Maybe we should just offer a one way ticket to anyone who desires to go to Swain's Island, where all the fentanyl and other hard drugs they like will be provided with pharmaceutical grade purity. Anyone caught performing property or other crime with an identifiable 3rd party victim will be offered the choice to serve their term in California or a one way ticket to Fentanyl town on Swain's Island where they can get high to their heart's content.

- notch898a 4y agoWhat if my child hits a rough patch and becomes the victim of a drug user? So much the better if that drug user instead chose voluntarily to enjoy all the drugs they like on Swain's Island.
- eurasiantiger 4y agoNice stereotype.
- notch898a 4y agoCrickets from you regarding the whole premise here that relies on my counterparty's "stereotype" that a drug user will choose "inevitable death" when able to dose themselves with clean pharmaceutical grade drugs without cost. At least I didn't make it a personal comment about the individual inclination of the counterparty's children like they did about mine. I reject your use of the word "stereotype" here but if it applies it is clear you're using it with extreme prejudice. Although it is kind of hilarious to see essentially don't stereotype drug users, who will all kill themselves with drugs if given the chance. Which of course is a position that is neatly and compactly contradictory.
- eurasiantiger 4y agoI never wrote or implied any of that.
- giraffe_lady 4y agoLove to see that straightforwardly eliminationist rhetoric on "hacker" "news." We are all so smart contrarian and cool you can tell because we tolerate even endorse this sort of thing as long as you keep a calm tone.
- notch898a 4y agoI'm merely advocating these individuals be given their own territory where they can pursue their dream with freedom and excellent knowledge of the content of their drugs, free from threat of arrest for possession or the irregularities of the unknown black market stomped on cocktails.
- mistrial9 4y agoremarkably, there is a large and prolonged historical project that fits this description very well ! It was the exiles of France, under Catholic approval, sent to the swampy exile of the Atlantic Coast of South America.. (near modern Guyana I think) This happened just after the Napoleonic Wars (?) and lasted a very long time, with many many thousands sent away. The move Papillon is based on the story of a man that survived it, as I recall. If you watch the movie, please tell others about it! "Papillon is a 2017 drama film directed by Michael Noer that tells the story of French convict Henri Charrière (Charlie Hunnam), nicknamed Papillon ("butterfly"), who was falsely imprisoned in the notorious Devil's Island penal colony and escaped in 1941 with the help of convicted counterfeiter Louis Dega (Rami Malek). Additionally, Papillon is a 1973 epic historical drama prison film directed by Franklin J. Schaffner and based on Henri Charrière’s 1969 autobiography"
