In other news, the cartels have always received assistance from the U.S. government, who shares in the massive profits of the international drug trade in order to obtain funds for ops they can't present to congress.

Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure Al Queda didn't pioneer the practice of decapitation.

They call themselves Federal Police but they enforce coporate written laws?

The cartel is full of cruel people.. You don't think they wouldn't find another reason to be-head their enemies?

I'm sure they would, but do we have to hand them a lucrative black market to help them along? Most of their money comes from our insistence on criminalizing a popular non-toxic herb.

I am so tired of these crooks stealing our nation and selling their soul for greed........put them in a cage like you do us..............

how about the major drug companies in this country........they chemically synthesize all of the illegal drugs and sell them legally thanks to our bought and paid for congress........are they not crooks as well

marinol.......legal weed
mehtadone..........legal heroin
oxicotin...........legal cocaine

while putting 1.7 million poor mainly black children in a cage and destroying their future..... and even taken away their right to vote.....also wasting 100 billion a year ........enough to pay for health care for all .....all to protect the legal drug business and their greed......... their income approaching one trillion a year......paying doctors.......bribing the FDA........paying fines for stealing form us rather than being put in a cage where they belong

It all does seem rather obvious doen't it Fred. Now the big question is: for as far out of control as it is with the crime families and the elected officials and the powerful drug companies how in the world do we combat this problem?? I seriously cannot think of even one answer.

LOLOLOL - too funny - that has got to be the funniest liberal interpretation of drug criminals I have ever seen. Simple -don't sell drugs and you won't be put 'in a cage' nor destroy YOUR OWN future and have your right to vote taken away.
