Hypothetically, if true, those alleged activities took place in a country that wanted us in there. That country was interested in getting rid of drug lords. Mexico on the other hand does not want the U.S to openly wander in their borders taking out drug Lords.

And we shouldn't do it even if they did ask us.

They need to learn to take out their own criminals. I sure as hell wouldn't want the law enforcement agencies of some other nation traipsing around this country.

Why his he our problem... because he conspires to import narcotics into this country and unlike Mexico we can keep him behind bars.

Common sense is truly a myth these days...

Sooo...if I shoot some guy in a foreign country...from over the border. I have committed no crime according to you?

What utter nonsense. You're trying to play games with words, and its nonsense.

Who did he shoot In this country from over the border?

He moved dope and people that want dope bought it.

He's filling a market niche. Hardly a crime against humanity.

Fine....

If I poison some guy in another country.

As usual you're trying to ignore the reality and wordsmith into some alternate reality.

You do not have to be physically e in another country in order to commit a crime in that country. True story.

Wow. Way to avoid the topic. He is guilty of breaking our laws.

He has provided meth to people who did not intend to die
They have died.

Pretty sure they were unwilling to die.

It's a shame but I'd bet quite a few people who take meth don't care too much about their life. They knew the risks.

And the addiction of the drug caused this.

But the bottom line still becomes-he has broken our laws. You can disagree with the law, but its the gosh darned law.

If you break it you know the possible consequences.

Hey, pot is legal in Oregon, and colorado!

Uhmm....no its not. Its legal on the local and state level, NOT the federal. Go ahead and use it, you know the risks. (virtually 0).

This guy broke our laws, he knew the risks.

You folks can try and moan about how he didnt break any laws, or force anyone to do anything. The reality is-he broke laws. He distributed a incredibly addictive drug. If he'd stuck with something like pot or ecstacy I'd probably go along with you folks. But Meth is vastly different, and causes damage to our society beyond the users that take it. Its illegal for a VERY good reason.
