simplistic moronic beginning to a discussion
this is one example of using law to target blacks. There are countless reasons why law discriminates against different groups - by purpose or by ignorance - this one was by purpose

there is also just plain stupidity ------------ like the bringing in of 3 strikes mandatory sentencing a generation ago ----------- sheer right wing stupidity
WA and NT 3 strikes - governments were warned and warned and warned by civil libertarians that 3 strikes policies and laws would make things WORSE ------ but, they persisted
voila -------- a generation later ------------- it's worse. Not magic, it's called cause and effect.
Only simple minds say 'to stop being jailed, stop offending' -------------- absolutely simpleton stuff. People offend 'because' of something
looking at the 'somethings' is where one begins ------------- the root of the problem, one needs to treat the CAUSE - not the effect.
