My mother just stop'd by to let me know the news of Abrothers Court day.... I can not stand the worthless people that they have working in our court systems... I don't know why We even pay their salary's...
THEY LET HIM GO!!! AGAIN... I mean lets see... He is 29 yrs old, he has a record to date of (4) DWI's (GUILTY)since he was 18, he has not had a drivers license since 18! But yet, the most time he has spend in ANY JAIL was 3 months... As for Rehab, it has NEVER been awarded for him...He has been busted for Drugs/possision, and all kinds of things at LEASE (4-5) (GUILTY)times, and yet he is still able to walk the streets...
I love my brother I do, but Damn this system that allows for the addicts to rule the courts, and get no penilty for thier crime, it just ticks me off terribley...
This Court Date was for "Breaking Probation" From (3) Years ago, He didn't do the (40) hours community service, and did not appear in court... So they picked him up... (40) hours... One Weeks worth of work, and he could not get it done in (3) Years... The dumb*ss's Gave him (30) MORE DAYS To complete them... What are THEY Smoking... He couldn't do it in 3 years, what is 30 More days going to prove...
Does this only sound wrong to me, I mean, I know that I had hopes that he would go..But I also knew that it was out of my hands, but damn...is it in anyones hands... Why waist his day, just send him a note in the mail saying... "Keep Going till you Kill Someone.. Then maybe we will make you Accountable"... Urgggg....
Thank God For this program... Because I tell you, the 'old' me comes really close to the surface when I have nothing to hold on to... And right now, I am slowly trying to keep my grip... Grrrrr....
I guess that is all I have, Hope it is legible, for I am ticked and prob. going faster then my fingers and accually type... Just Ticked Clear Off... What a system we have...
Would love some meditating ESH... :) Thanks for letting me Vent... Jozie...
How lame. You are totally right for being dissapointed. Thankfully we have this program that teaches us to let go and to put everything in our HP's hands.

Hmmm.. this sounds familiar. My ex- AH was arrested for cocaine possession. Instead of serving time for this felony, they are giving him a second chance. His two year committment is almost over (this July). I can count on both hands how many times this past year he has seen his four year old daughter. Child support?? What's that??
Well, I can empathize with your feelings that our system can be quite inadequate. I feel as much.
