Raiders strike in ABQ Old Town- take hostage and steal property

Raiders strike in ABQ Old Town- take hostage and steal property

Brave (cough) drug warriors have scored again in Albuquerque; "saving" us all from the danger of making our own choices and from scary free-market, government-prohibited, trade.

In Old Town drug warriors have invaded private property, kidnapped a man, and stolen at least $200,000 worth of his possessions (according to the Federal Baby Incinerators). At least the headline I read is honest when it calls the involved LEOs "raiders" . A raider is one who invades private property, and usually attacks and steals; not a good guy at all. Just look at the synonyms for "raider" listed by Dictionary.com: rustler, highwayman, pillager, hijacker, looter, marauder, pirate, pilferer, etc.

I'm not saying that the kidnapped and robbed man was necessarily a good guy, either, I don't know him, but the actions of the raiders puts them squarely in the camp of the bad guys. Their actions are evil. There is no, and can be no, legitimate reason for the failed and destructive War on (some) Drugs.
