Default No other word for this but tyranny

Some infuriating excerpts include:

[ QUOTE ]
Ironically, the state of Florida now pays for a morphine pump connected to Paey's spine which delivers the same class of medication at the same doses the state of Florida told him wasn't necessary, and put him in prison for trying to obtain.

[/ QUOTE ]

and this gem:

[ QUOTE ]
Publicly, Paey's prosecutors have conceded that the 25-year sentence was excessive, yet they insist that Paey himself is to blame, citing his refusal to accept a plea agreement. The chilling implication: Paey is serving prison time for drug distribution not because he's guilty of actually distributing drugs — the state admits as much — but because he insisted on exercising his constitutionally-protected right to a jury trial.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you're not furious about the drug war yet, you are just ignorant.
