Secondly the maximum sentence for most crimes almost never happens for a first or even second time offender. He also plea bargained which is what both sides usually want. The prosecution gets a conviction and the defense gets a much lesser sentence if they were normally convicted by a trial. And even if someone is convicted during a trial, people do not always get the maximum sentences. Not unless you are a convicted of the mandatory minimums that are associated with many drug crimes.

You know something, I have a very thorough knowledge of the way the judicial system works. I've slept in a Holiday Inn Express or two in my day.
Go outside my state? WTF does my living in California have to do with anything? Do you think we live in a damn bubble here or something. I've lived all over the U.S. at one time or other, including your state. Besides, we have dog fighting and c*ck fighting here in sunny California as well. They are not regional activities, but are practiced by a few morally depraved individuals in every state. And I live about 20 miles from Mexico, and I know you know that they have those things there as well.

If I did not even contact animal control, they would have put my mother's dog to sleep. I do not know about you, but that sounds pretty cruel to me. And that is a practice that so-called dog lovers like you seems to accept. Now if you do not like my values that is your problem. I am a Christian, but I do not question the values of other Christian faiths because they are not like my own.

Euthenizing dogs and brutally killing them because they didn't fight well enough for your liking are two very different things. I think it is horrible if your state puts dogs and cats to sleep after only 24 hours. In
my
state they give the owners a couple weeks, and even then try to find homes through Adopt-A-Pet. They dont' just excecute animals willy-nilly.
It also just dawned on me: You were "dog sitting," and the one thing you were responsible for ran away? Remind me not to ever let you babysit my nieces and nephews!

Your sarcasm aside, I agree with most of what you said.
