This is unbelievable: Mayor Pete Buttigieg Wants to Decriminalize ‘Meth, Coke, Ecstasy,’ Not Just Pot.
Reformatted, emphasis mine:
In an interview on Friday, Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D-Church of Social Justice) clarified his drug policy, calling for decriminalization of all drugs including methamphetamine, cocaine, and ecstasy. “Incarceration should not even be a response to drug possession,” Buttigieg told editors at the Des Moines Register. An editor pressed him, “Is that across the board? So if it’s meth or coke or ecstasy, any drugs, if it’s possession, incarceration isn’t…”
“That’s right,” Mayor Pete said.
“I would not have said even five years ago what I believe now, which is that incarceration should not even be a response to drug possession,” the candidate added. “What I’ve seen is that while there continue to be all kinds of harms associated with drug possession and use, it’s also the case that we have created—in an effort to deal with what amounts to a public health problem—we have created an even bigger problem. A justice problem and its form of a health problem.”
Sorry, but as the father of an addict, I know that there isn’t a level deep enough into which I could throw Buttigieg within Dante’s Inferno. Life isn’t hard enough for the families of addicts and HE wants to create MORE such families??? How about the rest of society that has to suffer the depredations the street addicts cause in getting the money to support their habits? He may be pulling out of the War on Drugs but what about the rest of us that would be subjected to the after-effects. Seriously, no jail time? This is MUCH worse than the rogue District Attorneys that have declared that they will no longer go after “low level” retail robberies – and now crime in those areas are skyrocketing. Now he wants to do this nationwide?
There are NO words I can muster to adequately how I feel about him right about now. I’m not sure which is worse, this or being the anti-Christian bigot with a silver anti-Biblical tongue (whereupon “Jesus” was a refugee” is just the tiniest of his heresies). He’s dangerous – very dangerous.
So, how’s South Bend doing?
