      Michael Shellenberger Retweeted Jacqui

      My friend Jacqui is trying to save her son’s life but progressives won’t let her. Why? Because he needs to be arrested, and the drug dealers who stab him & sell him fentanyl need to be arrested, and deported, and progressives are against arresting people they label “Victims”https://twitter.com/JacquiBerlinn/status/1451766041692893184 …

      This is my son. His teachers told me they put new students w/him cuz he’d care for them. In HS he defended the underdog. Now he is addicted to fentanyl, caught in a destructive cycle. Please pray for my son. His heart is golden & I believe he can be saved. If San Francisco helps pic.twitter.com/ENCdi1ki4K

      Progressives say arresting murderous drug dealers & addicts is wrong and they point to Portugal and Netherlands as nations that legalized drugs as models. But both Portugal and Netherlands arrest drug addicts and drug dealers and sentence them to prison or mandatory drug rehab

      I asked the head of Portugal’s drug program point blank what would happen to people like Jacqui’s son who shoot heroin and smoke fentanyl in public. He said, “They would be arrested.” When I feigned surprise he said, “Yes! You would be sent to the police station.”https://twitter.com/ShellenbergerMD/status/1415345836913922054 …

      Many progressives believe that Portugal and Netherlands reduced drug deaths by simply decriminalizing drugs, which is wrong The Portuguese coerce addicts to quit, and don't allow public drug use, as the architect of the Portuguese approach explained to me: pic.twitter.com/OPKbzqyNuJ

      In research for my new book, San Fransicko, I discovered that the Netherlands, like Portugal, AND EVERY OTHER CIVILIZED NATION, arrests drug addicts and drug dealers caught doing their business publicly. Progressives are lying to the American people.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0063093626?pf_rd_r=F2HSAY31EYE6EV5KQK4D&pf_rd_p=8fe9b1d0-f378-4356-8bb8-cada7525eadd&pd_rd_r=d8fc4e5e-411e-413a-bcc4-c7e9700ef5d4&pd_rd_w=r9nFn&pd_rd_wg=CyRop&ref_=pd_gw_unk …

      Progressive lying about drugs is not a noble lie but rather a lie that contributed directly to the nearly 100,000 people who died, unnecessarily, of drug overdoses and drug poisonings in 2020. Progressive lying about drugs and the need to arrest dealers and addicts is deadly,

      Progressive & lazy journalists are as much to blame as George Soros, who spent tens of millions of dollars promoting the big lie about drug dealing. All any of them had to do to debunk the lie was interview Europeans or read this study:https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2458-14-853 …

      Ideology more than laziness explains why almost EVERYONE got drugs wrong, including me I worked for George Soros to decriminalize drugs in the 1990s Even so, I always thought drug treatment had to be a MANDATORY not voluntary alternative to prisonhttps://michaelshellenberger.substack.com/p/why-everything-we-thought-about-drugs …

      Saving the life of Jacqui’s son can be done immediately. This is not like expanding nuclear energy, which will require more than my lifetime to achieve. It can be done in a day. San Francisco mayor @LondonBreed simply needs to order the police to arrest Corey & the drug dealers

      It’s true that San Francisco’s progressive DA @chesaboudin might not prosecute, and that one of SF’s progressive judges might not sentence them. But simply arresting & jailing Corey will allow him to detox, and the dealers, here illegally from Honduras, can be deported by INS.

          All this requires is courage from @LondonBreed to do the right thing. The reward to her will be immediate: she will have saved Corey’s life. Yes, progressives will scream at her, and call her a racist. But they always do that, and by standing up to them Breed will attract support

          Next, Breed could take emergency action to require continued arrests by police of anyone caught using drugs publicly, camping publicly, defecating publicly, etc, followed by jail, detox, and sentencing to rehab. Breed could demand that Gov @GavinNewsom support her efforts

          Does this sound hard? Sure, there are logistical challenges, but they are manageable, just as they were in Lisbon, when the President sent in social workers and police to shut down the open heroin scene. They offered methadone and rehab, and then arrested those who refused.

          The alternative is that we continue to let drug dealers, here illegally, kill our children and fellow citizens, out of fear of standing up to the big progressive lie about drug addiction and drug dealing. I for one cannot stand by any longer as these murderous policies continue.

          Jacqui and I and other parents have decided to begin a campaign of nonviolent civil disobedience to demand that @LondonBreed shut down the murderous drug dealing in San Francisco We are going to hold a nonviolent “die in” in the Tenderloin where we will break laws in a protest

          We will coordinate with the Tenderloin Police Department @SFPDTenderloin to make sure that we and everyone else is safe. We are going to carry out civil disobedience as practiced in the long tradition begun by Henry David Thoreau, and developed by Gandhi and Martin Luther King.

          We have no other choice. We are desperate. Nothing we have done to date has worked to save Corey’s life. We held the first-ever protest of drug dealers in the Tenderloin in May, and have met with the politicians, some of whom even spoke at our protesthttps://www.sfweekly.com/news/san-franciscans-fed-up-with-fentanyl/ …

          HarperCollins published a book that my staff and I spent the last two years researching and writing. It’s on its way to becoming a best-seller. A signed and personalized copy was given directly to Mayor @LondonBreed week.

          And so Jacqui and I and other parents of children on the verge of being killed by murderous drug dealers are going to put our bodies on the line. We are going to lie down in ways that are illegal and will get us arrested in one of the most dangerous open drug scenes in America.
