CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
After the murder of Dr. Tiller and other abortion providers, you would think that distributing a WANTED poster with names and addresses of individual abortion providers,which could well incite harmful action, would warrant serious punishment. Not so in the case of Flip Benham. His trial is the first prosecution under a new North Carolina law against targeting individuals at their homes. If convicted, he would face a few months in jail.
In Oakland a transit cop who shot and killed an unarmed black man was given a sentence of 2 years.
Blackwater killings of civilians in Iraq have gone unpunished.
But possession or cultivation of marijuana can bring sentences ranging up to 1 year or 5 years in prison.
