When Will U.S. Citizens Realize the Govt. Has NO INTEREST in Curbing Drug Violence?
Question by Divide and Conquer 2012: When will U.S. citizens realize the govt. has NO INTEREST in curbing drug violence?
If they did they wouldn’t continue to pursue the same tactics that failed during alcohol prohibition and continued to fail during the war on drugs and ARE CONTINUING TO FAIL IN STOPPING CARTEL VIOLENCE.
The demand for **illegal** drugs fuels the drug market. Competition over **illegal** profits fuels drug violence. VERY SIMPLE. If the drugs cease to be illegal, the groups selling them will cease to have a reason to fight over illegal profits. Also, the industry could be regulated to insure the safety of consumers. Not to mention the cartels are so wealthy they can BUY OFF the Mexican govt. (just like Al Capone did in Chicago during prohibition).
Mexico drug violence rises on border despite army
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090511/wl_n…
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (Reuters) – Killings between rival drug cartels are rising again in Mexico’s most violent city despite a massive army deployment that temporarily slashed the murder rate on the U.S. border.
Drug gangsters in Ciudad Juarez who used to chase enemies in flashy black jeeps have lowered their profile but are still killing each other as 10,000 troops and federal police patrol the city, across the border from El Paso, Texas.
“Criminals are taking a different approach, using pistols not assault weapons and driving around in small, old cars to reach their rivals, ditching their SUVs,” said army spokesman Enrique Torres.
The government says the army has cut drug murders by up to 80 percent since soldiers arrived in March — but gangs killed 12 people on May 1 in one of the bloodiest days this year.
The 231 drug murders recorded in Ciudad Juarez in February dropped to 64 in March, the army says. But the number crept up to 81 in April and is already over 30 for the first week of May, according to police and media tallies.
maxwell………..”There will still be an underground black market for the drugs that are significantly cheaper because they aren’t taxed.”
Notice how the cartels will be selling drugs at “significantly cheaper” prices MEANING they won’t be making nearly as much money. MEANING they can’t afford as many guns, bribes, etc.
