Joanna, PCP is a depressant not a stimulant, it actually causes the nervous system to shut down, it is only in a select few cases (like those idolized on cops) that we hear of PCP users having super human strength or being ‘crazy’ because of the drug. It is a common myth in our society.

p.s. I don’t think a dollar a week is enough, either.

The real “slap in the face” to my family is that the cab driver who hit the car my cousin was in, and forced it off of the road, wasn’t convicted of reckless driving, even though there were witnesses. Gary was 18 yrs old.

About the family that gets the dollar reminder each week. Grief counselors must have been involved. It’s probably trivial. The family thinks of their lost one every day. The grief, memories, pictures are constantly there. When my cousin was killed, for several years his parents kept his room exactly as he had left it(a Santana record was on the turntable). Even after many years, my mom still says, “Gary would have been [age] today.” on his birthday.

Ian: This may be totally off-topic, but I have a real problem with people who call cops names. These are people who willing put their lives on the line to keep things safe for the rest of us, only to have their every move scrutinized under a microscope. When you’re willing to go after armed 300-pound men strung out on PCP for no more than what they make, then you can call them names.

The police blotter at my uni had a funny one: a girl stole her friend’s x-box and the punishment was that he had to replace her ipod that he borrowed and lost.

I agree with others that the drunk driving cases deserved stricter punishments. Neither are fair sentences.

(PC: I thought that as well.)

Justin case is right. The family gets a weekly reminder. And only a dollar? That’s just a second slap in the face, IMO.
