A man throws a lit joint in a garbage can when he sees the police coming.
A building is set on fire...
The man realizes he f*cked up, saves 4 kids from the burning building.
He's a hero. - Untill the police finds out he actually started the fire.
Guess what, he goes to jail for 20 TWENTY years.
HOW can that be justice?
NO, he should not have thrown a lit joint in the trash, heck, he shouldn't even have smoked it to begin with. But when he saw what he did, he did what he could to stop the damage - and no one was hurting, only the building!
Had he run from it all, and not even attempted to save people, yes then twenty years would be more than fair. But at least he tried!
Kristopher Leija is only 26 years old, but who knows what kind of a life he'll be facing when he gets out in 20 years.
