Headlines, on most any given week -
"A senior member of a Mexican drug cartel has been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the murders of 17 people at a rehab centre, reports say."
"The authorities in the Mexican border city of Tijuana have found 16 bodies in 24 hours, in what police believe is part of a wave of drug-related murders."
"An ultra-violent drug cartel has launched a ferocious campaign against the Mexican government, torturing and killing 12 federal agents before piling their bodies by the side of a road."
"The family of a Mexican Marine killed in action were murdered in their home a few hours after his funeral in retaliation for the death of the drug lord Arturo Beltran Leyva."
What do ALL these stories have in common? DRUGS! WHO pays for the DRUGS? WHO helps fuel that drug money, to pay those who commit such acts? Far too damn many Americans!
And don't give me some B.S. about legalizing drugs will solve the friggin problem! EVERY American, who buys and/or uses, CONTRIBUTES to these extremely violent acts.
Just a little snort at a party? Maybe just a toke with a friend who has some "good stuff"? Having a little to mellow out from a hard day at work?
GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! If that is YOU, then YOU contribute to the murdering Cartels and their hired guns, no matter where they are. It's just not Mexicans who are dying either. Some mule/dealer/what ever, killed an Arizona rancher, who has been giving water to thirsty illegals! THIS is what the drug trade brings.
THE answer, at least in a large part, is for Americans to suck it up and STOP buying and using illegal drugs. Just Say No, should have been taken seriously. And I am sick and tired of the stupid ass dopers in THIS country, who excuse their own ILLEGAL drug use. And California....I can't even go there. What a bunch of LOSERS!
