Damn mandatory sentencing laws.

Zero tolerance has never worked and it keeps giving the media ammunition like this. You never hear that a 18 yo punk, on probation for trying to steal cars, pulled a switchblade on a teacher who was trying to break up a fistfight. It always seems to be something like this silliness.
