Even if they're doing nothing to harm others?No. But things that are bad for society, like druggies, should be gone.
This is where typical conservatives lose me. They're really committed to the same idea that statist liberals are - namely, that government is there to shape society, to tell people how to live. I prefer a government that protects our rights, and otherwise stays out of the way. Leaves us free to create the kind of society we want, without resorting to coercion.
Nope. I didn't say that. Did I?And? So since there are some who aren't a threat to others & society, then we should overlook all of those who are? I think not.
You're comparing a druggie to a nuclear weapon? Heh.. no.You could give everyone a nuclear weapon, and most people wouldn't set it off. But the ones that do, are going to affect a LOT of people. Just like drugs & druggies. And since there are so many druggy criminals, then there's 100 X more victims.
You tell me. You're making some pretty extreme, and completely unsupported claims here. Most people who use drugs, like most people in general, don't harm others. We should deal with those who do, like we do with people in general who harm others, but dismissing people's rights based on your stereotypes is not good government.Well, the last time I checked there were probably millions of druggy criminals. Some are free in society. And some will soon be. How many victims does that make?
The LP doesn't oppose the justice system. We never harped about "defunding the police", and we're not anarchists. You would do well to re-examine some of the stereotypes you're leaning on here. They don't hold water.The LP is retarded in their opposition to the justice system.
We defend anyone who is being persecuted by government when they've done nothing wrong.BS, the LP defends the druggies every time y'all bring up legalizing drugs.
If they've victimized someone, they should never walk away from a conviction. Who is saying otherwise?Every POS that get's to walk away from a conviction, is a slap in the face to every victim he/she created.
Ok. I imagined it. What's that got to do with anything?Imagine, see the same guy who was on meth when he raped your daughter, free on the street in just 5 or 10 years? And high as a kite again.
