Some perspective: in 2018 I got arrested for the 6th time in 3 months for violating my stay away. I was wearing an ankle monitor. I had 5 open cases for non violent charges. The cops said I'd probably be a "let go". I spent nearly 3 months in custody.

The guy that killed the 2 women on NYE was arrested as recently as Dec. 20 and had been arrested several times in the past 6 months for robbery and drug possession for sale and was already on parole. They let him go. Someone needs to explain this to me like I'm 3 years old.

Prohibition promotes violence, addiction, lawlessness, and drug usage. Seems like in this situation the lifestyle it maintains also took two lives, this drug war hurts everyone.

Accountability.
@SFDAOffice allowed a known and violent criminal to remain on the streets. Many of us have said that it's only a matter of time until innocent people die because of these policies - and now it's happened. We need accountability, not excuses.@chesaboudin1 reply 1 retweet 0 likes -
The drug war has failed and in doing so has entrusted lucrative market of drug sales to lawless hoodlums, this lawlessness is caused by prohibition. This lawless drug selling hoodlum ran someone over, the circumstances of use must be better controlled but cannot be eliminated.

So if we legalized all drugs 20 years ago. This car thief and armed robber would have been a physicist, doctor, or elementary school teacher? Or drugs are just one part of it, we have to also snatch kids from their horrible parents?

If we legalized drugs last week this violent dealer would have been replaced with peaceful drug wholesellers interested in thier customers long term business and their reputation. It might have stopped this is what I am saying.

The blame for this isn't on the "failed war on drugs". This is an individual who has repeatedly committed crimes that have resulted in zero repercussions. He wasn't moved from society to as punishment or for rehabilitation - and now 2 women are dead. We deserve better than this.

Like you said, legalization "might" have kept those women alive. I can think of a couple solutions that would 100% work. No cars would have been stolen, No armed robberies, No dead ladies. 1) Bullet to the head, or 2) Leave forever & If you come back, we go with option one.

Legalization still doesn’t mean the drugs would be free; people will still commit crimes to get money, such as stealing cars, and then evading police.

Yes and drug dealers, wouldn't suddenly become dentists. Criminals commit crime. They will simply move on to another criminal activity. Ex. Horse thieves became car thieves. Then we'd have to waste more money on more legal drug addiction support, as more became hooked.

Yes but can we take take this super excessively lucrative one away from them? In doing so we could make the entire situation much safer.
