America, what a country.  We use racial profiling to push kids into educations
they are unable to absorb, then we dumb down the curricula for them so that
they may graduate into society, applying for jobs they are unqualified to perform.
A lucky few will be racially profiled again into usually public service jobs they hate
because their obvious unsuitability is a resentment magnet for those around them.
And these are the cream of that racial crop, the rest content to either do nothing,
or live a life of crime. What a country.

“Outside the needle exchange there is a more-or-less open drug market. Dozens of users and dealers cut deals unmolested by police. Last year a crack-down on heroin users in the notorious Nygaards Park in the center of town drove them into the tourist-heavy city-center. Straxhuset leader Hugo Torjussen says the unofficial policy is to allow them to congregate here instead. The proximity of health professionals makes it safer in case of overdose, and the new local government has cut through political deadlock to sanction a safe injecting room for users to shoot up their own gear inside.”

Funny how the city-center folks never want a needle exchange in THEIR neighborhood.
