How far do you think a parent should allowed to go to protect his children from drug dealers?

Again, would you give a parent license to kill a drug dealer who sold drugs to his child? Or would you have the state punish a parent who did so?

How far do you think a parent should allowed to go to protect his children from drug dealers?

As far as they need to. The laws regarding this are fairly clear.

Again, would you give a parent license to kill a drug dealer who sold drugs to his child? Or would you have the state punish a parent who did so?

I wouldn't generalize situations like this, I'd look at the facts. If someone was protecting their child from a physical threat, I'd imagine a jury would take that into consideration and do the right thing.

All of your questions would be irrelevant if all drugs were treated the way alcohol is; licensed dealers have real motivation not to sell to underaged kids, whereas the current status quo gives no encouragement for dealers to check IDs.
