Yesterday Kendall Alston, age 31, was sentenced in federal court to five years for selling fentanyl pills in downtown Seattle and for armed shoplifting in Bellevue.
There are two less crooks to worry about today – both drug dealers.
But maybe there’s hope – at sentencing, the judge described him as an “intelligent young man engaging in high-risk behavior.” So when he’s out in five years, at the age of 36, perhaps he’ll go straight. At sentencing, the judge scolded him, saying, “Look at all the people you see clutching foil and a straw… They can’t pay their rent, they can’t feed their children… I want you to develop a conscience beyond the money you put in your pocket.” That was a reference to the $55,000 in cash found at his home in Renton.But Mr. Pitts wasn’t only selling drugs – he was also vigorously exercising his Second Amendment birthright.
And you know who keeps them going? Everybody who buys pills on the street. Everybody who buys and sells a gun in a back alley.
