Dallas Desperados

The police can’t find all the reports about the gangs when they assulted me badly and sending to ER. Now what should I do without those reports I have a little chance to get them arrested, the DA office said.

First, get your records from the hospital you went to. Second, take those to the police station and speak to a different officer than before. Also when you were assaulted, does anyone else have photos? remember seeing you messed up? How many people did you talk to? Tricky…where are you/ what city? If the police still can’t find the records (and by US law, all ER crime-related incidents MUST be reported to the police) Contact the chief of police, the newspapers, the TV stations and ask all of them how it could happen that your records be ‘lost’? Also ask how is it that these men weren’t arrested WHEN the incident happened? Make sure they all know you have contacted each of the others and that each one has all your details and is being asked the same question. Include the mayor of your town in that list. Email me and stay in touch. If your town is too corrupt, I will write them myself, and have others do so as well- just send me their addresses and/or emails. Make sure also that each of them know you have people in other towns aware of this, that they know you’re writing to each of them and that you’ll be reporting their responses. Fear is a big factor. It is being used against you…use it against them.

Curbing gang violence is now one of the top priorities for Britain’s leaders. But, for some, the effort will be in vain unless the government tackles an underlying culture of fear, as Laura Smith reports from London.

What are your personal thoughts?
Why do you think youth today turn to drugs and gangs?

We need to focus on social issues and the personal problems that kids face that make them want to turn to drugs and gangs in the first place. It is wrong to say gangs and drugs are completely to blame for corrupting the youth because usually the problem stems deeper than that. Focusing on social programs and increase in awareness is the only thing that is preventing the spread. Law enforcement has only a band aid effect.

What costs more in lives and money? Illegal drug use, or the law enforcement’s war on illegal drugs, all of the waring drug gangs and keeping people in prison who were convicted of drug crimes?

If the government controlled and taxed drugs like they do with alcohol would it cut down on all of the drug violence?

For the record, I don’t use illegal drugs.

(PART ONE) First off – I’ve broken the question down, hope you don’t mind, but its just so I can answer in a better way (imo), secondly I have been a drug user in my life, so you could argue that some of the things I say are biased.

Drug Use Vs The War on Drugs Vs The Legalisation of Drugs (in money and humanity)

This is a very open subject, so I’ll try to keep this in short forms and basic, it will never cover enough.

Drug Use – Humanity

Farmers, either growing for cash crops for the extra money, or growing under fear and intimidation
Trafficers, Often using people in desperate situations to move the product to the countries for sale, paying small amounts and using violence to make sure known goes missing, sometimes in the use of ‘drug mules’ (people who swallow condom filled drugs is one way, these can burst inside and kill) also if they come out during the trip will need to be reswallowed. Theres a great film called Maria Full Of Grace, which shows the trip of a mule.
Dealers, Working down from the higher levels to the lower levels, they are dealing for the sole reason of making money, most dealers are never users, they don’t really have an interest in the safety of the users. The higher up you move in the chain the nastier the people can get. Certainly not the people you want to mess about with. The odd friendly dealers out there, are people that buy bulk and sell some to pay for their own use. Those are rare though. In larger areas (cities) the market is greater, so as such is competition and then violence for the market share. Its all about the money.
Users, Depends on the drug and the rate they use. Most people that smoke pot, are generally just people who smoke to get high, most lead normal lifes that are within the law, and from all walks of life. Drugs like Speed and Cocaine can cause mood swings and aggressive behaviour, if the person is quick to anger normally they can be a real pain on cocaine. Again, like pot, most will use these drugs socially rather than habitually, most will work and will still live normal lifes. However some will not, but that can be said for anything, there are always exceptions. Increased use in both these to more habitual level and the ability to function in life becomes harder, as the use will mess up the lives and the need for money becomes more important, thus causing levels of petty crime. The highly addictive drugs like heroin and crack are a drain on society, functioning normally becomes very hard, and the need for cash and a fix becomes much greater, unemployment will be very high and crimes to fund the habit. Familys can be torn apart, and obviously deaths happen. Though part of this is also due to dodgy drugs, strong drugs on the market.

Overall the cost is on health care and police, which is funded by us. The only winners are the dealers, not the growers, users, society.

War On Drugs.

Prisons are full of both users and dealers. The question is should users (mainly pot) be prisoned for smoking. In the US 1 in 8 prisoners are cannabis related costing approx $1 billion a year, now the argument should a pot smoker be in jail (ignoring drug driving etc) when most people who smoke arent committing other crimes, are they really in need of imprisonment. Obviously dealers shouldnt be considered as pot poscession. It is a huge drain of resources.
The education of drug use is often confusing and misleading, America has a history problem with some early ‘shock’ films to scare people off (a lot of these have been loved by users for the comical value) and probably encouraged just as many to try drugs as to scare them off. However the truth is some people will try drugs, some people won’t, whilst Im not saying drug awareness shouldnt be taught, its still going to change peoples choices.
Police, both global and domestic spends a lot of money on the war on drugs. The dealers make so much money from them and because they don’t want to lose this income they will often be violent, the idea of killing someone to get away is not beyond them, as we have seen all too often on the news.
Drugs though will always come through and demand will remain. Drug use wont decline, the popularity of drugs may drop off, but another will rise.

The cost, is obviously on the police, and border control. Prisons add a large drain on society. However, drugs are kept illegal and the police are acting on it, thus attempting to keep it under control, but they wont succeed, prohibition created crime lords in the states during the 1930′s and could be looked at as an example of what happens when you do have alcohol as illegal and the crimes that stemmed from it. Whereas now we have alcohol related crimes, but which is worse – the amount of damage alcohol causes in society (addiction, drunk driving etc) or the amount of crime related from the illegal distribution of alcohol?

Sure they cause terror and destruction in their small poverty stricken neighborhoods. Like this MS 13. They go around stabbing innocent people in gangs of around 5 or more! Its like drop your knives and fight one on one you 5 foot coward! Also if you come to our United States to live a better life, do exactly that! Don’t go around causing terror. What do you think of these sub humans?

i would have to say ms 13 is one ,if not the toughest,and most violent gang in the u.s. next to la eme. and they dont only live or thrive in the hood they now tend to do major drug deals in rural areas and small towns. i do beleve they are the deffinition of evil but we can do nothing about it. they dont come here for a better life they come here to become more and more powerful.

This is a Detroit documentary that was made in the midst of the city trying to make a change. Good changes have been occuring, and the hope is that it will continue to change for the better. Stay strong Detroit.

i propose that everyone write their congressmen with this plan. De-criminalize all drugs. that should go a long way in running gangs out of business.
