am i a criminal

ok i dont think your a criminal just because you smoked pot or weed or drunk one or two drinks then drove or went over the speed limit thats just well not stupid but over the top. many people have broken laws but i dont think that makes them criminals. as the article said even president barrack obama used illegal drugs and alot in his college days other president probably did to and are just scared to admit they did. i know we have laws but but they need to be more specific because people do and are going to make mistakes but that doesnt make them a criminal. and another thing in the article it said criminals mostley come from ghettos criminals can come from any where from rural communities urban communties and also surburban communities not just ghettos i thin they are taking these laws to far because little things like speedind should not clssify you as a criminal ok sometimes you may over due it so they give you tickets or something f your caught smoking pot or had a couple drinks and drove u should just get a warning first before you are classified as a criminal.
all of this needs to change now because its going to far
also what is the difference between us and other criminals
we also do stuff we just dont get caught maybe they need better law inforcement

  1. I think you have missed the point of the article. The woman is simply making the point that we often think of the people we lock up as very different from us, when in fact they are not so different--they just have been caught doing things that many people who don't get caught do.

    The article also does not say there is more criminal behavior in ghettos--it argues that ghettos are just where police tend to be because of institutional racism.

    The main point, in the end, is whether people should continue to pay for their crime even after they have gone to prison. What is your opinion on this issue?
