This little fellow was burned by a flash-bang grenade during a drug raid in which no drugs were found.
He's scarred for life and your buddies got away with it.
Right on, Ken.
I was a drug warrior until I saw the state of Texas cracking down on pain patients for opiate use. As they crowed their success with the WOD and killing ‘pill mills’ I watched the rate of suicide go UP for people with chronic pain. I was living in TX at the time (with a broken back). I did have a conversation with my pain doc and asked him about this relationship.
He told me that the gov’t had no interest in tracking suicides among the cohort with chronic pain because it would interfere with the WOD.
Then I started looking at the civil rights aspects. Civil forfeiture is the single most unconstitutional abuse that our gov’t commits, yet the drug warriors do not care.
THEN I realized that the WOD was responsible for so many people being murdered and injured by our gov’t (like this little boy) and that’s when I stopped.
ANYTHING that gives our gov’t permission to murder, disable, rob, and incarcerate it’s own citizens like the WOD does is unAmerican and should be fought.
What a vile and disgusting LIBERAL tactic for pushing emotional bullshit into a discussion. You want to pull that sh*t? Do you have any idea how much drug addiction horror can be illustrated by photographs?
And how dare you suggest that anyone supports such injuries as part of their opposition to drugs? Likewise, to completely ignore the fact that it was an ACCIDENT and was in no way deliberately intended by anyone, is just about the bottom pit of the scum bag arguing techniques.
So you want to play it that way, do you? You want to see HORROR because of drug abuse and addiction, and are YOU going to accept responsibility for it because YOU believe people have a right to do drugs?
I'll take responsibility for that poor injured child when *YOU* take responsibility for the millions dead and disabled because of drug addiction. You want to put horror shoes on each other? Well yours are going to be a hell of a lot bigger to fill than are mine.
Here is one YOU are responsible for.
And here's another:
And those aren't even the worst. You've got one example? I've got thousands. I can keep this going forever.
