>>THE UNITED STATES JUST EXPERIENCED THE LARGEST PRISONER
RELEASE IN HISTORY, LOW-LEVEL DRUG OFFENDERS HAVE BEEN
RELEASED BACK INTO THE PUBLIC.
THIS DOES NOT IMPLY THAT THEY
OPENED UP THE GATE AND STARTED SHOOING PEOPLE OUT, THEY ARE
PUTTING THEM IN HALFWAY HOMES, MANY HAVE ALREADY BEEN IN JAIL
FOR SIX MONTHS OR YEARS AT THIS POINT, BUT MANY ARE BEING
RELEASED.
SOME PEOPLE ARE PISSED, AND ONE OF THEM IS BILL O'REILLY.
HE HAS A DIFFERENT SOLUTION FOR THE GLUT OF NONVIOLENT LOW-LEVEL
DRUG OFFENDERS WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN PRISONS THROUGHOUT THE U.S.
>> IN SINGAPORE THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM.
WHY?
THEY HANG THEM.
>>WE'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT SUGGESTING THAT AS THE ANSWER.
>>SINGAPORE AT ONE TIME HAD THE MOST PERNICIOUS OPIUM PROBLEM,
IT DESTROYED THEIR ENTIRE SOCIETY.
THEY SAID, YOU KNOW
WHAT?
WE WILL NOT HAVE THIS ANYMORE.
THAT IS WHAT THEY DID.
BINGO, NO DRUG PROBLEM.
>>IN AUSTRALIA THEY HAD A GUN PROBLEM, THEY TOOK AWAY ALL THE
GUNS.
WE'RE NOT DOING THAT.
>>THEY'RE GOING TO GO OUT AND COMMIT MORE CRIMES.
>>HERE IS THE SOLUTION IF PEOPLE HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM AND
THEY ARE ADDICTED TO SOMETHING AND THEY NEED HELP, SHOOT
THEM AND YOU WON'T HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM ANYMORE.
>>DON'T EVEN WASTE THE AMMO, HANG THEM RIGHT THERE.
IT IS
HILARIOUS, BECAUSE OTHER COUNTRIES DO THIS.
I HAVE TOLD
THE STORY ABOUT WHEN I ARRIVED IN EGYPT, THEY HAVE A SIGN
WITH THE SYMBOL FOR DRUGS AND THE SYMBOL OF SOMEBODY BEING
HUNG.
YOU KNOW NOT TO SELL DRUGS THERE.
NOT EXACTLY SOMETHING WE SHOULD EMULATE.
>>WHY DO WE HAVE A WAR ON DRUGS?
WHAT WAS THE ENTIRE PURPOSE?
>>TO SAVE AMERICA'S YOUTH.
>>THAT IS PART OF IT.
YOU WANT TO PROTECT AMERICANS,
PEOPLE IN GENERAL, RIGHT, FROM DRUG ABUSE.
BECAUSE DRUGS WILL
RUIN THEIR LIVES.
IT WILL EAT AWAY AT THEM, THEY CAN'T BE
PRODUCTIVE MEMBERS OF SOCIETY.
IN ESSENCE, THE WAR ON DRUGS WAS
SOLD TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS AN EFFORT TO PROTECT PEOPLE.
AND
BILL O'REILLY, WHO IS A HUGE ADVOCATE FOR THE WAR ON DRUGS,
WHICH WAS A HUGE, FAILED POLICY, CONTINUES TO BE ONE, IS SAYING
HE WANTS TO PROTECT AMERICANS BY KILLING THEM IF THEY HAVE AN
ADDICTION PROBLEM.
I MEAN, HOW CAN YOU WATCH THIS MAN'S SHOW
AND TAKE ANYTHING HE SAYS SERIOUSLY?
EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, HOW CAN YOU LOOK AT THAT GRAPHIC
BEHIND US AND NOT CRACK UP?
>>GOOD JOB, GRAPHICS DEPARTMENT.
THERE WAS ONE PERSON ON THE
SHOW, THIS BROKE MY HEART, HE IS SAYING, YEP.
THEY ARE NOT JUST
SELLING DIME BAGS, THEY ARE COMMITTING MORE CRIMES.
THERE
PROBABLY WILL BE SOME RECIDIVISM, BECAUSE WHEN YOU PUT
PEOPLE IN JAIL FOR BULLSHIT CRIMES THAT DON'T DO ANY DAMAGE
TO ANYONE, THEY GET HARDENED IN PRISON MAYBE AND GO OUT AND
COMMIT MORE CRIMES.
THAT IS WHY WE DON'T JUST RELEASE THEM INTO
THE INNER CITY, WE PUT THEM IN HALFWAY HOMES.
>>ANOTHER REASON THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO COMMIT CRIMES IS NOT
ONLY DO THEY BECOME HARDENED CRIMINALS IN OUR QUESTIONABLE
PRISON SYSTEM, THEY BECOME CONVICTED FELONS WHO CANNOT
GET JOBS, NOBODY WILL HIRE THEM.
