No. He did it to himself, through his actions.
- TomMarius 8y agoHe's not there voluntarily, is he?
- s73v3r_ 8y agoHe is responsible for his own actions. No one forced him to become a drug kingpin.
- jMyles 8y agoThat's just not the point. Not the point at all. Forget this guy for a second. The real question here is: will this act (or generally, all of the actions taken by the state pursuant to enforcing prohibition) help anyone? Will it reduce death, disease, crime, misery, addiction?
- s73v3r_ 8y agoThat is entirely the point. This guy made a conscious decision to feel in drugs he knew we illegal and harmful. I have zero sympathy for him. He knew exactly what he was doing, and what the consequences were. He did this to himself
- jMyles 8y agoAs often is the case when debating with you, it's hard to understand the actual difference of viewpoint. It seems like you just value revenge and compliance over a functioning civil society. If you can't point to a tangible reduction in death, disease, misery, or addiction from these sorts of state actions, then I just don't see that you have a point to make at all.
- TomMarius 8y agoSo, if we go a bit to the extreme, the survivors of Nazi camps also did it to themselves, since everything was done according to German laws?
