You get a gun because you know 100% no one in your house has any mental problems and a gun would eradicate the odds of you being one of the 86 US break-in homicides that happen annually in a year.

I guess I'm confused. Are you saying that mentally ill house members are just your own personal deterrent?

Also, resisting arrest is what a real man does. Certainly, do not comply and then file suit against the police for wrongful arrest. That's not "keeping it real". You have to show the man that you're hardcore, a prince among men, and the wrong person to fornicate with. You would be scorned by the people, and bullied (as in, being attacked on sight) for being weak if you just sued the cops. Your mother can do that for you when you're dead.

Careful, you might get modded for racism.

Also, the guy had a knife. No jury will convict the officer.

Is that what Alex Jones told you?

Democrats are constantly advocating for things like open borders and amnesty for illegals. They are also constantly advocating for things like free food, housing, healthcare, education, etc. It's not really hard to see.

Incidentally, things like open borders are exactly why things like higher minimum wage, free healthcare, and free education will never happen.

Maybe we should stabilize.

The problem here is that by "stabilize" you mean go back to the same broken, unsustainable system that's gotten us to this point. Things need to change in a way that benefits us in the long term, not the short term.

When asking these questions, are the answers assuredly correct? I.E. Is the person answering them all-knowing?

I would ask if it would get me sent to prison, if it would result in my wife leaving me, and if it would be something I'd find too physically disgusting to do. I could live pretty comfortably for the rest of my life on 1.25 million dollars.

Like come on man, when you see something broken, you fix it, not just uproot yourself and go somewhere else.

Probably due to disparities in what people define as broken. Also disparities in where the problem is in something that is actually broken.

The debate on police shooting blacks is a prime example. Liberals tend to think that the police are racist and are shooting blacks for no reason or that they could put more effort into non-lethal means of getting people to be compliant, even if it means increased risk for the officer. Conservatives tend to think that blacks get shot because there are numerous statistics indicating they are much more likely on an individual basis to do things like shoot at police and that black culture glorifies exactly that. They also tend to think that an officer shouldn't have to unreasonably risk catching a bullet to the face just to rein in some criminal.

Why can't they just accept defeat instead of pulling some bullshit statement?

The same can easily be said of liberals though. Their go-to phrasing though is usually calling someone racist or heartless or sociopathic instead.

Seriously, how does this not happen way more often then it does?

I'm sure it does, but a lot of it is deterred by the fact that most people don't want to risk getting a theft charge on your record. It can bar you from a lot of good jobs.

That being said, having worked in a grocery store for years, I'd say your odds of getting away with shoplifting are 90% or more if you dress normally and don't get suspicious amounts of stuff. Even faking a list would likely get you off the radar of Loss Prevention.

The truth is that if it had been about black people, it would be just as wrong and the response should be the same as it is now.

Should be, yes. But you know damn well that she would have been fired at lightning speed had she been talking about blacks instead of whites. Instead she not only gets hired but the people who hired her defend her.

We live in a society where it's considered more acceptable to advocate for the death of all whites than it is to say things like black culture is toxic and that blacks bring a lot of problems upon themselves.

they have good lawyers that none of us could pay for with a year's salary.

That's a small part of it, but one major thing is that celebrities typically only get hit with possession charges. Most addicts build up a history of person crimes, such as trespass, theft, burglary, and unarmed robbery.

You aren't very familiar with the world, are you?

I am, as I actually do work that involves catching and prosecuting drug dealers. You very clearly get your knowledge of drug deals from Law and Order.

People tend to 'have a guy'

Sometimes, but that is comparatively rare. Most addicts get their fix from wherever they can. Their "dealer" usually isn't the same person for more than a minute amount of time. Addicts will often just approach other addicts and buy from them. You also have to remember that these people are literally frying their brains with these drugs, so their ability to remember and track their dealers is weak.

Sure, they are often small game......and get their stuff from a bigger fish. Who gets his stuff from a bigger fish,

Do you think drug dealing has some clearly defined hierarchy structure like a fucking Walmart or something? Not only do dealers intentionally make it secretive and confusing, but they also get caught, get shot, change areas, refuse to contact people who give them a bad vibe, etc. If it were so easy to track, they would. Not only would it prevent crime, but for the amount of money they could seize is reward enough for any agency. But it's not that simple, especially because it often involves crossing state and country lines, in tandem with all the other methods used by dealers and distributors to obscure themselves from law enforcement. You have a very simplistic, naive view of how this all works.

To think questioning users is somehow unconstitutional or immoral.....is pretty sad. Don't you guys care about all the victims of drug addiction out there? Apparently the media wants us to care about them. So why not start doing something about it?

