That’s what happens when our elected officials listen to the bleeding hearts who make excuses for quality of life crimes.

Lmao Eric Adams is not a bleeding heart progressive, my friend. You people voted him and his tough on crime persona into office. You should take a long hard look at yourself knowing that.

No one said he is. There are many politicians in this city with influence that are tho. Poor and low income PoC voted for Adams in the mayoral primary overwhelmingly btw, not sure what point you’re making.

And those same voters voted in a progressive city council and also the rest of those positions, so clearly it’s not a rejection of their policies like you think

Either way, it shows you that stupidity does not choose any particular race. PoC can make bad decisions with their elected leaders.

Or you can read something instead of attempting to be clever...

The law creates a presumption of trafficking for certain threshold amounts, e.g. 30 grams of cannabis. It also creates a presumption that a person possesses drugs if he possesses the keys to a premises containing the drugs, and that "Any person found in or escaping from any place or premises which is proved or presumed to be used for the purpose of smoking or administering a controlled drug shall, until the contrary is proved, be presumed to have been smoking or administering a controlled drug in that place or premises."

Just over an oz is enough to be convinced and executed. The threshold for trafficking is absolutely ridiculous and at their whim to make the case.

totally can see that viewpoint but singapore is an authoritarian state and they make the rules very clear. the flip side is having zombies walking around the city like we have here. that’s pretty dystopian too imo

Yes, a small point to consider.

And I'll state it again, slowly for you this time. The law creates a presumption of trafficking for certain threshold amounts, e.g. 30 grams of cannabis.

So if you have 31 grams on you you're now a trafficker of which hanging is the harshest possible penalty...so let's spend another 45mins arguing semantics you sentient potato...
