On CNN: Life for selling pot brownies. Jacob Lavorro faces 5-99-life for possessing 1.5 pounds of pot brownies in Texas.

The punishment surely doesn't fit the crime. It's not like the guy is Osama or Bernie Madoff.

Or even Obama.

Article: Terry Crews says people should forgive Donald Sterling

Terry Crews is one of the few men with some sense on this issue!

(I've always liked Terry Crews after seeing him in this scene. LOL)

Sterling needs to come out as gay, then he can say whatever he wants. For example:

The President is a fink.

You know, people will probably think you're just being facetious here, but I think you're really on to something.

I can totally picture Sterling getting out of this mess by simply stating that he is in fact a gay man who was closeted for 80 years. Then he can say that all of his derogatory comments about blacks were made because he was jealous of the great treatment that Michael Sam got after coming out. Then he can pay one of Sam's ex-boyfriends to pose as his main squeeze at a press conference.

Sterling should seriously consider this. With so many idiots in this country, a "gay" admission would turn his fortunes around immediately.

Freedom. Freedom to say whatever you want. Freedom to be offended at whatever you want. Then, basic capitalism and the free market and calculating that you will lose less money by firing them than you will by keeping them.

They must figure that the people who are offended by the statements are worth more to them than the people who will be offended by their firing.

It's a free for all.

That's hilarious, I love how libs are all of a sudden so eager to use the "free market" argument.

...but as soon as you fire someone for being pro-gay, they get their panties all bunched up and scream, "Bigot! Bigot! Bigot! Bigot! Bigot!!!!" Typical lib hypocrites. lol
