Another victim of the War on Drugs. Have we won yet?

Another victim of the War on Literacy. Looks like the illiterates won.

As the plainclothes Atlanta police officers approached the house about 7 p.m., a woman inside started shooting, striking each of them, said Officer Joe Cobb, a police spokesman. One was hit in the arm, another in a thigh and the third in a shoulder.

They were shot when they approached the house, not when they entered the house.

Maybe, it's a toss-up, who are we to believe, the journalist or the niece?

"My aunt was in good health. I'm sure she panicked when they kicked that door down,"

Hmm, I guess we can't own land now either.

Also, I'd love to see your reaction to some strange men with guns approaching your house in the middle of the night.

Quote from the Atlanta-Journal Constitution in the other thread on this story: "92-year-old woman was killed after she shot three Atlanta narcotics officers Tuesday night when they broke down the front door of her home trying to serve a search warrant, police said."

The article in the Atlanta paper reporting this starts with this lead: 92-year-old woman was killed after she shot three Atlanta narcotics officers Tuesday night when they broke down the front door of her home trying to serve a search warrant, police said.

The SPI is not famous for its great reporting. Even among NW newspapers.

The police wouldn't have been there AT her house without the INSANE war on drugs.

The war on drugs is a colossal failure and a bad joke and great waste of money!
