Judges are fair AND merciful.

So OK, here’s one: I caught the neighborhood drug dealer. I “ruined his life”. Everyone in town either loved me or hated me. I had busted out of the “Just Say No” talk to my kids and made everything about the drugs “Not Cool” because, well, a Mommy ruined everyone’s fun times. I didn’t worry about my kid’s reputation, my reputation, the friends, the unwritten rules of our cul-de-sac.

So what happened was between the three felonies (possession, selling, and intent to harm a minor) the guy got two years of probation. Will it go on his “permanent record”? Maybe. I don’t know. But he wasn’t exactly fulfilling his potential with the drugs anyway, was he?

If anything, I saved him from that lifestyle and himself. What most of these people do is become (legit) businessmen or work for their family if they have a “background”.

In ten years contact him. I bet he will give YOU an apology and a THANK YOU for saving his life.

Believe It,

Inky
