War on drugs is useless legalized let adults choose if they want to be a junkie
ReplyDeleteYou have to be jesting? When a person become a drug addict he/she is turned into a costly "robot". This robot will cost society a mass of things. Most addicts (of all kinds, including tobacco and alcohol) "abuse" these drugs because they have "problems." Go down among the so-called homeless anywhere in the world and you will see what I mean. These people are at the bottom stages... and BTW, many are mostly drug addicts or mentally ill because of alcohol and drugs...not because of lack of jobs.
DeleteLegalizing drugs (including pot) will cause serious problems ... trust me.... like alcohol, people will soon take this opening and go far beyond in "abusing" the various cannibinols in pot. Legalizing pot will not stop there... I know human nature too well.

Yea so we have a bunch of deranged doped up people running around. Great idea. Not
DeleteIts all a personal choice alcohol is bad why is it legal pharmaceuticals are bad and still prescribed porn is bad and its still produced its 2020 you old farts wake up or croak already people will do bad things with or without drugs blame ones self for once not the substance survival of the fittest if your weakminded peace out off you go to the afterlife faster war on drugs is war on consciousness
Delete11:38 drug addiction is an escape achieved through unconsciouness, a dulling of the senses, unless you are going for a high that soon starts leaving you dumber and dumber.
Deletepeople should be able to sue their pusher, their pimp for over time and wages or damages, 5h as t could take care of the proselitizing of minors.and control the population, too many crooks on the loose, but the crooks in power make shit possible for all without accountability.
Motherfackers could have waited and tracked the shipment home to make some more worthy arrests, but noooo,
ReplyDeleteThey will deliver the shit home themselves and make the 5 million dollars their own.
The US is not Mexico, hombre.
DeleteDeliver to who. This aint the 70s or this aint mexico were drugs are seized and immediately resold.
Delete3:26 Not all of the US, but "as you see below, is as above"
DeleteIn the wise words of Mostradamus.
The mexican corruption, police, cartels, in government, banking and business, reflects its creators on the US, even the hippiadas came from the US to Mexico when they were trying to introduce drug trafficking and psichedelia for the masses to LatinAmerica and the Bellbottoms to Pablo Escobar's big fat ass with help of US beloved nazi pet boy Klaus Barbie...
Eating their own drug trafficker heros does not save those rogue americans
3:26 and 3:39; You are naive.
DeleteThe U.S. law enforcement only catch 10 %
ReplyDeleteExcellent 👍 catch of drugs flooding our American streets. It is no wonder we are infested with drug addicts wanting drugs, which also messes up families,31,000 died of drug overdose.
ReplyDeleteThe fenatnyls and meth addictions can be blamed on US legislators who sold their arses to BIG US Pharma for campaign donations from their lobbyists.
DeleteMexican narcos just got a contract to keep supplying the orphaned addicts, and the formulas offahored from Big Pharma, there were amphetamine traffickers before Nacho Coronel, like the Cardenas Amezcuas, persecuted by the mexican government because generales of the armies wanted the whole business, like governor of jaliskas Marcelino Garcia Barragan and his son javier garcia paniagua director of the DFS because "daddy was powerful"

Delete4:34 You are right. The politicians, laws, and then distributors of pain pills for 15 years with no problemo set the stage for that which narcos are feasting from as the DEA began its crackdown on doctors and distributors. Of course the politicians with their campaign donations got away with no recourse, not even questions from the DEA or legislative committee.
DeleteMany news outlets are reporting a decline of manufacturing/ distribution of narcotics due to covid. However, the necessity of goods to stock American pantries indicates an opportunity. Needless to say this shipment of stone tile is not an essential element thus pulled for secondary inspection.
ReplyDelete1:03 the meth and fentanyl producers may get ordered back to work soon.
DeleteOrders from above, unless they have a powerful union that won't sell them down the river
I did not know they stock up illegal drugs at pantries. Nevertheless, I thought they are stashed in so called safe houses.
Delete6:30
DeleteAnd that's why they were searched thoroughly.
stoned tiles was very valuable this time. jalisco source a dead giveaway. stupid. not the brightest tool Jefe.
ReplyDeleteI bet this ain't CDN's merch...
ReplyDeleteDriving from Jalisco to LA through Texas? Que?
ReplyDeleteIs there any other way? Lol
DeleteSeriously, maybe that's what set off the officer for a secondary inspection.
Considering they were hauling a lot of dope to belong to probably Mencho, they could not go str8 up as for the border plazas of Juarez and Sonora are owned by a whole different cartel that doesn’t operate with CJNG.
DeleteIs not CPB. Is CBP.
ReplyDeleteAre these stupidstupid, horrible, insensitive, inhuman officials NEVERNEVER gonna learnlearn theythey onlyonly making thingsthings worseworse by fighting symptoms in their wasteful war on drugsdrugs that causes all this ongoing bloodshed? I guess not; guess they truly don't care.
