All you teens and adults in Ogden that buy illegal drugs are accomplices in the thousands of people murdered by drug dealers in Mexico. It's true that you're just a small part of the picture but your purchase of drugs smuggled into this country by drug dealers sends your money to the dealers and enables them to buy weapons and pay to have police officers and government officials in Mexico and South America killed. In plain English, you help them to kill these people by sending them money. You enable them to smuggle more drugs across our border, then sell the drugs to a user who commits crimes and kills people in this country.
Of course it is not you or your few dollars alone that does this. It is the thousands of people in this country that send millions of dollars to these killers in foreign countries. A U.S. Border Patrol Agent and an Arizona rancher were recently murdered by the drug dealers that your money supports. The rancher was murdered on his own property. The rancher and the Border Patrol Agent had wives and children, and the drug users in this country helped the drug smugglers kill the husbands and fathers of those families.
You can laugh at, ignore, or deny your responsibility in these killings, but you really are a part of it. If no one was buying the drugs there would be no money going South to the drug dealers. For you young people at least, think about it. You are an accomplice. Sleep well, and take a good close look at yourself in your bathroom mirror when you brush your teeth.
