Your post shows a complete lack of understanding of drug-war
induced black-market dynamics, which have been well known ever
since the alcohol prohibition era. If you exclude black-market
violence from drug-war casualties, you completely misplace blame.
By implying that drug violence is the fault of the drug
criminals, and not the drug war, you speak just like a
prohibitionist. Bottom line: without drug prohibition you have no
black market violence. And since most crime today is drug
related, MOST crime is CAUSED by drug prohibition - and would go
away upon elimination of drug prohibition. Stop blaming the wrong
people and sustaining the drug war!

{American jurors have complete Constitutional authority to vote
"not guilty" based on nothing more than a disagreement with the
case, no matter the evidence - despite the judge's instructions.
There is absolutely no obligation to vote "guilty" to arrive at a
unanimous verdict. Get on a jury, stand your ground, and fulfill
its other main purpose: to counteract abusive government and
unjust lawsuits.

Of course I guess Eric could argue that most of those deaths are
due
to drug dealers killing drug dealers and users and users killing
drug
dealers, robbers killing drug dealers etc. I agree with you a lot
but
as the young drug dealer ask in the HBO show The Wire, "Why are
we
always killing each other" most of them could be more civil
