Fuck that, they should be force fed oxy and every doctor in the country prohibited from helping with their inevitable addiction.
I sincerely hope no one else gets addicted to opioids. But that's not what we're talking about here. These aren't people, they're fucking demons.
Unfortunately, they are people. Evil, narcissistic, sociopathic, detestable people. Dehumanizing them is easy because of how inhumane they are, but it jumpstarts one of the more verified slippery slopes that ends up "justifying" atrocities.
That being said, I'm all for them being stripped of every possession and asset they've ever had, sending every participant family member and associate put in a different high security prison for life, and possibly sentencing them under 13th amendment slavery rules with all revenue going to addiction treatment.
Because they're people. And they deserve all of the things our judicial system has to offer. As people. Evil, shitty, greedy, people.
So solitary confinement for years to drive them mad?
That’s what our injustice system currently does to people who got addicted to those drugs and fucked their lives up as a result, so that seems fitting as long as we are gunna do torture anyway.
(For the record, I’d much rather we didn’t do crimes against humanity, but here we are)