>> OBAMA TODAY CAME OUT AGAINST CHECKING THE BOX WHERE YOU
SAY YOU ARE CONVICTED FELON.
>>I'M GLAD HE WAITED UNTIL THE LAST YEAR OF HIS PRESIDENCY.
>> THAT WAS DISAPPOINTING, SHE OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT WANT TO PASS
OFF BILL O'REILLY.
I LIKE THAT THEY HAD A DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST
WHO SAID THEY ALSO TOOK AWAY ALL THE GUNS, BUT HE IS NOT
ADVOCATING FOR THAT.
HE'S PICKING AND CHOOSING.
I DID A
LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH INTO SINGAPORE'S POLICY OF KILLING
LOW-LEVEL OFFENDERS.
I LOOKED AT THE NUMBERS FOR MARIJUANA, AND
THE DEATH PENALTY WAS IF YOU HAD 500 GRAMS OF MARIJUANA, WHICH I HAVE
HEARD IS A LARGE AMOUNT.
IT IS NOT A JOINT, OR A DIME BAG --
WHATEVER YOU WANT TO SAY.
IT WAS A VERY LARGE AMOUNT.
THE IDEA
THAT WE WOULD IMPORT THAT WITHOUT ANY FURTHER THOUGHT, AND
HE IS SAYING HE'S NOT ACTUALLY ADVOCATING FOR IT, HE SAYS LOOK,
MAYBE THEY HAVE SOMETHING.
MAYBE WE SHOULD KILL THEM.
IF YOU DID
KILL PEOPLE FOR SELLING A JOINT, IT WOULD LOWER THE AMOUNT OF
DRUGS PROBABLY.
THERE WOULD STILL BE DRUGS ON THE BLACK
MARKET BUT IT WOULD LOWER IT.
SO WHY NOT DO IT FOR EVERYTHING?
IF YOU JAYWALK, SHOOT YOU IN THE STREET.
>>IF YOU BREAK ANY LAW, THAT'S IT.
>>IF YOU WANT PEOPLE TO ACT RIGHT, LET'S FUCKING KILL THEM
IF THEY BREAK THE LAW.
HE DOESN'T WANT THAT.
WHY DON'T WE
JUST FUCKING KILL YOU IF YOU DO ANYTHING WRONG?
>> IT SHOWS I THINK THE MINDSET THAT BILL O'REILLY HAS WHEN IT
COMES TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
HIS THOUGHT IS, BECAUSE I
LISTENED TO THE WHOLE SEGMENT, THESE GUYS HAVE TO BE VIOLENT,
THESE DRUG DEALERS, BECAUSE THEY ARE PROTECTING THEIR PRODUCT,
FIGHTING THEIR GANG WARS.
HE DOESN'T REALIZE THAT THERE ARE
PEOPLE CALLED DRUG DEALERS THAT EXIST ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES, WHITE
GUYS, EVERY RACE, ASIAN GUYS, BLACK GUYS, LATINOS, THERE ARE
DRUG DEALERS OF ALL KINDS BECAUSE THEY CAN MAKE MONEY.
AND
THE REASON THEY CAN MAKE MONEY IS BECAUSE THE SHIT IS ILLEGAL,
AND THE REASON VIOLENCE COMES UP IS BECAUSE THE SHIT IS ILLEGAL.
VIOLENCE BROKE OUT WHEN ALCOHOL WAS ILLEGAL.
COORS AND BUDWEISER
ARE NOT SHOOTING EACH OTHER ANYMORE, THEY ARE JUST
PUTTING IT ON TV TO SELL IT.
>>AREN'T THERE ALCOHOL DEALERS ON EVERY STREET CORNER?
TRYING TO SLING THAT ALCOHOL.
>>IT IS THIS MINDSET OF WHO HE IS HANGING ARE NOT THE KIDS AT
CAL STATE OR MIT THAT ARE SELLING THIS SHIT TO THESE KIDS.
>>YOU HAD TO MENTION CAL STATE?
WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?
WHAT ABOUT USC?
>>THERE ARE NO DRUG DEALERS AT USC.
>>I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT USC, OBVIOUSLY.
WHEN A BANKER DOES A
LINE OF COKE OFF A STRIPPER'S ASS, IS HE GETTING IT IN THE
HOOD?
HE IS GETTING IT FROM SOME WHITE PERSON IN A SUIT.
IF YOU
GO TO THE FACES OF METH, I'LL GIVE YOU A PREVIEW OF WHAT YOU
WILL SEE.
PHOTOSHOP SOME HOLES ONTO MY FACE, THAT IS THE FACES
OF METH.
WITH A LITTLE BIT LESS HAIR AND LESS TEETH.
IT IS NOT
ALL POOR PEOPLE, BLACK PEOPLE.
PEOPLE SELLING OXYCONTIN AND
STUFF, THAT IS INCREDIBLY POPULAR, WE DON'T HANG YOU FOR
IT.
