1. Thats it? A slap on the wrist?

What a joke!

I wonder if they were selling heroin on the corner - or black kids pushing crack cocaine what their sentence would be?
Was their age a consideration in sentencing? I hope not. They ran 77 mil drug ring and get a slap on the wrist. Who knows how many people died? Inevitably when that many Opioids are being pushed on the streets, people die. Not to mention the devastating effects of addiction.
This so called war on drugs is friggin joke - just a war on poor folks.
Why is their sentence any different from a drug cartel? From the drug gangs?
Why do doctors get a pass? They are no different from the drug dealers on the corner. Matter of fact, in my opinion they are even worse than the dope man on the corner. They take an oath to First do no harm.
