Drug Law Violator Killed By Police

[GIThruster]

Thank you for confirming my impression of your position. Life in prison for repeatedly selling untaxed cigarettes one at a time.

That's not what I said, you reprobate degenerate. How can you deliberately mischaracterize my position while I'm complaining about you deliberately mischaracterizing my position? Do you think you're being clever?

Well was the criminal in question a career criminal? Was his criminal career at least of late selling untaxed single cigarettes? Do you believe in life imprisonment for career criminals? Glad to have so upset you. You were no doubt born to OBEY. Good for you!

I believe alcohol has destroyed your brain. Pity. My condolences.

I have never been called a reprobate before. Thank you. As to degenerate? Since age 30 or so. It is and was delightful fun. I sincerely hope that offends you.

But no matter. I'm working as hard as I can to destroy your politics. With some effect so far. I believe Sarah Palin territory will be next. That will be a hoot. Funny enough I voted for her the last time I had a chance. Might do it again if given the opportunity. My dream ticket? Paul (Rand) and Palin. PaPa. Nice ring.

Simon, please try to grasp the irony: you started a thread about a drug violator who was killed by the police, who was neither a drug violator, nor killed by the police. All you've accomplished is to further alienate yourself from anyone worth trying to convince of your pro-druggie agenda. You are consistently like this--acting crazy as a loon and giving your cause a very poor presentation, while convincing yourself that your spam on this board and posts in general, have had some sort of positive effect. They have not. You have not. You are literally the ONLY person who thinks you have some sort of important political effect on the populous, and this kind of delusion makes you diagnosable.

Your drugs are making you ever more separated from reality, Simon. The technical term for this is "psychotic".

MSimon did misstate the issue. The issue was excessive taxes, not drugs.



The product was legal. It was the failure to pay the communist tax which was illegal.



The police were enforcing a tax law, not a substance law.

Is tobacco a drug or not? Is it your opinion that drugs are illegal? Explain alcohol.

And yes excessive taxes do work like prohibition. You get a black market. Charles Whitebread was of the opinion that tobacco prohibition would replace pot prohibition. He told a gathering of the FBI that some decades ago.

Well if high taxes make prohibition and prohibition is communist how do you explain Republicans? No need. Milton Friedman explained them 40 years ago.

It seems Republicans are as pro socialist as Democrats. It is just that their favorite beneficiaries are criminals. Odd.

Pregnant Woman Allegedly Put In Chokehold By NYPD Officer

A New York City police officer allegedly placed a 27-year-old pregnant woman in a chokehold Saturday after she was accused of illegally grilling in East New York, Brooklyn. The incident was captured on camera.

She was grilling in front of her home, not committing any crime,” former City Councilman Charles Barron told The New York Post of the incident. “We want these people out of our community.”

Use of the chokehold by New York police officers has been banned for more than 20 years, according to Reuters. Yet the outlet reports that the department has a "backlog" of chokehold complaints currently under investigation.
The latest chokehold incident comes just over a week after Staten Island man Eric Garner died while being placed in a chokehold by a member of the NYPD. At the time, Garner was being arrested on charges stemming from illegal cigarette sales. A bystander captured the incident on video.

After a meeting with Garner's family and federal prosecutors in Brooklyn on Friday, activist Rev. Al Sharpton called for an end to the use of the chokehold nationwide.

"We cannot just depend -- and this is important -- on police policy to stop the choke hold," Sharpton said, per Reuters. "We need a federal precedent."

New York medical examiners said that the chokehold and other force applied by New York police officers were the primary cause of Eric Garner’s death.

From your link:
He had a repeat history of run-ins with the NYPD, including other arrests for selling cigarettes that are removed from regular 20-cigarette packs.

His crimes included selling cigs that were removed from their packs?! Oh yeah a real desperado.
