Using someone as a human shield puts them at risk; how do pro-pot legalizers put medical patients at risk?

I answered it.

That is a clear lie

Uh no it is not. The premise of a human shield is too use an innocent person to further your political goals.

And the largest part of what makes the "human shield" strategy as practiced on the battlefield so repugnant is that innocents are put at risk---which point you have yet to address rather than squirm away from.

Actually some of the human shields in Iraq are there voluntarily.

But like I stated many times before the concept of a human shield is a political one.

In your case you shield yourself behind innocent sick humans to promote your ultimate political goal of making the drug culture validated.

Actually, the innocents are put at risk BY THE WAR ON AMERICANS called a war on some drugs. They deny or restrict the use of certain drugs/medications because someone, somewhere might use it for recreation. If ANYONE is using the sick as human shields it is, by definition, the DRUG WARRIORS. Who, by the way, are the human scum who never had what it takes to become REAL policemen... They are our equivalent of Uday's feyadeen stormtroopers. I only wonder when they will feel the "need" to use chemical or bio weapons in their holy quest...
