[...] Just over 50% are drug prisoners, mostly for reefer. (During alcohol Prohibition, that percentage rose to 75%.) The percentage convicted of moral, consensual and public order “crimes” designated as victimless is 86% of the total prison population. [...]

The main reason for the many killing in Mexico is straight attributable for the War on Medications. Mainly because they are illegal, those people trafficking in medicines are needed to be ruthless so as to be in organization. For an apt analogy, I only should issue on the rise of arranged criminal offense in america during the nineteen twenties with Prohibition. Had been medications to become legalized, violence could well be much less needed for suppliers to receive product set up to meet the needs in the market place. At the same time, costs would go down as a result of a taken off hazard into the suppliers since the need to make a ton of gain promptly in a very hazardous scenario might be absent.

Of course the state considers itself to be a victim, which is logically preposterous.

The state doesn’t have legitimate standing to claim itself as a victim. The state can only get away with making such proclamations because it has the guns to impose itself through threat of force. In a private court, an unrelated third party claiming damages would be laughed right out of the courtroom. It is incumbent upon the victim to prove damages.

Ah, but you missed something. The STATE is the victim of drug offenses. A local judge I practice in front of will not accept any plea agreement unless the victim agrees with the plea agreement. The Judge considers the arresting officer to be the victim in a drug crime.

In fact, the State is considered the victim in all crimes – you’ll note that the caption of criminal cases is “State v. Smith”, not “Victim Name v. Smith”.

Ridiculous, but the State has to come up with something to justify its behavior.

wow even after a year this article is still being pushed by this rag. So which of you superior intellects wants to visit the hospital of the baby born to a mom on drugs? Or the family at the grave of the kid killed by drug violence? But what’s the harm of watching some child porn, right? After all just because your money you paid for the privilege of seeing it didn’t really finance the next episode did it? And we all know if we stopped putting drunk drivers behind bars they would sober up before they kill your cousin, right?

So let’s all get together and go to one of you honorable people house and pee in the yard for a few weeks. After all grass ain’t a real people are it?

Oh and what happens when your 17 year old daughter gets knocked up by the man of her dreams, a 50 year old father of 10 kids? She signed the consent form didn’t she?

All these are victimless crimes by someone’s definition. So where is the harm?

I say all drugs are bad. You say I am a prude. You say ‘soft drugs’ like marijuana are Ok by meth is bad. Your aunt betsy says you are the prude. So who gets to make the call????

If I kill a guy who has cancer is that not a victimless crime? He was going to die anyway and now that he’s dead how can he be a victim? He don’t care no more!

Most of you people are just a bunch of NIMBY’s. But watch what happens when your BY is invaded. If you own two TV’s and one is stolen is that not a victimless crime? You can only watch one at a time so therefor you are being selfish to own more than what you need and it is the right of those without to get their fair share. So now we can let all the robbers out of jail also. Not to mention bank robbers get out also since your money was protected by the federal insurance program. So who was the victim?
Libertarians are like lambs in a cage. You rant at the shepard for making you stay there and tell him to open the gate and let you come and go as you want. But then when the wolf comes you cry like babies wanting him to come back and save you. Not the others just you.

America’s industrial/manufacturing base is dying a slow & agonizing death. As a substitute we have the military industrial & more recently the prison industrial complex. The later can survive only via a never ending supply of tax dollars & “prison fodder”. There are certain politicians who actually believe that “prison” is w way out of recession. Hiring more prison guards, parole officers, police, lawyers, building new prisons (construction job), collecting fines, etc, all decreases unemployment. That is just “make work”. Using/wasting our taxes to to fund the prison industrial complex is just giving people work, for work’s sake. It doesn’t accomplish anything, other than misdirecting much needed funds & creating a police state. We have the means & the power defeat the prison industrial complex via “jury nullification”. People should be educated about it. The war on drugs is a crime against humanity, and act of terrorism and a war against the American people. If a coalition/political party was formed for the purpose of automatically finding innocent any “drug offender” (when members are assigned to jury duty), we could peacefully win the war on drugs.
