Crazy Sheriff Proposes "Normandy" Style Anti-Drug Invasion
If you can think of a stupid idea, you can find a drug warrior who agrees with it. Today's example comes courtesy of Sheriff Victor Hill in Clayton County, GA, whose frustration with the failing drug war has driven him over the edge:
Who, other than Sheriff Hill and his cavalry, wants a Normandy Invasion in their community? It should never be necessary to explain that the job of police is to make the neighborhood not a warzone. To even suggest that our domestic drug war should be fought like Vietnam is to fail the most basic litmus test regarding one's qualifications to protect the safety of the public.
The remarkable irony here, however, is that Sheriff Hill is right. If we want to "win" this war on drugs, we must jettison our Bill of Rights and occupy every square block from coast to coast. Ubiquitous checkpoints, widespread urine collection, and systematic door-to-door drug raids are just the beginning if we wish to make even a small dent in the massive ongoing hashbash these hippies insist on throwing every goddamn day.
With all this in mind, I nominate Sheriff Victor Hill to be the next Drug Czar. His candid assessment will advance the drug policy debate dramatically, probably to a point at which everyday people recognize the absurdity of all this and demand an end to this whole stupid war, lest the people calling for a Normandy Invasion should eventually get their way.
Hill said the conventional method of warrants and arrests are not working, and that military-like occupation of deputies is necessary.I swear, one need only place a microphone before the frothing mouths of these drug war lunatics and they will reveal beyond ambiguity just how far removed they are from understanding why it is that they've been asked to do this in the first place.

"The war on drugs in Clayton County, as in most jurisdictions, I liken it to the Vietnam War," Hill said. "Hit and miss, there is no clear win â we donât know if weâre gaining ground or not. What we want to do is we want to change our strategy. We want to make this more like a Normandy invasion." [11Alive.com]
