Verses property crimes or crimes against

People

@Zuluzeit Exactly.

It incentivises it.

These are my problems with policing. It's the philosophy which drives it. Drug laws are an ancillary subject to me, not unimportant but more like an amplifier, not cause.

hmmm... maybe Rob should add a category, "general-law" for discussing everything non-specific in the legal realm.

Why should we put people in prison and fine them, take their fundamental rights in our system for being misguided? They're almost never harming other people with their drug issues.

@Bey I've talked to Faith about this.

We'll see how it goes.

Do you have anybody in your life who does drugs

Have you been exposed to people on drugs

@busillis yes and yes

@Zuluzeit The only reason no-knock raids basically came back was because of the war on drugs.

You don't believe that funding Rehabilitation rather than incarceration would be a good thing

It's a fundamental problem with the existing enforcement issues.

This was the entire purpose of the channel until Trump pre-claimed conditional rigging. Makes me dislike him even more. Didn't think that was possible.

The "War On ______" paradigm was created as a "cash cow" for the government with the intent that such a "war" will be neverending.

War on Drugs, War on Poverty, War on Terror, etc...

It was to fill privatized prisons when they concocted that billion dollar idea and joined ALEC.

i have the same view on the 2nd as if you do not know how to properly use, operate and secure a weapon you should not be able to own one. AKA darwin/God will work it out just fine in the end. we need not more regulations on any of it is all i am saying. Human Much?

I guess your new Jesus I'll take away all the pain make everything right in the world.

Two of those have led to terrible outcomes in the American system.

They will *always* exist in one form or another

War on terror? Everyone submitted their rights for 'security'.

Like the government was some sort of bloody mob boss.

It is insane think there are any differences between Democrats or Republicans

Both are owned and operated by wealthy business interest

I always refer to the political parties as different tenatacles on the same beast

Why is there not the will to enforce anti trust laws currently on the books

give me my 2nd i can take care of my own Security fine "GET OFF MY LAWN!"

For sure, I'm all for people to have access to their 2nd amendment rights.

Which is also another reason I fucking despise the war on drugs.

Gun laws *only* affect the Law abiding, *never* the criminal

Great, so the government gets to choose who does and doesn't have rights.

Platitudes

Are not action

For whatever reason.

Why should prior drug offenders have their rights revoked?

Even a reshaping of the rhetoric better than

Because they're 'criminals' in your mind?

Ruin their lives and make sure that they'll never become productive members of society
