So, first, I obviously just want to say I'm sorry that you have lost friends and/or family to drugs. That's terrible and its tough for anyone to go through. I can't speak as of now to the feelings of losing a loved one personally, but I know people who have gone through that themselves and its just terrible.

If the day comes when I do lose a friend to drugs, I will not change my position though. A principle shouldn't be compromised just because I'm sad at the fact that a loved one could possibly die from their decisions. Its none of my business, its THEIR life, their decisions.

Also, stealing is already a crime, and violates the property rights of an individual, something I was actually going to get to related to the no-knocks. So someone on drugs who steals something is just as criminal as someone sober who steals something and I don't believe in outlawing drugs and compromising self-ownership to prevent theft, especially because government should never be in the prevention business.

I don't have the attitude of "fuck the police" because I don't think that's fair to the very very few libertarian cops who are out there truly serving their community, not pulling people over for speeding but actually being their to stop crime or catch criminals. But I am of the attitude that what police have become in this country is fucking ridiculous. The majority these days are thugs who are given an insane amount of power and have absolutely no idea about the constitution or the bill of rights, let alone any idea of what government should be doing morally speaking which is very little.

It felt like a violation because that's exactly what it was. If I ran a bar, especially in one of the deadliest cities, I would have a nice AR or shotgun under that counter. And if a gang, like an actual violent biker gang or something like that, came through the door with guns a blazing, I would defend myself and my property. How are the cops any different in that situation? They are not.

And let's say I didn't have a gun, I would call the cops!! The government shouldn't be allowed to do something that I would normally call the government to come stop!! Does that make sense? I may be saying it in a confusing way.
