Dealing with drugs

From Kompas

It is sad to learn from the print and electronic media how drug abuse has spread so widely in the country in just a short time. Even elementary school students in a small town like Anyer have been drawn to drugs.

What will happen to our children, on whom the nation pins its hopes in the future. The government and police must take strict action against drug pushers and eliminate them in the real sense of the word.

There are two categories of drug abusers. First drug dealers, including retailers sellers and distributors. These people must never be shown any leniency. If they try to escape or resist arrest, just shoot them to death. If they are only wounded, the government will have to spend money for their medical care and to feed them and detain them. Why not just shoot them to death? There is no use allowing these people to live because they will only ruin our younger generations.

The second category of drug abusers comprises drug users who can prove their willingness to break free from their drug addiction. These people must be treated.

However, there are some drug users who only pretend to cut all links with drug abuse, but unfortunately their behavior indicates otherwise. These people must be sent to a remote and isolated island. Here they can use drugs to their hearts content until they can't get up anymore for ever. If these people disappeared, the Indonesian population of some 200 million people would lose virtually nothing.
