Six students were hauled off Manhattan College’s Bronx campus in handcuffs early yesterday to face drug charges, officials said. A month-long NYPD investigation culminated in several search warrants being executed at the Catholic school in Riverdale between 6 and 7 a.m., cops said. The students “were placed on involuntary leave,” a school spokesman said. Cops identified the suspects as <<six names redacted by request>>
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX are facing felony charges, cops said.

Even before this, I was against the pseudo “war on drugs”. Sad that these people’s lives are now ruined. For what. For the gooferment’s ability to tell people what they can put in their body?

Update: I heard from one of the fellows and he asked me to drop the names. He’s moved on with his life and wants to turn the page. I concur whole heartedly. When will we send the politicians a message. Drugs are a medical problem not a legal one. No one has the right to dictate to another human being what they can or can’t put in their own body. People have to be free. Mistakes will happen. People will make bad choices. So what. The disasters as a result of the gooferment’s phony war on drugs far exceeds the drug problem itself. Good luck to these fellows.
