Suck for these people.

You mean like the millions of Americans in prison for low level drug crimes?

This happens all the time in America, it's just not brought up because it predominantly effects lower income non-white.

So no, I won't waste my empathy on this. If you don't want to be held accountable to other countries laws, don't leave the US.

It was actually brought up by advocates and both political parties.

How Trump unexpectedly became the star of criminal justice reform

With the election of Donald Trump, advocates worried they had missed their chance at criminal justice reform. They were wrong.

I threw out a rough number, but let's see.

Feds say 45% of prisoners are for drug related offenses. [1]


Let's see, 1.25M prisoners total [2]


So no, not millions, I concede the point. But if we do add in parole it'll get above a million, not that's not in prison but close.

“You mean like the millions of Americans in prison for low level drug crimes?”

At best that is flawed logic to conflate inmates in prison on drug distribution charges with low level drug crimes.

Don’t let facts undermine hyperbole.

Hyperbole totally rips into this insane bar and absolutely destroys everything.

I’m packing for a quick fishing trip in the Quetico Provincial Park and thought of these fellas when I just found a couple of .308 cartridges in the bottom corner of my pack. Canada would not lock me up for 12 years of hard time if I had brought them with but they could give me a hefty fine and take my remote border crossing permit.
