Chicago knows how to do it...

Eliminate the root of all evil, those little bags..

I highlighted who they are REALLY after. Forget the criminals...they aren't at fault.

I also highlighted another excellent tidbit of info about the dangers of these things.

The comments in Italics in () are mine.

Oh, and notice the very last line. I highlighted it because it is important!

They already have some of the strictest gun laws that aren't working. I bet the criminals will be turning in the little baggies in the droves after this, though.

Just one more way to control the masses.

Wake up, America!

City may ban little baggies
COUNCIL | They're 'Marketing 101' for drug dealers, cop says

Tiny plastic bags used to sell small quantities of heroin, crack cocaine, marijuana and other drugs would be banned in Chicago, under a crackdown advanced Tuesday by a City Council committee.

Ald. Robert Fioretti (2nd) persuaded the Health Committee to ban possession of "self-sealing plastic bags under two inches in either height or width," after picking up 15 of the bags on a recent Sunday afternoon stroll through a West Side park.

Lt. Kevin Navarro, commanding officer of the Chicago Police Department's Narcotics and Gang Unit, said the ordinance will be an "important tool" to go after grocery stores, health food stores and other businesses. The bags are used by the thousand to sell small quantities of drugs at $10 or $20 a bag.

Navarro referred to the plastic bags as "Marketing 101 for the drug dealers." Many of them have symbols, allowing drug users to ask for "Superman" or "Blue Dolphin" instead of the drug itself, he said.

Prior to the final vote, Ald. Walter Burnett (27th) expressed concern about arresting innocent people. He noted that extra buttons that come with suits, shirts and blouses -- and jewelry that's been repaired -- come in similar plastic bags.

Burnett was reassured by language that states "one reasonably should know that such items will be or are being used" to package, transfer, deliver or store a controlled substance. Violators would be punished by a $1,500 fine. (I have no idea what exactly this means, or where there are any reassurances to innocent people)

Health Committee Chairman Ed Smith (28th) said the ban is part of a desperate effort to stop what he called "the most destructive force" in Chicago neighborhoods. (Hmmm...I thought guns were. Oh, wait, they are banned here. Apparently gun crime has been completely eliminated in Chicago, so the next worst thing is little baggies. No mention of criminals. Who is the "most destructive force"? You got it, MORONS who push STUPID LAWS)

"We need to use every measure that we possibly can to stop it because it is destroying our kids," he said.

Chicago is now behind the times. The best defense is an early offense. Felons can't have guns and certain rights are taken away. How is this best accomplished?

At an early age, of course. These are your schools, and what is happening.

Just a few.

But I'm sure this has nothing to do with controlling society. I wear a tinfoil hat cause it's so damn sexy!
