Trump speaks about the death penalty for drug traffickers

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Chivis Martinez for Borderland Beat

A couple of time in the past few months President Donald Trump has thrown out the idea of the death penalty being imposed on drug traffickers and he said it at a Saturday, to an jam packed crowd in Moon Township Pennsylvania.


He isn’t sure how the American public feels about the possibility saying; ‘I have never polled that, I don’t know if that’s popular. I don’t know if that’s unpopular. Probably you’ll have some people who say ‘Oh that’s not nice’, Trump said, ‘But these people are killing our kids and killing our families! And we have to do something.’


‘Think of it, you kill one person you get the death penalty, in many states,” Trump said,  ‘You kill 5,000 people with drugs, because you’re smuggling them in and you’re making a lot of money, and people are dying and they don’t even do anything,’ he continued.

Well, it isn’t as though “they” are not doing anything, hardworking agents conduct the investigations, and bring traffickers to face justice, and it is there that everything goes to hell in a hand-basket.  It is deal time and 95 percent of federal cases are settled with a deal.  If only trials were pushed and allow juries to determine the fate, true justice could be attained.

As it is now, some vile defendants cut a deal and will be able to again join society.


Perhaps, if harsh punishments, in place of sweet deals were the norm, Trump would not have to even think about the death penalty.


In states such as  Florida capital punishment for capital drug trafficking does exist, even without homicide charges.


However, with many drug traffickers extradited from Mexico, the extradition comes with an agreed caveat, “no capital punishment”.


So, in the case of Mexican traffickers, it would seem this would be irrelevant.
