Villain or Victim?
"I'm going to do more time than many violent, repeat offenders," he explained. "There isn't a single
victim in my case, no one who can stand up and say, 'I was hurt by Marc Emery.' No one."
He's right. Whatever else you may think of Emery -- and he grates on many people, what is happening here

"The more we enforce the drug war and send kids to jail, the more we enrich gangs and gang activity."
Why I'm Cutting A Deal
The more we enforce the drug war with jail time for young dealers, the more violence we manufacture. The more we enforce the drug war and send kids to jail, the more we enrich gangs and gang activity. When a young person recruited to a gang in prison gets after 6 months, a year or two years, he will then be expected to continue gang activities on the outside. The more we enforce the drug war with jail, the more gangsters and dangerous criminals we manufacture. Or rather, the politicians and police manufacture, as they are virtually the exclusive beneficiaries of the drug war - along with judges, jailers and top-level gangsters. In 2008, over 350 Vancouver police earned over $100,000 in overtime spent enforcing the drug war.
