Butt cocaine kills

Here is a KMBC story that is too bizarre for me:


A South Carolina man's brother died after police said he was forced to eat cocaine hidden in his brother's backside (butt).

Both brothers were taken into custody on allegations they had drugs in their car.

But police told Charleston, S.C., TV station WCIV there were additional drugs hidden in 23-year-old Deangelo Mitchell's backside (butt).

Officers said Deangelo Mitchell convinced his brother, 20-year-old Wayne Mitchell, to swallow the ounce of cocaine to hide the evidence. He died soon afterward.

"It's sickening," North Charleston Police Chief Jon Zumalt told WCIV. "I got upset when I saw the thing. I was pretty shocked on it."

Deangelo Mitchell already bonded out of jail on the drug charge, but now police are looking for him again on charges of involuntary manslaughter.

Drugs: a danger and pollutant

The US war on terror is now increasingly focused on water and underwater invasions. Not only are terrorists being viewed as a threat, but drug traffickers, long users of boats for trafficking, are also using submarines in murky water to access the states. So, the submarines are quiet and not visible by regular observation. While these drugs are moving in our waters, they are also polluting everyone's water. Whenever the traffickers dump their tons of cargo for security reasons, our fish and water become polluted and anyone using them will be exposed.
While we spend billions to decrease US drug activity, the users of these drugs must also be held accountable for the huge financial and societal costs. Without user demand, the drug-related problems would decrease.
