Cheap Heroin Fuels Uptick in Homicide, Violent Crime:
This is a really good read from NEWSWEEK magazine.. the biggest threat to the United States right now is not from a foreign enemy.. but from one already here.. And the receipe for disaster lately has been cheap heroin..
From NEWSWEEK:
According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), “Mexican transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) remain the greatest criminal drug threat to the United States; no other group can challenge them in the near term.”
In other words, Mexican cartels have surpassed other international criminal organizations including the Italian mafia, Asian drug rings and the previous preeminent drug importer, the Colombians, to become the No. 1 source of dangerous illegal drugs in the United States over the past decade.
If heroin has yet to directly or indirectly touch you life, it will … give it a bit of time. It has far reaching and decimating..
And this year, a presidential campaign, what do we hear? Nothing much at all about this issue..
Nothing at all about the heroin epidemic and how to treat it.. Nothing at all about how this nation is falling apart at its core fabric..
Just a thought.. vote for someone who actually wants to change things as opposed to sweeping the problem under the rug..
That change may not necessarily be more law enforcement tactics. Not more legislation. But less.
