Question by Maricopa County: Will activists blame Americans for this and why is there drug rehab in MEXICO activists said MEXICANS did not?
Will activists blame Americans for this and why is there drug rehab in MEXICO activists said MEXICANS did not ever use drugs and this is why the drugs come here ?CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico — At least 30 gunmen burst into a drug rehabilitation center in a Mexican border state capital and opened fire, killing 19 men and wounding several others, police said.

The killings happened late Thursday at the Faith and Life center in Chihuahua city, about 210 miles (350 kilometers) south of Ciudad Juarez and the border with El Paso, Texas, said state police spokesman Fidel Banuelos.

They came a day after unidentified assailants killed one man and wounded another at a rehab center in Ciudad Juarez.

The men at the Faith and Life center were roused out of bed shortly before 11 p.m. and placed face-down along a hallway, the center’s director, Cristian Rey Ramirez, told The Associated Press.

Ramirez was alerted to the attack by the center’s pastor by telephone.

“He tells me, ‘You know what, come here because they just killed everyone,'” Rey said. “There was no warning.”

The attackers left messages accusing the victims of being criminals, Banuelos said.

Four other people were hospitalized but their conditions were not immediately known.

The victims ranged in age from 30 to 40, and included a blind man, said the Rev. Rene Castillo, a minister who gives weekly sermons at the center.

“Everyone is so scared now,” he said, adding that violence is “all everyone talks about, especially with all the threats that have been made.”

President Felipe Calderon, whose war on drugs has claimed nearly 23,000 lives since he took office in late 2006, issued a statement Friday condemning the shootings.

“They are outrageous acts that reinforce the conviction of the need to fight criminal groups who carry out such barbaric acts with full legal force,” he said.

Police have said that two of Mexico’s six major drug cartels are exploiting rehab centers to recruit hit men and drug smugglers, often threatening to kill those who don’t cooperate. Others are killed for failing to pay for drugs or betraying a dealer.

More than 60 people have died in mass shootings at rehab clinics in a little less than two years.

Question by chicagoanswerer: Why is it acceptable to drink alcohol but not smoke pot?
Just curious what others think about this. They say alcohol kills so many hundreds of thousands each year yet in the history of the world no-one has died from marijuana. A study was also recently released that stated marijuana smoke does not cause cancer. Marijuana is also proven not to be physically addictive as both alcohol and ciggarettes are. And to top it off the whole reason it was made illegal in the first place is because Harry J. Anslinger testified to congress it caused white women to seek black men, people to kill their brother, and the degenerate races to think they were as good as the white man, absolutely none of it was based on any science. Just curious why people’s attitude towards alcohol is great and people look down upon marijuana?
Let me clarify, I’m not asking about how we view the people who smoke pot, I’m asking how we view pot itself. And for those comments about pot smokers being stupid, though there is the stereotype of the stoner many many many potheads are academics, scientists, professors, writers, lawyers, etc.

People with power and influence crusaded and manipulated the government to make it illegal. It’s as simple as that.

This is not some hippie political statement. I don’t smoke pot.
