I've mentioned it before, but it still not an easy thing to talk about it.
I posted this the other day.
Its relevant to today's events in a simple way.
I was arrested on a drug charge.
The only reason I'm not sitting prison is kamala harris and the work she did on reform.

In 2016, I was living in CA.
I got kinda wrapped up in some shit I shouldn't have, with people I shouldn't have.
I got arrested on a fairly serious drug charge. It wasn't the wnd of the world, but I wouldn't cooperate.
So they threw the book at me.

I eventually took a deal for whatever the probation dept recommended for jail time, plus 3 years probation. I was scared shitless.
DA asked for the guideline minimum which would have been 3.5-5 years.
Probation recommended at 1-3 years, but at least a year...

The judge however didn't listen to any of em.
She specifically cited the justice reforms in the previous few years, and said she simply couldn't justify throwing me in prison over a whopping 5g of cocaine in that context.
She gave me 30 days and suspended the rest.

That wouldn't have happened without people like kamala harris. That wouldn't have happened without people like her, and the judge who was empowered by her, standing up and saying "this isnt right, people deserve a chance".

The reality is, I fucked up. I made some really dumb mistakes. And instead of just locking me up for it, they gave me a chance and gave me the tools to at least try and get my life back in order.
It hasn't been easy, but I wouldn't be here today otherwise.
