Some say that America should legalize all drugs, since the drug war isn't working. Others just blame The Mexican drug war, and point fingers. Of course that makes people fight harder for more "border control" which is a joke at this point, right?
Law enforcement officials say heroin has spiked in the northeast. More than half of heroin arrests nationwide happen there. Twice as many heroin users seek treatment than all other regions combined.My problem with the news is not so much that these people that are living in these communities on the East Coast blame the Mexican drug cartels, as much as it is that they are NOT blaming themselves or their children at all.
On Long Island, it's luring middle class kids like Natalie.
"She was really something else," Doreen Ciappa said.
A straight-A student, a cheerleader. Kids like her are attracted to this cheaper heroin because they don't think its as dangerous as the heroin you shoot into your veins.
"I think we skipped a generation in education. The young kids don't see the perils with heroin." said Nassau County Police Department Det. Lt. Peter Donohue.
It might sound insensitive, but I do not hear a lot of remorse in the voices of people that have children that are "victims" of overdose. These people do not say that their children chose to do drugs, they don't say they were lousy parents, they just blame the Mexican Drug War. I'm tired of hearing scapegoats, and I would prefer to hear someone stand up and say that the teenagers are choosing to do drugs.
There is a serious problem brewing with the American drug influx. It is not that Mexico is solely to blame, it is that we are to blame too. We choose to drink, smoke, and do drugs. We empower the drug cartels more by denying the fact that we have the ultimate power in an easy word; No.

The War against drugs in the Border :
The Injuries and wounds of Pastor Steven Anderson by Border Patrol in Arizona.
A Nice and Kind Baptist Pastor Beaten, Tormented, Tortured and Injured by Border Police while driving from San Diego to Phoenix.
His church has been very kind to Latinos, helping them with Spanish Language Sermons and Classes. He is a noble guy. I did some research on this man and his church, they integrate people to American life.
The pastor was tortured, tormented, steped on, injured with broken glass, etc ...
Does Steven Anderson look Latino or Mexican ??
No, he is a crew cut blond anglo, a law abiding American Citizen.
See many videos in YouTube.
Or in my site RACIALITY.COM where I am also building a beautiful Encyclopedia of ArchaeoGenetics, Archeology, ArchaeoMythology, etc ... to fight ignorance and unkindness.

I heard about that. I saw the video account of that.
Obviously, the persons who reported a heroin spike in the NE haven't been paying attention for the past 20 yrs. Heroin has been the number one choice in the Mid-Atlantic region since I can remember.
The NE drug line comes via Miami and NYC, not so much Mexico. Straight out of Colombia with a very high purity rate. It can actually be snorted.
The price of heroin has been the same here for 20 yrs which can't be said for alcohol or cigarettes. Crack is cheaper than cigarettes here.
