SALINAS, Calif. (AP) -- A Salinas man will have to choose between going to jail or joining the military as his punishment for possession of marijuana.

A judge surprised both the prosecution and defense yesterday when he told Brian Barr that he could avoid a jail term by enlisting in the military.

The 24-year-old Barr was charged with marijuana possession after shooting a would-be robber who had entered his apartment with two others.

Police say Barr sold marijuana from his home, and that the three men were searching for money and marijuana.

In giving Barr a choice of sentence, Monterey County Judge Robert Moody said that the shooting was justified.

Barr is scheduled to return to court next month.

No! What are you talking about? That's pure craziness. It makes no sense. Why would you punish someone for killing someone else. It's not like it's wrong or anything.

On the one hand you become the pie from American Pie, while on the other you get "Don't ask, don't tell". Also from those pictures of the prisoners in Abu ghraib Prison, you can conclude that the military if very much homosexual.
