Robert Francis "Blotto" O'Rourke: Hey, I've Got a Great Idea. Let's Pay Government Money to Illegal Marijuana Dealers as "Reparations" .

Beto: Let's pay reparations for non-violent marijuana offenders

Yes, reparations for those who have served jail time for nonviolent marijuana charges.

That means at least dealing -- it has long been virtually impossible to go to jail on mere possession.

It's the latest big idea coming out of Robert Francis O'Rourke's presidential campaign.

[Washington Post] The former congressman from Texas would combine a newly regulated marijuana market with restitution for policies that resulted in lengthy prison time for low-level drug crimes. The goal is to see that those who were harmed by the strict "war on drugs" policies of the past can now benefit from the money made in the marijuana business.

"We need to not only end the prohibition on marijuana but also repair the damage done to the communities of color disproportionately locked up in our criminal justice system or locked out of opportunity because of the War on Drugs," O'Rourke said in a statement.

The plan is on his campaign website and it is worth taking a look at, if for no other reason than to see just how far the left is going in their war on the American taxpayer.

Go home, Furry. You're drunk and high. As usual.
