Every once in a while something happens which brightly limns the contradictions of conservative thought: a few threads up from this one is one about three police officers watching a druggy drowm over a fifteen minute period. ALL the comments supported the police for good reasons, most said the druggy made a bad choice.

Yet here on this thread most of the comments are about doing violence to drug dealers... Who sell drugs to people who, in the above thread, have no value to society... Let'em drown.

So apparently there are two points to be made here; Drug dealers are good for society because they kill off unworthy parts of society, and two, once the druggies killed off, there sun be no more drug dealers. I merely make this observation because of the juxtaposition of the two treads.

Please do not juxtapose two treads.

You’ll throw a track.

I gathered on that thread that the general consensus was that the cops should not jump into a vine-filled river and risk getting tangled and drowning without the proper rescue equipment. I didn’t think people were in any way glad that the kid drowned.

I suppose maybe some did. But not most or all.

The debate was about whether cops were negligent on not entering the water. Which, without being there, is worthy of debate.

Fentanyl traffickers may as well be associated with assisted suicide and should be punished accordingly.

I don’t necessarily see a contradiction.
