I have to ask, since this is HN and I presume the typical member has no experience, do you know the damage that crack, or even plain powder cocaine can do to a person? Have you truly witnessed that devastation first hand?

I have. I have no sympathy for someone who chooses to peddle drugs. One can speak about the difference in crack and powder cocaine sentencing, fair. Still, these are not marijuana. They can and will destroy lives.

That this man made it to America and chose to engage in crime says much of his character and willingness to watch humans slip into the abyss.
