[Hugh the Scot]

Emote all you like, FReind, but the FACTS remain.

Since Nixon declared a “war on drugs” around 1971, over $1T USD has been spent in that effort. $15.6 Billion in 2016. This is in the public record, not “my opinion”.

In the short 10 years between 2003 and 2013, over 100 police officers were killed in WOD related actions. Again, PUBLIC RECORD.

Around $450B USD per year is expended housing WOD criminals in this country. (Public Record)

Comprehensive Crime Control act of 1984. Greatly expanded “Criminal Asset Forfeiture”. (Government Police Powers)
— Simply a fact, without regard to your feels.

If you’d like to take exception to anything else I’ve posted, come equipped with facts and data or move on to some other poster who’s willing to entertain your nonsensical sputtering.

Nothing brings out the neurotic antiquists and imbeciles at FR like the pot threads....nothing. It's truly bizarre - death wishes, the works.

Don't bother with facts. Irrelevant.

Those statements might be true, but they do not however support your conclusions. We spent 21 trillion on the War on Poverty since then, and it has a lot more to do with the increase in drugs and crime than does the "war on drugs."

In the short 10 years between 2003 and 2013, over 100 police officers were killed in WOD related actions. Again, PUBLIC RECORD.

And again, not proof of your conclusions.

"Facts" which do not actually prove your case are a form of fallacy argument. Yes, your facts might be true, but that doesn't make your assertion true.
