If you can think of a stupid idea, you can find a drug warrior who agrees with it. Today's example comes courtesy of Sheriff Victor Hill in Clayton County, GA, whose frustration with the failing drug war has driven him over the edge:
Who, other than Sheriff Hill and his cavalry, wants a Normandy Invasion in their community? It should never be necessary to explain that the job of police is to make the neighborhood not a warzone. To even suggest that our domestic drug war should be fought like Vietnam is to fail the most basic litmus test regarding one's qualifications to protect the safety of the public.
The remarkable irony here, however, is that Sheriff Hill is right. If we want to "win" this war on drugs, we must jettison our Bill of Rights and occupy every square block from coast to coast. Ubiquitous checkpoints, widespread urine collection, and systematic door-to-door drug raids are just the beginning if we wish to make even a small dent in the massive ongoing hashbash these hippies insist on throwing every goddamn day.
With all this in mind, I nominate Sheriff Victor Hill to be the next Drug Czar. His candid assessment will advance the drug policy debate dramatically, probably to a point at which everyday people recognize the absurdity of all this and demand an end to this whole stupid war, lest the people calling for a Normandy Invasion should eventually get their way.
Hill said the conventional method of warrants and arrests are not working, and that military-like occupation of deputies is necessary.I swear, one need only place a microphone before the frothing mouths of these drug war lunatics and they will reveal beyond ambiguity just how far removed they are from understanding why it is that they've been asked to do this in the first place.
…
"The war on drugs in Clayton County, as in most jurisdictions, I liken it to the Vietnam War," Hill said. "Hit and miss, there is no clear win — we don’t know if we’re gaining ground or not. What we want to do is we want to change our strategy. We want to make this more like a Normandy invasion." [11Alive.com]

Looking for the easiest way to join the anti-drug war movement? You've found it!
someone should explain to this clown about guerrilla warfare
yeah I'd love to see him as drug czar too.
Normandy?
I remember Normandy. That was during a war where the "otherside" shot back. Wonder if Victor is prepared for a fair fight.
At last the true colors of the prohibitionists
He starts off good, noting that there is not a clear win and that a change in strategy is needed. However, then he makes his true intentions known announcing that more guns and violence is the answer. I wonder if he was alive during the Normandy invasion. I sure as hell wasn't but maybe he wasn't either and he yearns for such "excitement" i dunno? From his comment i would guess that he was around for Vietnam but maybe he just did not see enough combat time, if any at all.
The part that frightens me the most is his use of the word "we" because that means he has some other cronies who are not satisfied with paintball or other combat activities and need something that will really get the adrenaline pumping. His aspirations for a military occupation are absurd and i think most would agree.

Yo, that dude is a G man, he knows how to get shit done.
Go to Thialand
Operation "Eye for an Eye" started in Thialand, and within thirty (30) days one thousand one hundred and forty (1,140) were dead. The president said mistakes had been made, and some innocent people were killed. I can't remember his exact words but, more or less, Shit Happens.

Maybe The Sheriff Needs Anger Management
God help us all if this sheriff ever teams up with Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio. Two peas in a pod like that should BE living in one of their own pods -- for life.
These are the nutjobs people think are protecting them from the nutjobs that are supposedly all "out there" where we live.
Ironic.
Scary as hell, isn't it -- we're giving guns & ammo to these sociopathic sadistic freaks of nature -- and way too much power.
