I live in a town that has a famous college, two in fact. Smack across the City Hall, right outside the public library which is very popular with children, families and school kids wanting to do homework after school, is one of the worst drug dealing outfits and has been there for years. It is getting worse, and the library security can merely walk past them and wish them hello. There are Community policemen that just cycle past them and past another notorious drug selling node, also right under their noses not 100 yards away, on a sidewalk frequented by college students and tourists.
I am left puzzled as to why these outfits cannot be rolled up and locked away, since evidence is not lacking: it exists on their persons and a camera with zoom can easily record all illegal activity that happen to involve some of the more vicious PTs. I would not care about the innocuous PTs.
Yet, LE have time on their hands to go after activities that have little relevance to society and do not endanger lives, and certainly do not kill. The effects of these PTs are undeniable and their mark is that they turn their victims into skeletal beings before killing them outright. I may be censured for saying this here but the LE need to attend to the greater of the two evils, one being no evil at all, merely a moralistic attitude and the other a killer of bodies and souls.

Both PT and hookers should be legal and most of that negative shit you clearly despise will be greatly reduced and LE can focus on violence and theft (when they're not committing that to others).
I hate to admit but your post does sound quite fascist.

I agree and disagree with GP, poison yes, vending no. The same with Budweiser, Cuervo, Pfizer, and other sorts of marketed narcotics.
