Reply #25: I respectfully do not understand your argument...

Once again you are adding your own comments to the article. Who said anything about arrested people losing rights. If they are convicted through our justice system and sent to jail, they lose rights. Should prisoners not lose any rights?

Why do you think if prisoners lose their right to vote, it only effects democrats. Republicans don't commit crimes?

I think you are equating our justice system with a police state. We shouldn't have trials because an innocent person may be found guilty and then lose his rights. All murderers should go free because the trials may not be fair.

What do you suggest you do with persons breaking the law. Give 'em a break. Tell them not to do it again.

I lived in New Orleans for 25 years but left because the crime got so bad. It wasn't the guy on the corner smoking a joint that made it bad. It was the worst murder rate in the country..... Don't think every felon in Atlanta was only arrested for marijuana - they have over 40 murders per 100,000 people. That's pitiful.
