… they would strike at the root of the cause of so much crime that plagues their communities: drug prohibition.
In Farmington, NH there has been a rash of burglaries:
“Police have nabbed three men and continue to make headway on an investigation into a burglary and theft spree plaguing the town.”
“Farmington is a town that averages 35 to 40 burglaries annually, Willey said, but in a monthlong period from early June to early July, there were nine reported break-ins, he said. Between June 1 and June 6, there were additionally 15 reported thefts from motor vehicles, he said.“
I feel I must repeat myself continuously here for the truth to hopefully one day sink in: Why, oh why, are these innocent people being victimized?
“Among those arrested was Sheldon J. Wallace, 36, of 68 Swan Lake Trail in Alton. He was charged with felonies of possession of burglary tools and Oxycodone, two counts of burglary and misdemeanor criminal mischief in connection with recent burglaries at 485 Route 11.”
Opiate addicts, again.
“Currently, Card faces two counts of burglary, two counts of conspiracy to commit burglary and two counts of receiving stolen property, Willey said. He was allegedly involved in break-ins at 59 Sycamore Blvd. and 50 Peaceful Pines Circle, he said. Willey said Card is a suspect in two other downtown burglaries and is a “very strong suspect” in a third.”
Wow, this guy has harmed a lot of innocent people. He should be stopped. Better yet, why don’t we make sure that this entire crime problem comes to a halt?
“Card, who is currently on probation and has a history of burglary and theft, had bail set at $5,000 cash during arraignment. He is due in court for a probable cause hearing on July 12 at 1 p.m. Christofore had bail set at $1,000 cash and has an Aug. 19 trial on the misdemeanor charge.“
Q: Why would someone ON PROBATION with a history of burglary do something so stupid as to continue to burglarize homes?
A: He’s an opiate addict who, like most, will stop at nothing to get money to get the drugs he needs.
““It’s good old-fashioned police work,” Willey said.“
No, it’s not. It is stupid and needless police work. I suppose it is job security as crime = job. If you really wanted to protect your community Mr. Willey, you’d come to realize that drug prohibition is causing this problem.
You’re either two things:
1) Uneducated on why this crime is happening; or
2) Too afraid/uncaring to stand up to try and make your community safer.
