From: [b--r--e] at [rcf.rsmas.miami.edu] (Charlie Byrne) Newsgroups: talk.politics.drugs Subject: Mayor of Miami an Idiot Date: 16 Sep 1993 15:11:12 GMT From Miami Herald Op-Ed Sept 16, 1993 in response to the hysteria over tourist shootings, the mayor of Miami, Xavier Suarez, had this to say: "We should place in adult jails only those who have committed serious crimes. Lesser criminals should not be occupying the beds needed by hardened criminals." I'm reading this and thinking, gee he's got the right idea! But two paragraphs later: "Drug dealers caught with their contraband should be locked up for many years, regardless of how we learned of their possesion of the drugs". Sigh. -Charlie
