Again, here is the part of my post that you failed to quote. You blame the cops, I blame the drug traffickers.
I'm trying to interpret your explanation in a way that makes sense to me. The way your statement reads, it sounds to me like you are saying that these strikes are currently occurring in a legal grey area and that a court ruling is needed to clarify if the fall within the bounds of the law, or outside of those bounds. In other words that the legality is currently undefined and requires further judicial clarification before anyone can say if it is legal or not.
Thanks for clarifying. I’m not an expert on international law but from what I read so far the power to stop Trump rests with the US courts and congress so not sure if even an international law exists addressing these actions. Please correct me if am wrong.
I agree but I think that the drug problem is a bit more problematic than you suggest. I know of several people in my family and families of my friends that have either died because of drugs or have drugs destroyed their lives so I don’t particularly have much compassion for those involved in the drug trade.
Oh, the whole thing is horrific I grant you. That is part of why I think we should change our tactics to something that reduces the difficulties of addiction rather then increase it.
Emotional hyperbole because you discovered that you did not know where and when Miranda rights apply?
I do not think you follow. What part of drug cartels being designated as international terrorists while we are fighting a Global War on Terror do you not understand? They are no different than as if a boat full of ISIS fighters were on a boat full of explosives. Your defense of drug thugs, gangsters, and cartel members is why the democratic party is politically doomed.
Like reducing supply by blowing up narco-terrorist drug boats on open water?
No, that makes the problem worse if you do not reduce the demand. If you reduce the supply then you end both increasing cost at the same time you reduce purity and reliability. A large part of the issue with fentanyl is that you need a specific dosage to be safe and if it has spikes or impurities it becomes more dangerous.
Your question was how many times should we keep treating addicts, once, twice or what? My answer remains as many times as it takes.
Perhaps you prefer Brian Kilmeade's solution of involuntary injection, just kill 'em?
You have not convinced me of that. You twisted it from "the addict is harming himself" to "well, what if he were doing something entirely different that did directly harm someone else?" - talk about bad arguments!
What is this obsession you have with me being beaten?
That's an overly broad assertion. Can this addiction be managed? Is it harming anyone other than the addict? The answer will vary depending on the particulars.
Ah, rhetorical question that is not meant to be answered seriously.
Murdering without a trial or due process? So-called smugglers who may not even be heading to our country, just blast them with a missile? Even though it has only killed us because we sought it out , paid good money for it and voluntarily took it? How is this justice?
You didnt watch the video Hazelpoli posted did you. It outlines a legal case for Trump doing this.
If you cant understand the example as written then I can't explain it it any clearer. You are entitled to your opinion on how many times. But you can't use scripture to support that. It doesn't not apply.
Obviously I don't since I said we should help them. Why would you say such a thing?
I think you get the point, but just want to be argumentative.
Yes it absolutely harms others. Do you need an example?
No I want an answer. Let me clarify. Do you seriously believe that no one but the addict is harmed by the drug trade?
I don't believe its murder.
Its always justice to kill those who's actions are deliberately built to cause death of others.
Depends on the law. This isn't the only case where this true. A boat load of terrorists with a dirty bomb deserve to be summarily destroyed. An airplane on its way from a foreign country to crash into downtown New York would be another example, and it would have innocents on board.
Correct. Thats immediate self defense.
Totally wrong. If someone is suspected of having drugs in their vehicle they are not an immediate threat like an incoming bomb is. And so interdiction and criminal prosecution is how justice is supposed to look in the Christian west. Not summary execution.
