I'm glad for Willie that he and his band got off with a "slap on the wrist," but we need to remember that their punishment/persecution could have been very much more severe, and that almost anyone else caught in a similar situation would be facing serious prison time.

If you or I or any other anonymous "nobody" had been caught with that much pot, we'd be under the jail there in Breaux Bridge.

And just imagine if it had been some black celebrity/millionaire, like a rapper or a pro athlete ~ the poor guy would be demonized in front-page headlines from coast to coast!
