No, this is insane and another example of why this moron needs to be put on medication.

@MarkPaul LMFAO!!

Translate: Kill poor people who sell drugs to get by-- while doctors who run pill mills skate.

@CopperCicada But no racism here...

I wonder if that includes all the doctors who write out prescriptions for oxy like they are handing out jelly beans.

@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy No. They have lobbyists.

Coyotedave611 · M

@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy I doubt it. The kick back they get from big pharma. is way too powerful.

SheCallsMeCrushDaddy · M

@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy they want dealers dead so the doctors and pharmacy companies will have less competition.

Red herring bullshit.

Coyotedave611 · M

@SW-User Thats what I thought too, anything to divert public opinion.

SW-User

@Coyotedave611 Yup -- it's demagoguery. See how tough I am! I'm sure the death penalty will stop so many coke dealers, too.

The death penalty has never kept murderers from crimes.

IM conservative but I don’t think the death penalty is purposeful - not a lot of evidence it is a deterrent. But the whole prison system is pretty fucked up anyways.

Coyotedave611 · M

@DownTheStreet I totally agree with you in this particular case.

That's retarded. Especially since someone slinging dope is alot worse than Travis who's sixteen and plays Grand Theft Auto. Pretty sure neither of them really deserve to die though.

It's a great idea. We need to impose the death penalty on many other crimes too and limit the time for appeals to 90 days. Execute them in public on pay per view.

@TheProphet Maybe he could build a nice gas chamber like his hero Hitler did, huh? Then our little self appointed dictator could kill people wholesale--while his cult cheers him on. Hell why not skip trials and just lynch them? The KKK would help.

Another reason that Trump is leaning towards fascism more and more. I don't support it because I can think of too many cases that could go wrong. You can easily frame people for one, people have been unjustly murdered by the state. I love how it's illegal for us to murder but perfectly legal for the Govt. Goals eh?

Not saying that it's not a problem but I don't see how lining people up and shooting them is going to take care of the problem.

CopperCicada · M

@SatanBurger He just wants to be a tough guy and be on the record advocating killing the "bad guys". Among the last people he cares about are people suffering from addiction. If it was a primary concern the approach wouldn't be death penalty after the fact.

@CopperCicada How tough of a guy was he when he dodged the draft with 5 time with made up injuries? If he's tough--he had adequate chances to show it--but as usual--like everything else he does---he con jobbed his way out of it.

SW-User

No. I don't think that solves the problem at all. He should focus on doing something about these pharmaceutical companies if he really wants to change things.

silentwriter180 · 51-55, F

I don't approve of anything he does.

frequentlyme · 70-79, M

No, not generally speaking. I do believe in the death penalty for the most heinous of acts, so maybe for major heads of drug organizations, I might go along with it. Their organizations kill thousands, and that fits my definition of heinous. Other than that, no, I don't agree.
