Richard commented on Greater Boston on 05.02.12
Jared Will you please stop allowing these substance abuse experts, drug fighters and other warmongering illegalizers to go unchallenged? The several hundred million honest, decent human beings who have been declared criminals by U.S. drug laws are NOT "addicts", "junkies", "users", "pushers", "traffickers" or other subhuman creatures who need to be cleansed from society or forced into "treatment". In fact, they are no more inferior to the selfproclaimed, "drugfree" supremacists than the Jews were inferior to the National Socialists. Has anyone that you have interviewed ever heard of Al Capone and Elliot Ness? Do they know what happened when misguided fascist thugs were allowed to illegalize the drug alcohol and send armies of government gangs to attack millions of alcohol consumers, producers, and dealers? I will tell you. That violent and criminal intervention into the free market produced an equally violent and criminal black market. The result of treating millions of innocent people as criminals produced injustice, violence, and crime.

On Monday night, South Boston residents packed a meeting with city officials, voicing their concerns about the prevalence of drug abuse in their community. The meeting came two weeks after an elderly woman was murdered, allegedly stabbed by a drug addict during a home invasion.
