So the war on narcatics is leading us to the death penalty….oiy
With everything going on with Mueller and the specail council it should be a surprise that we get another mind blowing plan to save America which I mean lord Trump probably didnt even tells his advisors about this before going public with it.
So apparently to fix the problem of high opioid use in the country to to just kill the higher ups…well first it was just the drug dealers themselves anyone who sold drugs then it got revised to the higher up members in the drug game. Either way apparently execution is our way out of addiction. The president says the punishment of trafficing and selling large amounts of opioids doesnt fit the crime.
To even justify this more aparently Trump claims one drug deals cills around 2000 people so the death penalty is a fit punishment. I sigh not because i dont think there is a problem because there is but bring on the death penalty for dealing these drugs would be throwing more glass on a broken table.
Lets look at our death penalty system as it is. Many states have haulted execution has lethal injection does show signs more and more of being cruel and unusual in many ways. The drug companys have even stopped producing this three drugs that most commonly use. We got Oklahoma who is going to experiment with nitrogen gas….good luck there. And we are left with the obvious point that most people on death row never see an execution due to our lengthy appeals process.
Then lets address the fact that this could get wildly out of control. Starting with who we think are the front runners trafficing the drugs but then all of a sudden any drug deal on the street they're next, and then it wont be just for opioids we would be opening up a door for basically any drug dealer small or big peddling vicodin or weed. Itll be interesting to see that for every drug dealer you kill a new one pops right back up. And hey what about those doctors that precribe opioids what if the government feels they may be giving out too much do we kill them too?
This is a big problem and the solution is not to just start killing everyone involved. Especailly since America is in a sort of limbo concerning a just method of execution. AFter the drug dealers whose next dealing small amounts can get you a misdemeanor if you have a good lawyer so what other crimes and problems will be solved by just killing them off. DUI? Robbery? You tell me.
