It’s a shame, because they were just turning their lives around.
Teens...
“One of the mothers said “my son did not anticipate the murderâ€.”
She’s digging out the band uniform pictures right now.
Just a couple of black yoots going about their bizness.
Their mamas say: “They are good boyz.”
JEEZUS! I don’t recall reading ‘bout these sort of problems in the early 20th century when all the jazz n!ggers were smoking the reefer and sleeping w/ all the white women.
Drugs, such as cocaine and morphine, were a staple in most doctor bags, pharmacies and medicine cabinets.
Problems didn’t start up until GOVT. Govt becoming the sugar daddy, handing out taxpayer $$ to those unwilling to learn/work for a living, instead only procreating and bitching about all the faults of the world except their own.
Problem: Govt. Pure, plain and simple.
Open season on defenseless whites. They get away with it too, because reparations.
If they’d only had jobs...
The use of illegal drugs in the early 20s was never like it is now. The estimated 200,000 cocaine addicts in the U.S. by 1902 is not nearly the levels of addiction today. And the cocaine in Coca-Cola was not the crack cocaine of today. In fact, the cocaine in the powder form, which has been thought of as relatively harmless, is not the crack cocaine you should be worried about.
What we should be also concerned about is the emergence of a heroin epidemic. Between 2002 and 2013, the rate of heroin-related overdose deaths nearly quadrupled. However the impact of heroin on society is huge. Illegal drugs cost our society approximately $110 billion each year. The greatest cost of drug abuse is paid in human lives, either lost directly to overdose, or through drug abuse-related diseases such as tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), hepatitis, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Each death affects families by the loss of parents and the pain of parents losing their offspring. Traffic accidents caused by drug-impaired drivers; street crime committed by addicts to support their addiction; and resources expended to apprehend, sentence, treat, and incarcerate drug abusers are the burdens borne by taxpayers year after year.
The effects of drugs were significant enough in our early history to cause prohibition of their use. Harrison Act was passed by Congress in 1914 to require that Cocaine be dispensed only with a doctor’s order. In 1924, the United States Congress banned the sale, importation and manufacture of heroin. Much of the prohibition was based upon hysteria based upon false information and racism against blacks. However, the effects of illegal drugs have been weighed by science and it is not good.

She doesn’t seem too horrified her child was involved in kidnapping, grand theft auto - both major felonies, besides accessory to murder.
Other articles indicate they cannot receive the death penalty. Max of life imprison.

They look older than 13 or 14 to me.....Tha’s because of all the free food and medical care you bein gibm them, foo.
As to your final (P), all without authority (OK, the importation thing, sure)....and see where that lawlessness has brought us; a Republic no more.
Sorry, I trust the ‘weight’ of science as much as I do those in govt; I trust your assertion of their veracity as the same (no offense). The FEDERAL govt has very few defined authorities; this NOT being one of ‘em.
Colorado and the rest are doing it correctly: acts of and by The People. They are again shown the failure of the notion of conscience through Law (they should have learned w/ the 18th...c’est la vie).
The FIRST question that should always be asked, “What/how/why/etc. can X be done w/out deprivation of Rights?”. We need to restore PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, not expand the Nanny State on what has been shown over and over and OVER to be an abject FAILURE.
You do trust the weight of facts, I hope. The cities of America are being destroyed by the Draino of illegal drugs. In my region of America, almost every lawless event is the result of minds rendered incapable of moral thinking because of illegal drug use. The choice is ours. Do we sit back and let this flood of drugs continue to cost society more damage? Or, do we stop it at its source? We have the technology to track the flow of illegal drugs into this country and we do not use it its full potential.
