The occasional tragedy is bad, but the benefit of getting users and others who are usually violent offenders off the street. Saves far more lives in the end.

If the illegal drug users would stop using their dam drugs none of this would be needed.

The drug war exists because of two incompatible groups: those who want to use drugs recreationally, and those who want drug users punished by the state. Your argument is that if the first group would give in the WOD would end. That's true, but guess what: it's also true for the second. So by your own logic supporters of the WOD bear just as much responsibility for this tragedy as drug users.

"We had to destroy the village in order to save it."

You cheer this woman's death as collateral damage? That's low even for you.
