thats bullshitI knew of a white collar criminal who embezzled $4.5 million and lost it all at the casinos in Vegas.It always pisses me off how a guy with an ounce of weed gets more prison time than the bankers that purposefully crashed our economy and screwed over thousands and thousands of people..it also stops the criminalization of thousands of citizens who are otherwise harmless and law abiding. (disproportionately minorities of course)If the black market diminished, why wouldn't crime go down?On one hand, the war on drugs has been an abysmal failure, and an expensive one, at that. Enforcement of this so called war has fallen mostly on minority shoulders, even though non minorities are statistically more likely to be cannabis users.
It's just a fact hood rats are more violent and kill people over money, or tennis shoes, or just for fun, so you'll just have to accept reality as it is.
On the other hand, is it correct to just surrender to the issue of drug abuse, merely because it seems to be unenforceable with the tools we currently have at hand?
The 'libertoons' are always telling us stuff like 'legalizing it will reduce crime n stuff', but it's doubtful, and for some reason they think it's not the same as just legalizing rape, robbery, murder, and the like, even though legalizing all that would certainly reduce crime if it were legalized, too.
Are criminals out there killing people over black market liquor?
If weed was legal and not taxed to high heaven, what incentive would the cartels have to ship stuff over here?
When caught he was sentenced to 5 years and served 1 1/2 years of it.
