Government agencies were interested in the property of this reclusive millionaire. A warrant was issued based on concocted “evidence” of supposed marijuana plantings, and a major raid was conducted with a 32-man assault team. Scott was shot to death in front of his wife. No drugs were found. A later official report found: “It is the District Attorney’s opinion that the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department was motivated, at least in part, by a desire to seize and forfeit the ranch for the government. Based in part upon the possibility of forfeiture, Spencer obtained a search warrant that was not supported by probable cause. This search warrant became Donald Scott’s death warrant.”
Derek Hale 25 years old Wilmington, Delaware November, 2006 A retired Marine Sergeant who served two tours in Iraq, was peacefully sitting on the front stoop of a house, when police in unmarked cars who had him under surveillance (believing based on his acquaintances that he might be part of a narcotics ring) pulled up and tasered him three times, causing him to go into convulsions and throw up. Because he had not gotten his hand free from his jacket quickly enough (while convulsing) an officer then shot him point blank in the chest with three .40 caliber rounds. Hale’s widow has filed a civil lawsuit.

Exactly. I live in texas, one of the states with the one of the biggest budgets in the prison industry. The state dosent even run some of our prisons now. We have a few other corporations that actually run some of the prisons. We got the GEO corp and also the Correctional Centers of America running more than just a few now. TDCJ problably only runs not even 45% of our prisons here.
About the gangs to. I know that most of the violence is over drugs. Living in a big city or the surroundings, you can tell pretty fast what the gangs are really about. Money and drugs, and violence is a by-product of both.

Everyday people die due to drug activity. Down here in Dallas, theres a murder everynight, if not more and it usually involves a robbery where someone wants money to spend on some kind of drug.
I just cant understand why the state would ruin someones life for just doing something of their own choice and putting it in their own body that dosent affect anyone else.
