Baton Rouge rapper Lil Boosie was sentenced to 4 years in prison after violating the conditions of his probation. Boosie, who was originally facing 2 years for a drug and gun charge, had his sentenced doubled for repeatedly violating the terms of his house arrest. What a moron! I remember hearing Boosie say he was pulling in $25,000 a weekend just from shows, and now he's thrown it all away on some bullshit. I don't care if you're saving a kitten from a tree, don't leave your house when you got that ankle monitor on!
As dumb as this story is, Boosie is not the real criminal here. Kind of.
Don't get me wrong, Boosie should definitely get some time for illegally possessing a firearm. I don't fuck with guns, and I'm a strong advocate of gun control and mandatory minimums on gun crimes. Just register that shit dude, it takes like 8 days, or at least get a thorough goon squad who are either willing to carry and throw down, or cop to the gun charge once the cops pull you over. But I digress.
The real criminal in this situation are drug laws in the state of Louisiana.
Boosie got busted for blazing some weed in his whip. He was facing 20 years on the drug charge so he had to enter a plea. 20 years! For some dro? America, (Southern states especially) your drug laws are backwards, crule and unusual. If there's a place where you can do more time for possessing a non-addictive, therapeutic plant than a fucking handgun, it's time to re-evaluate societies priorities.
So, to all of the legislators and law enforcement in the State of Louisiana: open your fucking eyes! And if the state of Louisiana doesn't change their policies after reading this, rappers: register your guns and hire a weed carrier!
I'm not gonna say "free Boosie" cause of the illegal gun, but surely dismiss the drug charges against him as they are both draconian and oppressive.

Boosie is whack, so at least a good rapper isn't doing 4 years. Drug laws in the U.S. = insanity.
