And, we all know that good, high profile, successful, conservative folks who shape opinion would never, ever abuse oxycontin!

Right..........

Again, there’s nothing to sue over. She made a deal with the cops, and got murdered.

It happens... What are the cops supposed to do, give drug user/dealers ninja training for this stuff?

I’m sure she signed all sorts of waivers, so oh well..

But no conviction so technically she did no crime

She was caught committing her crimes. She cut a deal to avoid conviction. Her choice.

YES. They will be liable for sending an untrained girl into an area she was not equipped to deal with. Watch and see.

Oh I see if you are “caught” doing a crime, that’s it, is it? Right to prison or a “deal” without a trial?

Did you wake up in another country today? Like Iran?

Not a chance in hell.. That would render the entire operation of informants for every situation, including terrorism, as illegal.

Wishful thinking on your part.

I got a pile of pain pills, and muscle relaxants in my bathroom, none up to Oxycontin, but some strong stuff. Its legal, available and I can abuse it any time I want, I don’t though. At the same rate, I can go and buy any amount of pot I want, I don’t, have no interest in it.

Now, a fine Stout or Lager, I’m there!

She was dealing Ecstasy, not Oxycontin. Or are you just a closet DUer surfacing to take gratuitous swipes at Rush?

Watch and see. I’m going to bed now.

Food for thought. The time is coming that the war on drugs will be put into the trash heap where it belongs, and people with attitudes like yours won’t be able to do anything about it. Count on it. Because most of us have had enough.

I’ve heard this ‘drugs will be legalized’ stuff for decades now. Not gonna happen, sorry.

No, that's not it. You can try to cut a deal. Like she did.

Look into the eyes of this 23 year old desperado, who was coaxed by some stupid law enforcement moron into going out and making weapons and drug buys for them, as a promise of *leniency*

They send out this young dummy, she gets blown away...All over some pot she had?

You think law enforcement comes away looking good here?

Some of the comments I've read here, such as yours, I would expect from some slacked jawed, toothless morons.

These defenders of the little angel seem to think the cops grabbed her off the street, found drugs, took her to the nearest crackhouse, and told them ‘HERE YOU GO’.

Reality is so far removed from these people it’s hard to believe.
