Federal Sentencing Guidelines are in play here, not “Ramos & Compean got ten years waah” guidelines.

The failed war on some drugs is a farce.

Oh I very well know what you mean.

In my area (the Midwest) we have killing after killing, hijacking after hijacking, etc. (in fact a man was shot in the neck just this past weekend and lay in a stairwell while neighbors who heard him cry out and other passersby merely went on about their business.)

What do the "African-American leaders" do, why they hold "prayer vigils" and erect signs stating "stop the hate" and discuss how awful it is (I suppose that they think that those in the suburbs, no matter how much we care, will change their community.) Do they think that it is any of us who are killing their children or hijacking cars in their neighborhoods?

Meanwhile black "Preachers" continue to preach "racial tolerance" while their own members young girls get raped on a regular basis at 9 or younger as a "rite of passage" for black men.

It will end with the War on Sin.

Well what is it? You get put in jail when you shoot them. And you get put in jail when you help them. Mr. President what the hell do you want here?

[SFC Chromey]

Wow, I guess you are damned if you do your job, and damned if you don’t!

What a crazy screwed up world we live in.

I think there were four counts against one and three against the other...... One article I read indicated 10 yrs to life for conviction..... We’ll see what the FSGs prescribe I’m sure as this thing gets more exposure.

Just two days ago there was another bust of 15 Chicago cops protecting drug dealers. And this is just a tiny tip of the iceberg. When you can produce something for $100 and sell it for $100K, nothing will ever stem the tide.

15 officers caught in FBI drug sting

As long as the drug war is there, this will happen and they will catch only a minute portion of the actual corruption.

When you can produce something for $100 and sell it for $100K, nothing will ever stem the tide.

As long as there are drug laws, there will be a market for illegal drugs. As long as there is a market for illegal drugs, there will be organized crime working to make a buck at it. As long as there is organized crime, there will be police organizations formed to fight that crime. As long as there are drug laws, a lot of people have jobs, whether illegal or legal, and society, which will always have drug users regardless of the presence or absence of laws, will have resources poured down the sewer to keep the whole thing going.

[Does so]

"...how many "dirty" border agents, "dirty" government workers, "dirty" government agents, including "elected officials" who turn their back on illegal immigration and the drug culture and violence are "Hispanic..."

I watched Miami turn especially crooked—not so much after Castro came to power—but when officials who spoke Spanish facilitated the importation of cocaine from Spanish-speaking countries. (Cocaine in particular).

Many of those officials had Miami streets named after them, were indicted, then the streets were renamed after another crook who was indicted, etc.

Our government was intended for those of a stronger moral fiber than those that have arrived through other exigencies.

I should add that I can't tell you how many have become lawyers!

[zerosix]

All you say is true. I was saddened when last in Miami (what used to be a truly great metropolitan area). Some of the once pristine neighborhoods now look like slums and other parts resemble a trashy Mexican Los Vegas, without the “glamour" of the underworld strip.

And you STILL wonder why no one takes any thing you say seriously....

[1rudeboy]

Judging from some of the comments on this thread, you are STILL incorrect.

The War on Drugs is a failure. It will never end.

It obviously wasn't designed to end...
