"If one of my children became a victim of these drug dealers, they would surely die very violently, and I would show no mercy even if one tried to surrender"

That's a very naive statement Dave, have you ever actually dealt with any of these people? You have my absolute assurance, based on personal experience, that the REAL drug dealers, the invisible ones who control the front-men that you and I see around the place, do not give a flying fuck about anyone's lives but their own, and they are very capable indeed of taking yours and mine should we seek to interfere with business.

Leave law enforcement to the official agencies - this is good advice.
