- I don''''t support the so-called "war on drugs." I wish this agent had been working on something more worthwhile, like homicide investigations. As it is, he gave his life to a lost cause (drugs will never be eradicated from America, just as alcohol was not eradicated during prohibition). His life was unfortunately wasted, and it pains me to say that about such a young man.

The unfortunate reality is that a great deal of homicides are directly related to drug activity (sales & use). While investigating one the other comes with it. There is no separating the two. - Reply to this comment

- a waste of a life.. it is terrible... he would still be alive if the failed drug policies of this country were changed and the black market was eliminated. Although I admit I don''t believe in leagalizing narcotics. However shouldn''t we stop spending wasted time persecuting marijuana users and use all those resources to shut down the nasty drugs that are the real problem inthis country. Meth cocaine heroine and prescription drug abuse should be the priorities of our nation. How often do you hear of someone shooting another over a sour marijuan deal, how many cops have been shot by a crazed marijuan smoker ? more resources put towards addictive narcotics can elimnate the problems before they becoome problems

- I honor all of those that wear the badge and are honestlaw enforcement officers. They get underpaid for what they do and have to risk. Bless their families which have to sacrafice so much for their spouse. GOD hisself honors them as well, in his Word.

I suspect you''re comment is based on the fact that you swallowed, not spit while in jail. - Reply to this comment
- The law should take note of this and prosecute the guilty to the fullest extent possible. That includes the death penality.

You know *** good and well that some idiot liberal judge will probably give this guy 5 years plus probation. Sadly, our judges think their job is to undo 95% of the work of law enforcement. The result is that criminals have no fear of the law, and a society rapidly turning into another Mexico or Somalia. - Reply to this comment
- For you idiot Liberals that think ""VIOLENCE BREEDS VIOLENCE'' need to wake up. Throwing a flower at a man holding a gun at you will not stop the bullet from killing you. After your dead, you won''t have to worry about violence any more unless you go down stairs instead of upstairs. Most likely a bullet is cheaper than a flower.

- Having been in Federal Law Enforcement for 30 years I can tell you that when an entry is made in these type cases you do announce who you are. You don''t call them up and say we''re coming so destroy all the evidence. As you enter the house everyone is screaming "Police- Search Warrant". The bad guys know who is coming through the door. It is done this way to preserve evidence and hopefully get to the subjects before they can arm themselves. "DON''T SECOND GUESS UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN THERE" I have.

Of course he was in the big house & I think he must of liked it. Just look at his name! Once you try to pronounce it becomes all too clear. - Reply to this comment
- Federal agents are among the guardians of civilization. They are the front line between life in the United States and life in Somalia. The law should take note of this and prosecute the guilty to the fullest extent possible. That includes the death penality.

- Folks need to be aware how dangerous it is to the public when they get on the "legalize drugs" soapbox.

Yes, but you''re talking about a meth head. Like you said, a little bit of weed is no biggie. That''s because weed doesn''t fuel violence and crime like the highly addictive heroin, crack, and meth can do. Even alcohol, which is legal, fuels some violence more so than weed. - Reply to this comment

That''s precisely why I stopped at marjuana. That''s the only drug that should be legalised.
In fact most Big Pharma drugs should be banned as well. Unless they have been in use for more than 20 to 30 yrs, and have no known side affects.
Some of these newer drugs, they have no idea about it''s true safety, or effectiveness. - Reply to this comment
- BTW--They caught Meth-Head later that day & discovered that he had been awake for 6 days doing meth.

- Of course, I would have a problem legalizing these other drugs though. They are dangerous....

Agreed. A little pot here & there, no biggie.
Here in Portland the drug of choice for the many is Meth. In one of the more revealing stories, (according to witnesses) a 16 year old was waiting at the bus stop along with several others when a Meth-head joined the group waiting for the bus. All was quiet when Meth-head, without warning, decked the 16 year old & started kicking the heck out of him. When the other people tried to pull him off the kid, he bit a few of them & then ran off. The kid, who in no way knew the meth-head ended up with a broken jaw and ribs. Folks need to be aware how dangerous it is to the public when they get on the "legalize drugs" soapbox. - Reply to this comment
- So if you legalize drugs you think people who take them will act like normal civilized human buildings?

They wouldn''t be criminals anymore so yes, they would act like normal civilized human beings. - Reply to this comment
