Anyone can get a job now a days and they have temp agencies for felons to get work… He just doesn’t want a job, he went back to his old ways.

Why does a non tax paying entity have any input that is that heavily considered?

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Felons can’t get jobs after leaving prison? His job prospects are certainly limited, but employment is still very possible. He isn’t a victim of the “system”. He’s a criminal by the actions he took by his own free will. Three previous armed bank robberies and this is his fourth. Good riddance, he isn’t capable of living in a civil society.

What’s offensive is an officious, overbearing government that caters to the whims of a few busybodies. This is outrageous.

Lmao

Always funny how they throw out the coke and heroin first, and then sheepishly offer weed when you refuse.

Who hurt you?

Maybe he should try not being poor? -Republicans, probably

If you wanna hustle like a criminal at least don’t be a fucking idiot about it.

So instead of committing crime, he should commit crime. Got it.

What was he supposed to do instead? Let me guess, "get a job"? Which would be so easy for him given his record.

Ummmmmmmm

Not commit an armed robbery maybe 🤔

Steal shit from best buy, break into cars. Plenty of low court bullshit crimes he could have done rather than be a felon committing armed robbery. Low hanging fruit…

😭😭😭😭

It's almost as if the system was not designed to rehabilitate people but just to punish them. Dude needed money, has a medical condition, and a felony record. What the hell was he supposed to do?

This is wild. As far as I can see, it’s just a Lichtenstein-like pop art image of someone rollin’ up and smoking. People are weird.

If that offends you, well, I have even worse news…

It appears it’s actually named for the town in Oregon where the first location opened. 🙈

Last night on the way home someone asked me if I wanted to buy some. I was shocked cuz it was probably the first time in I dunno how long it was weed and not heroin or something being offered to me.

Article states it’s a “harsh penalty”. It’s was an armed robbery. Throw away the key!

He was released early, and then went out and did this dumb shit. He wasn't fully free, he was under house arrest.

>Graham got “early compassionate release” after 13½ years and was put on home confinement in November 2020 in Newark.

>His early release was based on a diabetes diagnosis, obtaining a high school equivalence degree in 2014, and attending prison programs to help him obtain gainful employment upon release, according to federal court papers.

>Graham robbed the East Orange cellphone store just two months after he got out of jail.

Like. Dude. You weren't even fully out yet.

Is this the three strikes and you’re out rule?

> The reason: Graham is a convicted felon who spent 13½-years in federal prison for three armed bank robberies in 2006. So, his latest conviction for brandishing a handgun in a violent crime will be treated with greater severity.

Dude was out for a couple of months and then reoffended.

Oh heavens me oh my, a marijuana lounge in our fair city?! I do declare.

It is the shame of this state that we still don’t have a marijuana dispensary in either of our two biggest cities after all this talk of correcting historic injustices of targeting black and brown folks in the war on drugs.
