National Skyline Texas Judge Refuses Plea Deal for Alleged Pot Possessor Willie Nelson

As you may recall, last November the living legend was, quite unluckily, busted by Border Patrol agents in the land of wide open spaces while allegedly possessing six ounces of marijuana — or as he might like to call it, breakfast. And now he might have a hard time catching a break.
Unsympathetic Hudspeth County Judge Becky Dean-Walker — or as I’m gonna call her, The Okie from Hudspeth — is, keeping references current, putting on a stern Nancy Grace face, and going full Maximum Bob on Nelson, rejecting a prosecutor’s proposed plea deal that would’ve slapped the country singer on the wrist with a $500 fine in exchange for a guilty plea.
Perhaps realizing that it would only take a single spliff toke to alleviate a wrist-slap’s burn, and not being cool with that, Judge Dean-Walker told AP that, since said prosecutor “doesn’t do that for anybody else,” she won’t allow it for Nelson, who she thinks is undeserving of special treatment.
I disagree.
I mean, yeah, I know that no man is above the law and all, yadda, yadda gavel-bang, but really? Dude founded Farm Aid for fuck’s sake. And he’s gone on the road, playing Texas towns again, and again, and again for, like, half-a-century — putting on concerts that have got to benefit the state’s regional economy more than the potential year in jail a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge might saddle him with would.
So, Texas, speaking as a character witness, I implore you — Free Willie!
Because this is the worst thing that might happen:

Interesting this is happening. I have a friend who plays in the band of frequent Willie-tour-mate Ray Price and when this all went down I asked if him if Willie would be okay. His response? "Willie Nelson is a Texas gangster. One round of golf with a DA and this will all blow over." I guess the round of golf happened and the Judge is pissed she didn't get invited.
I Disagree with the judge,
He didn't have enough on him to even arrest him, and my Lord he is a Legend, a Hero to all the Farmer's in the USA, as well as many of his fan's, he has taken Horse's before they were killed for us to eat..This is nothing but someone wanting their 15 minutes of fame! You also have to remember that "Weed" is a plant our dear Lord made, and since the government gets a lot of money from it, they won't let you use it, they wouldn't get rich, I have heard where the police takes it and burns it in fields, Ha! that is too funny, you know they had to get a good high from that LOL!!!
What gets me today, is they never talk about drinking, and getting behind the wheel as much as drugs and cell phones, God forbid if you have a tiny bit of weed as well on your floor of your car, bus, etc. This world is all about money, GREED! I hope they get all they can out of this world, Money that is, because one day they won't need it anymore..because I don't think God likes Greed, or the love of Money! You can't have both! I don't do any of this, drink, smoke or drugs, their not good for your body, but if someone wants to use Weed, then they should without anyone saying a darn thing about it. If they aren't selling it to anyone and just using it to help them make their life a little better then leave them alone! Life is very stressful, heart breaking, and more people die from stress then heart attacks!
What gets me I am sure every President has tryed weed in their lives, or drugs. Our Government is two faced, and Greedy. Willie to me is a good soul, a hero, and a legend. He has done more for the USA then any President has done, and they want to do him this way? I hope you all can sleep at night!
