Are you trying to justify these actions? I hope you never have to bury a 16yr old kid who died because of punks like him selling stuff on the streets to buy themselfs a nice rolex.

@steve-walschot
And I truly, sincerely wish that you hadn't had to, either. I couldn't imagine the pain.
I'm not trying to justify any action, I'm simply saying that you need to look at these things in context. 13 year olds don't think about rolexes, you know.
Again, I in no way belittle your pain, please know that. I, too want to solve the conditions which led to his death. This is a systemic problem, and I hope that we're good enough to solve it. Personally, I don't think that prohibition ever will. It'll just lead to more stories like yours and @hustle-no-more's, and those are both surely tragic.
Do you blame the soldier who killed your son in a war in a faraway land? Or do you blame the ones who started the war? Maybe yourself for sending him away? Maybe the media for making you so blind to let your son go to war?
I have a 6 yr old son, and I would NEVER send him off to a war.
And even though I realize that the curcumstances aren't exactly similar, it's a war in both cases. The war on drugs was started by your politicians, and it's a war on it's own citizens. And in wars there are collateral damages.
If you want to make a change; end the war on drugs
I think I came up with the right words--
The "drug war" is the man against the world because the man knows there will always be people wanting to get high. Even animals do this. In today's system we have 13 year olds risking death selling crack/coke/smack to folks like the 16 year old in your life. First of all, in your grief, which you're totally entitled to, it's sensible to be angry. Fuck, I'd be angry Steve, I assure you.
....But anger is powerful. Anger can bring change sir and change is surely what we need. Right now, your anger is quite frankly misdirected. I'm not saying that dealers ever did your kid a favor, no sir. But realize that your kid, and @hustle-no-more's moms' kid...... they're both victims of the state. Look at legalization experiments, read, read, and read some more. You have within you the power to make meaningful and lasting change, but at the moment, you're raging at a pawn. $1-2k/day in profits on $30k in product is PAWN status. Who knows, maybe he becomes more "successful" in this rigged game. Maybe he even serves time. I don't know.
The people who orchestrate the whole kit and kaboodle-- especially for the often-lethal-power-drugs.... are very CLEARLY the CIA. Here are some links:
Please, please read these. Your anger is fully justified. Please focus it on those who wronged both your son and @hustle-no-more. They're literally evil, and deeply deserving of your wrath.
