Sanders: Will help blacks sell drugs

[PostmodernProphet]

So you're not interested in solving crime problem and fixing the broken justice system?

Thank you for giving us more reasons to vote Democrat.

don't be silly......mindless twits don't need more reasons to vote demmycrat.......the problem with the legal system isn't that drugs are illegal.......its that people don't give a fuck that drugs are illegal.......

[AProudLefty]

than why in the fuck did u bring up this



what does that have to do with minorities setting up legal marijuana businesses?

Because if you actually watched the entire video, it is what he said. The article took the phrase out of context. Context is everything.

Watch the video then you'll understand.

Wouldn't you want marijuana legalized to reduce crimes? I mean that's something Republicans want.... to solve the crime problems in "Democrat" inner cities.

A nation where everyone is stoned is an idiot nation indeed.the flakiness of a stoned people is unconsciouness of the people. Unconscious people are dead people. I am 180 degrees against federal legalization / control of weed . Nobody will be able to get more than a nickle bag of shake per month; or the deepstate's ashes. [SIZE=4][yes even weed... /SIZE]DEATHTOTHEDEEPSTATE!

Or it will be like other places, where the underground sales are occurring; because they can and will sell cheaper then the licensed stores, seeing as how they don't have to worry about the taxes.

You're equating toking with shooting people?

DEMOCRATS seem to have diminished expectations of the people they nominated themselves to represent. It's paternalistic, patronizing, and offensive, particularly with their Party's shameful heritage.

Yes?

Channel 4 is a left of centre TV channel in the UK, but its fact checking service is remarkably unbiased, which is more than can be said for the likes of Snopes. Although the 13% figure is bandied about a lot, in truth it's nearer 7% as the vast majority of those homicides are black males between 15-35.

A review of the crime statistics cast doubt on proponents’ claim that legalization reduces violent crime; to the contrary, homicides have generally increased in pro-marijuana jurisdictions. In Denver, the homicide rate has steadily climbed from 36 in 2013 to a peak of 67 in 2018. Seattle had 19 homicides in 2013, then the rate increased every year except 2016, reaching a peak in 2018 of 31 cases. Even the District of Columbia has experienced a resurgence of violence — reaching 160 homicides in 2018 after seeing a historically low 116 homicide cases in 2017. Though too early in the year to make a meaningful projection, homicides spiked more than 100 percent in January 2019, as compared with January 2018.

Thank you. But I am clueless as to why the OP talked about homicides committed by blacks.