What a shitty emotional appeal this is. You're being deliberately obtuse if you can't see why capturing and interrogating people at rehab is a stupid idea.

And make no mistake, I have no sympathy or care for addicts. If I had it my way, we'd just start shooting them after a few offenses.

People should be asking where Demi Lovato got her drugs from. Who was supplying her with the poison she almost overdosed on. Give the authorities a name or a number. Something. Anything. A starting point. Arrest those bigger fish.

Do you really think Demi Lovato actually handles getting her drugs herself? Like she just fucking strolls on down to Tony Montana's mansion and says "1 heroin please, my good man!"?

She probably gets it from someone who she doesn't really know, who also gets it from someone who they don't really know, who also gets it from someone they don't really know. All of which are going to be tight-lipped and impossible to find in the near future because of Demi Lovato being a high profile celebrity.

And once more, where do we get the unlimited resources to chase what are basically ghosts, on top of all the other crimes that police are working to solve?

GreenKnight127 posted...

If I had done the same thing as her......I would have been in jail for 20 years or more.

I missed this gem earlier, but you are truly naive if you think you would even do 20 days in jail for what Lohan did.

Yes, they do know who their dealer is.

They usually don't though. Most addicts get what they can from wherever. Also, their "dealer" is usually someone selling small amounts with little to no connection to dealers with any sort of power or quantity of product.

They may only be able to give a shitty description and location, but it doesn't matter as at minimum it puts pressure on dealers (without knowing they were ratted out),

Again, their "dealer" is likely some fucking nobody who buys and sells in small amounts to get by. Addicts would much rather stay quiet and deal with the justice system rather than risk pissing off dealers because dealers will respond with real violence.

Because they know possession won't get them too bad you have to pin distribution on them to pressure them to surrender the bigger fish.

The bigger fish swim away long before any of the street level dealers would ever be able to give out good info. And low level dealers are unlikely to try to sell out the "big fish" because they will respond with violence. I'm not sure you understand that actual drug dealers have little qualms about killing or maiming people who cross them to send a message. One of the cases being prosecuted in one of the courts I work for involves 3 people picking up a guy who stole $800 from a street distributor, tazing him, and beating him with a hammer. The only reason he got out alive is because he was able to kick the driver of their vehicle in the face during the struggle and cause them to wreck. Addicts do not want to fuck with these people.

The US already arrests everybody on BS charges, that's why the prisons are full in the first place

I can't imagine being this delusional. Drug possession is one of the only charges people get arrested for that could reasonably be called BS. Most arrests are reasonably made, triply so for arrests that have a realistic chance of prison time. My data analyst buddy would kill me for not remembering the exact stats, but an overwhelming majority of prison-worthy arrests involve an actual confession, with the exception of robbery. Prisons are full because we foolishly decide to let the worst society has to offer live out the rest of their lifespan instead of simply executing them.

If prison capacity was really an issue, decriminalisation would happen, not harder policing

Decriminalize what? Possession almost never puts people in prison. Possession barely keeps people in jails most of the time.

These drugs need to be legalized and sold at a specialty store, the amount of good that could be done if this happened is astronomical.

Rasmoh posted...

Good chance that they don't know who the dealer is, where to find them, if they're an actual source or just a lone wolf selling stuff they bought from someone else. Not to mention threats of violence. Drug dealers hurt and kill people. People who just possess drugs have enough run-ins with the law to know that just possession isn't going to keep them locked up for very long, whereas they know drug dealers will literally kill people for stealing paltry amounts of money or even intangible things like disrespect.

And where do you propose we get the resources to hold all these addicts indefinitely while waiting for them to rat out their dealers? Jails and prisons are already booked to the limit with murderers, rapists, child molesters, batterers, money launderers, identity thieves, dealers who have gotten caught.

Will any of you morons arguing for treating users as dealers please address my post? Anyone?

Defense attorney is a harsh job to do. It's not for everyone.

I work for the DOJ in my state and I sort of sympathize with the attorneys. They are severely overworked, paid less than most lawyers, are viewed as bad guys in many ways and their own clients treat them like shit. Of course, most of their clients are guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt but still pissed that they're gonna have to do prison time, but still.

The worst part about the legal system though is the amount of time this shit can take. There's a murder case going on in one of the courts in my state that has been going through the process for over 3 years despite the fact that the guy is easily identified on camera committing the murder. It's insane.

In cases like that, attorneys are typically only there to ensure that the rights of the accused are not violated. Think of it as insurance against Appeals. Cases like the one you mentioned aren't ever "won" unless there's some major rights violation involved.
