I AGREE...We should do away with MINIMUMS and go with MANDATORY sentencing! If you cannot behave in society...GuuuBYE NOW! I remember once going to court and watching 2-3rd time cocaine offenders walking out of court with parole and light sentencing. I was in there for failing to have a boat registered, which I WASN'T aware was necessary when using a trolling motor. I got up to the judge, made a few remarks to her about it and almost got jail time for it. Here I am NOT KNOWING I broke the law and got SLAMMED with a fine and court cost. I am tired of the far left coming to the rescue for CRIMINALS. All of these STUPID petty laws only effect the honest people...the criminals continue to do ANYTHING they want to do....laws don't stop criminals...MANDATORY SENTENCES WOULD!
