And also, why would the government want to turn into a murderer too? Isn't that hypocrytical whether it's done in the law or not? All that says is it's alright for the government to kill.)
You know that sales of drugs fund many gangs around the world? Would you rather have the people that help them die or the people that are killed by the gangs die? It's one choice or the other.

That's getting off easy, even in America. I think that they should have been punished to a more serious extent.
