Inside Story Americas - Honduras turns deadly

[Kanja111]

blah blah blah how many of you actually live here and are FROM here? Ignorant...shit "this isn't about the US"...It's all about the target market:USA. How nice it must be to talk about a country you opress and know nothing about.

[Odraciralot]

@RedGunBullets Coke is indeed legal in Portugal, and they have not encountered problems like this, so why can't all drugs be legal the world over? What causes all the problems is not drugs, but the corruption of the government by a big business (any big business) with violent enforcers.

[tumaieslaflaca]

@Bander1 in response to your later comments, real life unfortunately isn't a call of duty game.

[tumaieslaflaca]

@Bander1 "most laziest" is it me or is the word most not really necessary? Anyways you must be really butt hurt to state that all 8 million people born in a specific piece of land are "the most laziest and most criminal", just because of being born in said region, that or your from those towns where mommy and daddy are cousins

Fascist governments give billions to their buttbuddies for the war on drugs; companies like DynCorp, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and ITT. Look up which private equity firms have most of the shares in those companies. You run in to a firm like Cerberus with guys like former U.S. V.P Dan Quayle and John W. Snow (Bush Sr.'s second Treasury Secretary) running the business. These are the guys who have put their thumb on the war on drugs in politics and are now filling their pockets with bloodmoney.

One reason is that 16 states now allow the sale of “medical” marijuana, which is widely consumed for only recreational use. The massive resale of such pot across state borders forced the Justice Department to start enforcing the federal ban on marijuana production and sale this year.

POLITICAL instability in Honduras has been going on for over 50 years. Murders have been rampant for 50 years, NOT 5 years. To ask is there is corruption in the government, military and police, would be silly.Nixon's War on drugs and the continued refusal of the US, to legalize drugs has increased the domestic and international murder rate. and caused political instability and corruption in the US and in Central & South America.

It ensures we feed substantial tax dollars to our military.

[Organnabis]

How about legalizing drugs? More troops, more cops = more money, more violence. Take the money out of the industry and legalize drugs, so they can be regulated (kept off the streets) and taxed like other drugs (tobacco and alcohol).

[RedGunBullets]

@Organnabis your an idiot, regulate and tax the drugs in the hands of miliatary style drug cartels who fight the mexican army and police for more then a dacade? and its not a Cannabis thing, its cocain and heroin, and its not a consumer thing, the issue in Honduras is NOT to many people are in jail becouse of drug use!! but the heavy armed and violent cartels traffacing through, i say again >through< honduras and not its use in honduras itself, you have to fight the cartels

[Organnabis]

@RedGunBullets Actually, you are the idiot. Where do all these drugs go? The USA, right? If we legalized here, the price would plummet...and cartels would make a lot less money. It's not a Cannabis thing? Really? Over 70% of the cartels income is from marijuana. Is there more pot use in the US than Cocaine or Heroin use? Hell no, not even close. I know all this is way over your head, but do yourself a favor and actually learn about something before you comment.

[RedGunBullets]

@Organnabis

this is about honduras not USA, and cartels won't stop becouse they make less cash (60% is cannabis not 70%), nobody (and for good) on earth will legalize heroin or cocain or crystal meth = so, so long its profitable so long they will make money they ther will be no "hey guys no we make 3,5 billion not 7 billion, lets quit", you can't out-tax already illigal heavy miliatry style armed groups, that whipe out whole police stations in some places you have to fight them

[Organnabis]

@RedGunBullets All the more reason to legalize drugs....make that 3.5 billion into 3.5 million. More of the same is just that. We've been "fighting" the war on drugs and it obviously doesn't work. 40 years of "fighting" and there are more drugs than ever on our streets, so great strategy brother. Do a little research on prohibition and get back to me.

[navtel]

anyone from the bush administration should be in jail.

[TheRightDecision]

This is great!

[blunt1984]

This is the Colombian model all over again.  The US government supports a right-wing regime in the name of "fighting drug traffickers". The regime in turn supports right-wing paramilitaries to fight the "the drug trade".

But in reality, the right-wing paramilitaries are actually involved in the drug trade, and mostly kill civilians opposed to the regime, just to make sure the country is free for multinational corporate exploitation.

It's not about drugs, it's about protecting capitalism.

[3ratones]

****ing junkie gringos! We have that corrupt, decadent, drug-addicted american society to blame, disgusting

I know a lot of American farmers would love to grow billions of dollars worth of weed and sell right here in America without causing all this violence and death in our neighboring countries. "It is not true that the function of law is to regulate our conciousness, our ideas, our wills, our education, our opinions, our work, our trade, our talents or our pleasures. The function of law is to protect our free excersise of these rights." ~ Frederic Bastait Prohibition causes greed and violence.

Join the 'Thrive' movement! What on earth will it take?

[Bander1]

If you want to see how these human rights mutherfuckers are hypochrites themselves and are funded by teh cartels...

Watch Elite Squad...

[Bander1]

I suspect that the world human rights groups are funded by world dictators and criminal organizations because it seems that the only people that the human rights groups seem to effectively protect are criminals, mass murderers and dictators...

We do not have a real human rights org. in the world all of them are hypochrites, frauds and corrupt motherfuckers.

[Bander1]

well how do you defeat the crime rate in Honduras...simple...strike hard...mobilize the military...go after the leaders and bank accounts, destroy their bases. You make the criminals deaf, dumb and blind...destroy their supply sources, cut the heads of the snakes...the heads may grow back with new leaders but their orgs will be disrupted...while they are disrupted...you keep on the attack and smash them...Very simple.

These human rights idiots DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING...

[jcost2012]

How do they not have money for food or anything else but somehow magically have guns and bullets

[DrogBajorge]

@jcost2012 Drug money, they steal them, etc

[Bander1]

well I can tell you right now, that there is a reason why we deported all those honduran refugees in the late 90s...the honduran refugees get asylum in Vancouver, and what do they do???

Many of them become drug dealers and criminals.

And I believe that the Hondurans are the most laziest and most criminal of all the central american peoples...just ask a Nicaraguan, Guatamalan and a El Salvadoran,...they will all agree Hondurans are all garbage.

[daviddehoyos]

@Bander1 you have to really look at the mirror and remind yourself of your ancestors. try to forgive yourself for being racist. patriotism brainwashed you...
