A Non-Celebratory Family Gathering

I just got home from a family gathering and cookout. We were supposed to be getting together to celebrate David’s release. However, it didn’t work out that way. The State fucked up David’s paperwork (surprise, surprise) and now they will not let him go until October 27th.

Instead of celebrating, we ended up watching the Presidential debate and spending time with my uncle Brad. He may be sent back to prison in the morning. He isn’t being charged with anything, but the State is trying to revoke his parole because some marijuana was found in his truck a couple years ago. They had charged him for it, but the charges were dismissed. I don’t understand how they can revoke his parole if he wasn’t prosecuted for the marijuana. I hope that his attorney will be able to get the revocation dropped as well.

The State is about to release my brother after keeping him for almost seven years, now they want my uncle for eight years. Bastards. There are violent criminals out there running free, but they want to put my uncle in prison for eight years because he had an ounce of marijuana in his truck… anyone else see something wrong with that?
