>The charge that my friend Alina is accused of, is related to amphetamine not
methamphetamine, nor driving with a false license. The article you linked
mentions amphetamine, not methamphetamine. These are different compounds with
different effects.
Meta or not, it's an illegal drug. She was found with an illegal drug, so she
was welcomed to have some time in jail. That's the way it works, mate.
Whether the laws are just or not, it is not up to me to say. But do not
wonder if they trow you in jail when they find meta or not meta amphetamine
in your pocket.
>Amphetamine is considered benign
Yeah.. So is marijuana, here where I live, still.. not legal. Whether it
should be, it's not up to me to say, but guess what happens when they charge
you with possession of?
>The web page of the fundraising campaign says exactly what the facts are,
that Alina faced obstacles and the scorn of people, and then it describes as
an example the problems he faced when he married. Nowhere does the web page
call anybody "stupid" or "bigot".
You completely misunderstood and missed the point. I will try to explain it.
What you describe as "scorn of people" is exactly what I refer to as bigotry
and human stupidity.
I did not say you used those terms, in fact I used them to point out how
those who scorned Alina are just stupid bigots. But I also pointed out how
this episode has nothing to do with her driving without a license or
possessing illegal drugs.
>Here you are assuming that my friend Alina committed the crime that he is
accused for. Given that you are so keen on proofs, where is your evidence
that he committed this supposed crime?.
I'm not assuming anything. I am just saying that driving without a license
and possessing illegal drugs is illegal, illegal for me, for you, for Alina.
>It also surprises me that you place so much faith in the moral of the legal
system.
Ha! Law and morals (or more correctly ethics) are two very different things.
>You are saying that if the bureaucrats that make laws that say that
something is wrong, then it is wrong.
No, I'm saying that if you drive without a license and possess illegal drugs
you wind up in jail. So, Alina, is not "innocent" as you say in your article.
Unless she indeed was not driving without a license and was not found with
drugs.
