’m surprised the judge didn’t give some of the meth back to these fine, upstanding drug dealers. After all, they need to make a living, too. Perhaps these folks were just babysitting the meth and not dealing and convinced the judge of their parental intent? Or perhaps they’re not US citizens, so they got a pass?
