For anyone who has ever watched their loved one slowly become an addicted monster who will seek to get high at any price and then die of an overdose, I can understand wanting to kill drug dealers.
For anyone who sees that illegal drugs kill about 150 people a day, more than people dying by guns, I can understand wanting to kill drug dealers.
For anyone who sees the lavish lives of drug cartels and the corruption they inflict on governments world wide, I can understand wanting to kill drug dealers.
For everyone else, they want to keep the revolving prison doors open, the borders unsecured as drugs come over, and a society that is so permissive that abusers are coddled and patched up and then sent back out to repeat their addiction until they are found dead. For these people they love the status quo.
