Last January I mentioned Clayton Helriggle, a young man killed in a drug raid - he wasn't a drug dealer, or a criminal of any sort. Just another innocent bystander. A couple of days ago this comment was left on that old post:
Clayton was my son. What a wonderful young man, killed in his prime - still searching to find himself. We know that Clayton did not have a gun and will continue to fight to prove it. The police had no evidence to go on...and we will prove that it was a vendeta.
Two years have passed, we are still standing and fighting. The corruption in our justice (injustice) system is sickening. We have not found yet how far reaching it is. Cops cover cops, lawyers cover lawyers, doctors cover doctors - as I was told by my own attorney. Is there any honor left in our government? It appears that there is not.

I'm touched that she felt it fitting to leave her thoughts here. I don't have any personal insight into the case, other than the drug war is worse than useless, and her son died because of it.

I understand that Libertarians think that drugs should be legal and the drug subject seems to be one of the main subjects of Libertarian topics.
I'm afraid that the Republican party (of which I'm registered) is starting to become too 'Big Tent', and the Democrats are obviously, extremely wacko.
I would like a good, clean bulleted list of the Liberatrian's views so that I may compare.
