Comments on Winning the War on Drugs

GO TROY! I used to live near there, and frankly I'm surprised they're busting drug dealers. The local economy is so in the shitter they should be promoting anyone who manages to sell anything.

It's not a drug bust.

It's an attempt to seize citizens' assets to use to fund the police force.

Why do you think they do the raids?

They get to keep the house, the car, all the assets of the "suspected" criminal under our drug crime laws.

And if they break into your house mistakenly - you have to pay to repair it - not them.

You can't conclude that she's not a drug dealer even though she was released and not charged. That's what the guy said. Guilty until proven innocent? No, just guilty no matter what.

These cops belong in jail.

That was special...

Wait. If I am innocent, there is no laws being broken and a cop kicks down my door and throws a flash bang grenade in my living room, I have to pay to get my door fixed?

Now see, if this home owner had just exercised her Second Amendment right to secure her person and posessions from unreasonable search and seizure, we'd have a very different story here, namely, a couple of cops shot, and most likely a dead home owner.

But, of course, she was probably just another tree-hugging, gun-hating librul, who not only somehow managed to miraculously survive this ordeal, but who will now undoubtedly clog the court system with yet another frivolous law suit at the expense of all good, gun-owning, God-fearing, tax-paying Amurkins.

There oughta be a law I tells ya'.

No, @5, the cops will fix and paint your door. They won't give you your hearing back, or your normal heart rate, though.

See, the neat thing is, if you think your straightlaced neighbor is narking on you, you just report THEM as drug dealers and let the cops do your violent intimidation work for you.

As a Linux Firefox user, I must say the SLOG is the most painful site I regularly visit due to the excessive use of (Flash?) animation. Every time I consider visiting I ask myself whether its worth the hassle. A point to consider for your webadmin.

Morons. You shoot out the door hinges, not the lock, then toss in a flash-bang. It's in the Manual.

And Firefox users aren't the only ones complaining about all the Flash.

Firefox users who've installed Flashblock don't complain about the Flash.
