Drug Dealers as Murderers For Hire
----------

In Canada we have several hundred deaths from drug overdose every single day. I would suggest that people who deal drugs that result in the death of their clients should be charged with murder. I mean, they deal drugs, people die, and this, from my simple perspective that this is at the end of the day, murder. What I do no understand is why drug dealers would care so little about the health of their clients, as when you've got a business you want clients to keep coming back so that the dealers can make more profit from repeat purchasers. Very strangely though, the dealers really seem not to care who dies. With this situation one can get the proper understanding of how drug dealers can be re-purposed into assassins. One would just sell a target some drugs that are either tainted or totally pure, causing death by poison or overdose. Another option would be the drug dealers trafficking in Rohipnol ("roofies") at which point they could make an easy kill of the target as they would be totally without the ability to even stand up by themselves. Or if they can still stand, they would be doped up willing to follow the lead of the attacker.

If you kill a person, apart from self defense, you are a murderer. If it is one way or the other that doesn't matter, if you cause the death of someone by your product that is reckless: if the cause of the death is the drug dealer, then that drug dealer is a murderer. When you murder you murder; the method of the murder is irrelevant. If you sell a product that kills people you are guilty of murder, its as simple as that. The judicial word for this may be "man slaughter." However, a more direct re-purposing of drug dealers into killers is not a far stretch. I've heard that for $4,000 you can order a hit on someone by a drug dealer or their associates. This is serious. These people will kill you.

I disagree - while I think there SHOULD be higher consequences for dealers when death is an outcome, I don't think they should be sentanced to death or even lifelong sentences.

I do support long sentences - but the person seeking the drugs are the ones who earned their outcome... I understand that there are two camps here; I want solid and lengthy sentences - but disagree.

I think what we do as a society, however, is DISCUSS - put our viewpoints for all to be heard AND compromise to settle on the best solution we can all support.

... we've lost that as a society - I want to be swayed by others input, and have mine heard. I think we can get back to discussion and compromise - with outcomes that bring ALL closer to what we THINK is the solution(s).

I have heard law enforcement offer a very simple solution.

If a person is caught with illicit drugs, they must on the spot ingest all of it.

If they survive, so be it.

If they end up in a body bag, then society is all the better.

Some German law enforncement suggested - any illicit drug intercepts result in a spin the spinner decision making, with among the official actions being to lace the drugs with terminal poisons and let it continue in the marketplace. Apparently they felt the collateral damage would be offset by the results of either bringing drug production/distribution to very local (and hopefully more trusted) or putting people off drugs all told.

I personally have more Libertarian views, much along the lines of "if you don'r get in my space, so what?"
