Drug Linked to Overdoses Can Kill in Doses Smaller than Snowflake...

WTF?

I honestly don't give a **** what they do in the Philippines.

I want drug dealers to be executed here in the United States, where it might actually benefit me.

The only part of you that will benefit is your inner demon, as some blood lust will be satisfied. Otherwise, it will change nothing. People will still use, and people will still sell.

Doesn't mean we throw in the towel and give up on eradicating criminals.

I never admitted any such thing. And when I said before that the rule of law is flawed, I misspoke, I meant some laws in general, are flawed.



Nope, has nothing to do with love. What I do like is when a criminal is stupid enough to try and kill someone and gets his ass snuffed in the process by a cop or citizen victim. Saves a lot of money and time wasted.

That's called self defense, whether it be for oneself or defense of a third party.

Make My Day is not just a cliche. ;)

How many people did you kill when you were upholding and enforcing the law?

On the day he almost died, John Hatmaker bought a packet of Oreos and some ruby-red Swedish Fish at the corner store for his 5-year-old son. He was walking home when he spotted a man who used to sell him heroin.

Mr. Hatmaker, 29, had overdosed seven times in the four years he had been addicted to pain pills and heroin. But he hoped he was past all that. He had planned to spend that Saturday afternoon, Aug. 27, showing his son the motorcycles and enjoying the music at a prayer rally for Hope Over Heroin in this region stricken by soaring rates of drug overdoses and opioid deaths.

But first, he decided as he palmed a sample folded into a square of paper, he would snort this.

Dumb ass junkie
 
The drug in this story is coming from Mexico. It's making the cartels very rich while killing Americans on a daily basis. Without taking a serious measure, like building a wall on the US border with Mexico, there's going to be thousands more killed.

The criminals are the ones who write poor law and do not repeal it. The criminals occupy the halls of government, for the most part. They will never be eradicated.

The only reason there are criminals selling drugs on street corners is because our esteemed politicians have declared the drug prohibition, and that began in 1914 with the Harrison Narcotic Act. The only reason there are drug cartels is because our government officials, and many misinformed citizens, insist upon the prohibition model.

Nothing has changed. In the 60's and 70's, valium was the most consumed drug in America. More than aspirin. Middle-aged "housewives". The more intense the effect of the drug, and thereby the greater risk of harm, the more those with an addiction tendency want it. Rural, urban. Doesn't matter. Fine Christian upbringing. We gave him/her all the love and support parents could give. I doubt that legalizing illegal drugs would change anything. Do you doubt yourself?

"No more running for the shelter of your mother's little helper" Don't forget Miltown and Equanil and Librium. ;)

Actually, legalizing drugs currently illegal would change many things, just as making them illegal changed a lot 100 years ago.

Just as making alcoholic beverages illegal in the last century changed many things for the worse, and repealing that prohibition changed things for the better, the same general process would happen with other drugs.

I doubt they would change anything for the worse, is what I should have said. "What a drag it is getting old."

The punishment should fit the crime.

Selling people illegal poisons that kill them should be a capital crime.

Then you advocate for the criminalization of selling alcohol and tobacco?
