The Frauds in the Florida Legislature

     In Florida, they recently passed a "Jessica Lunsford" law, which is a reform of Florida law.  It increases and decreases penalties related to sex crimes against people under twelve years of age.

     This is, at least, the fourth time in the last 25 years that Florida has changed its sexual predation laws.  This is apparent when you review the actual text of the act, in lines 390-406.  But the fact that this legislature, over and over again, keeps changing its mind is not the most insane part of the Florida criminal code.

     I will make a small table of crimes, to show you how insane their priorities are.

Line (from Act)	Felony Degree	Crime
440	Life	Sex offenses against people under 12
539	1st	Theft from someone over 65
561	1st	Cocaine trafficking, from one to seven ounces
542	1st	Carjacking without a weapon
447	2nd	Firing a missile into a building
445	2nd	Throwing a bomb into a public place
529	2nd	Turning someone under 16 into a prostitute

     So, in Florida, firing a missile into a building, or throwing a bomb into a mall, is less of a crime than theft from someone older than 65.

     In Florida, if they can prosecute trafficking in one ounce of cocaine, it is a worse offense than turning a 13 year old girl into your prostitute.

     These people are crazy!  They are pandering to their constituents and ignoring all common sense.  Throwing a bomb into a mall isn't worse than selling one ounce of cocaine?  I'm not for legalization of cocaine, but I can't believe it is that bad.
