In the long-foundering, ever-festering war on drugs, there's just
about zero truth to the idea of zero tolerance. As anyone who's
studied the prison population can figure out, certain groups dealing
in illegal drugs can be targeted for harsh punishment, while other
groups trafficking in the same drugs are all but ignored.
BTW if you ask the cops what the difference was, they would say
college kids are not shooting each other over their turf.
I know, they're more likely to break each other's x-box units or give
one another a time out.
It's still the same law broken, as you know. Just not the same
punishment metted out.
