He's also a massive hypocrite because he used to say that drug users should be punished severely. Also in accepting the ACLUs help. There are different sets of rules for different "classes" of people, in this life anyway.

makes me think of the current Oklahoma AG Drew Edmondson (Democrat)

When he was the DA in Muskogee (He prosecuted me, So I know all about him...And no, I am not posting this out of malice, I did wrong and accepted my punishment like a REAL man would.) some friends of his were arrested at the Muskogee "Great Chili Cookoff" (At the Muskogee Civic Center) after officers discovered that they had over 2 kilos of cocaine in their possession. Instead of major jail time the DA recommended they be fined (!!!) and sent to drug rehab. These fellows had a long history of run-ins with the law, So why were they only fined and sent to rehab? Could it have been because of their friendship with Edmondson?

At the exact same time this happened a black teenager was caught with a vial that contained 1 crack cocaine rock, in his possession. This kid had never been in trouble a day in his life...What happened to him? He was sentenced to 10-15 years for charges ranging from "intent to distribute" to "drug trafficking".

Talk about injustice, It did cause Edmondson to lose his DA position in Muskogee...He decided to run for Okla DA years ago and not once was this brought up to derail his campaign.

Also on a related note, In Louisiana a few years back, Edmondson's (His brothers child, His brother is now an Oklahoma State judge) niece was arrested for armed robbery and shooting the store clerk, that left the clerk paralized and disfigured.

Edmondson always tried to protray that his niece was innocent and her then-boyfriend was the one guilty of this malicious act, He even tried to use his pull as Okla DA to get the state of Louisiana to drop all the charges (Absolute power corrupts absolute) saying there was 'no credible evidence that she was involved'. I wonder how he felt when a video surveillance tape appearred showing the complete robbery and who was the person that welded the gun and discharged it...Sure as hell wasnt the "then-boyfriend'.

After that tape was played nationally (Dateline ran a great story on the issue) the Edmondson family refused to discuss the matter at all, Even accussing the national media of baiting 'em with the uncovered surveillance footage.

makes you sick doesn't it. I cannot tell you how many people from rich or well connected families I have seen get off with a slap on the wrist for that very reason.

my point.

And yes it does make you sick. Why is it that nationally Oklahoma has the highest percentage of blacks incarcerated in prison for drug related issues? Some say it isnt hard to figure out why (ie-Okla AG Edmondson).

This state is the worse place to be arrested on drug charges...Unless you have money (ie-Mr.Drughead "Home Alone 8" Culkan) or good connections you're basically screwed.
