DRUG DEALERS ARE MINDING THEIR OWN BUSINESS!!!
It's quite simple -
DRUGS - private property
DEALING - engaging in civilized free-trade capitalist commerce between consenting adults
DRUG DEALING, by definition, is a VICTIMLESS CRIME. The Morality Police should mind their own fucking business. This was once a free country!
Now if someone sells something dangerous to a kid, that's a special case. But you arent talking about that.
If someone engages in violence alongside another harmless enterprise, then fine - bust them for that violence, not the enterprise.
But there are plenty of "drug dealers" - aka INDEPENDENT BUSINESSMEN - who are not interested, and wish to avoid, violence. They are honest people just trying to make an honest living in commerce.
This bullshit witch hunt, because that's what it is a fucking morality crusade, has no place in a free society.
Prohibition failed in the 20s. It fails again today. It invited violence and thuggery in the 20s, and it invited it back in the 80s. Prohibition persecuted innocent people in the 20s, and it does so again today.
End the Drug War now, and just like ending Prohibition in the 20s, the street violence will end.
ALL the violence - that of SOME "drug dealers", and that of the far more violent COPS who are attacking innocent independent businessmen.

Disregard previous rant - it made sense, until some editor deleted the comment to which it was a reply. With THAT comment gone, mine seems entirely irrelevant (making me look like some tunnel-visioned fanatic, thank you very much).
