Where is there a victim since you escaped unscathed?

I ask Spanky or others...what legislative proposal - meatiger MU - 8/21 12:53:01

If you can simply legislate out bad behavior I would try - DHighlander NWMSU - 8/21 13:55:30

strawman much? - Spanky KU - 8/21 13:34:09

It isn't a strawman. What legislative proposals could - TigerMatt STL - 8/21 13:49:14

Seriously? Are you that dumb? - Spanky KU - 8/21 13:58:28

Doesn't prove there was going to be an actual murder. - TigerMatt STL - 8/21 14:21:51

Poison in lethal dosage - DollarSigns MU - 8/21 13:12:42

While you're at it meat, what legislation would end - hokie VT - 8/21 13:01:30

Except for jaywalking there is an actual victim.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 8/21 13:03:11

That's silly but still...did his pathetic question consider - hokie VT - 8/21 13:09:15

Criminals by nature don't care about laws. But crime - TigerMatt STL - 8/21 13:11:44

Crime does not require an actual victim. Learn English! - Spanky KU - 8/21 13:45:04

Yes it does (nm) - pickle MU

Same question to you dumb@$$ - Spanky KU - 8/21 18:06:18

Let's say I shoot a gun at you fully intending to kill you, - Spanky KU - 8/21 14:10:11

Of course. A victim doesn't have to be physically harmed. - TigerMatt STL - 8/21 14:25:08

How would you be a victim in my scenario? - Spanky KU - 8/21 18:05:44

I'm not going to try to convince you that illegal immigratio - hokie VT - 8/21 13:14:10

You falsely assume heroin use would go up if it were - TigerMatt STL - 8/21 13:15:24

It sure as hell would - redngray MU - 8/21 14:36:56

No it wouldn't. No one is going to say, I'm gonna try - TigerMatt STL - 8/21 14:39:41

Look at SF, LA and other lib cities that have effectively - hokie VT - 8/21 13:18:25

It is false to claim they have decriminalized - meatiger MU - 8/21 14:39:02

Using SF as an example. The total number of overdose deaths - TigerMatt STL - 8/21 13:31:44

Less people getting abused by the criminal justice system. - Newcatbirdseat MU - 8/21 13:35:50

I know, let's make EVERYTHING legal. Like The Idiot has - hokie VT - 8/21 13:41:34

Overdose deaths is not the measure for other victims. What - hokie VT - 8/21 13:35:34

What other victims? Taking a dump on business - TigerMatt STL - 8/21 13:37:33

You win. Imagine there is no country...John Lennon. nm - hokie VT - 8/21 13:42:32

I didn't say that. I said who is the victim?(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 8/21 13:51:56

Taxpayers who pay for free education, free healthcare, free - hokie VT - 8/21 14:00:46

Sounds like a problem with government programs - TigerMatt STL - 8/21 14:26:20

I wondered how long it'd be before you went all Pickle on - hokie VT - 8/21 14:36:51

Why not simply require proof of legal residency for - TigerMatt STL - 8/21 14:54:48

Really, just abandon a bunch of foreigners who barely - hokie VT - 8/21 15:42:53

Issue will then be --where users will get money to buy drugs - mu7176grad MU - 8/21 12:58:38

I pay for mine with the money I get from my job(nm) - cnk ATL - 8/21 13:04:58
