I sat in on their last hearing and it sounded like 2 of the 4 defendants were good people with some smarts about themselves. A hearing they all pled quilty at btw. 2 of the defendants were well educated,with good jobs and one of the brothers was even a veteran. It just goes to show you what this drug does to people. People who do meth aren’t the same people they were before taking meth. Just one high from this drug changes your brain chemistry. Unfortunately when u lose brain cells they are gone forever

@bamagirl….It is sad for the family. But people don’t ‘just get caught up in a bad drug’……they make that choice. And even if they were there and not doing any drugs, they should not be hanging around this crowd! I do hope that all of these people have the desire to come clean & get the help they need.

@Bamagirl

I understand you wanting to protect your family, but face the facts, they are scum. Saying they got “caught up in a horrible and scary drug”, you make your relative come off as a victim, and they ARE NOT!

They made a conscious choice to get involved with this drug. Unless they were held captive and forced to do meth, they are NOT a victim, they are someone who just makes bad choices.

I’m sorry one of them is your family member, and if any were mine I would probably disown them. If you cannot make the correct choices in your own life, then I don’t need someone like that around me. Family or not, they are adults who should be held accountable for their actions, not given excuses for their actions.

Don, police officers like to scare people. they dont know what sentences certain crimes carry. Only a judge can determine that!

Some of you need too realize that not all those people up there are bad people. Some got caught up in the wrong thing at the wrong time. Not all are rats and saying i bet their mothers are proud is just plain rude. The mother along with the family I’m sure are very upset and don’t just want them to have to pay for what they have done but to also get help. I am speaking because i have a family member in one of these rows! Never judge without knowing the full story and always think how would you feel of someone was bashing your family member when you knowing in your heart that this is not what he nor she planned to do in their life, they just got caught up in a horrible scary drug!

I have severe allergies, had them all my life. My doctor recommended Allegra D, which I tried and it was the first medication that ever alleviated all my symptoms. Back then it was a prescription, $10 co-pay and no problem to get. Then Allegra went OTC, like most all the ephedrine drugs. Then the insurance companies quit paying for it. It also became very hard to buy the mess without feeling like a criminal. They check your license, which is no big deal for me, but if you buy a pack of 10, then go back on day 8 or 9 to buy another pack, you set off all kinds of warnings in their FBI database and they refuse to sell you more until the 10th day! I finally got my Dr to just write an Rx, the pharmacy fills it for a 30 day time period, I pay full price, and don’t have to go through all the background check. My pharmacy KNOWS I am not a druggie because I never buy more than I need. So tell me…HOW ARE THE DRUGGIES ABLE TO GO IN THE PHARMACIES AND GET LOTS AND LOTS OF EPHEDRINE??? Doesn’t seem fair. The druggies have made it very hard for those of us who really truly benefit from the drug. But they seem to have no problem obtaining it. Messed up!!!

CONSIDERING:
“Why is it everybody else is getting lots of time in prison but Gunderson she’s only getting 4 months? She is a rat ratting on everybody.”

If so, that would be a perfectly good reason to give her a reduced sentence, helping take a bite out of crime. (and she’s pretty — relatively speaking)

The more outlaws turn on each other, the harder it is to live outside the law and the less lawless nation we will have. Which is to say the more law abiding nation.
