The War on Drugs Comes Home
Two military helicopters swooped into the domestic drug war on August
4, called in by Kamloops RCMP to assist in spotting hidden fields of
Kootenay Gold. The four day operation netted about 2,000 plants
and only one arrest, putting the tiniest of tiny dents into the marijuana
machine that is BC's fertile interior.
The cops seemed to have fun flying around in the army choppers, and are
looking forward to having military participation in other domestic
operations. Apparently someone realized that sending our boys overseas to
oppress the locals is so much more expensive than simply putting them to
work oppressing the folks at home.
