The violence was initiated by the state, a long time ago, in a "War on Drugs"-policy.
A "divide and rule"-tool to get citizens divided, so the tip of the pyramid scheme can skim the cream off the top and get richer and richer...
These kind of "divide and rule"-schemes are being set up all over the world, but nowhere is it more prolific/clear/visible than in the USA.
Demoncrats/Repugnicons? All the same cabal...
They go to the same parties.
The only difference is the people whose votes they are trying to buy...
The War on Drugs means that "certain people" are disproportionately controlled, rounded up, sentenced, charged and locked up for what you consider normal.
It also means that "certain neighborhoods" are disproportionately policed, invaded, controlled, and imposed upon by your state/local government/authorities.
It's time to end the dumb laws that leads to this situation.

Usually in debates like in these in the comments sections, it doesn't take long for the emotional argumentation and logical fallacies to set in.
For example, the "...but if we hadn't bombed city centers, how much stronger would Germany have been?"
Easy answer? Not much.
Historians who have studied air warfare in WW2 have already concluded this long ago.
For example Munsen, Kenneth/German Aircraft of WW2 ISBN 623.74'6'0943 p. 13
"It has been estimated that Allied raids between mid-1943 and early-1945 cost the Luftwaffe some 18,000 aircraft in lost production. On the other hand, if these aircraft had been received, shortages of aircrew, fuel, and munitions would have severely limited their effective use."
[End of quote]
It was not as much the bombing which limited German industry, but the lack of resources, especially oil.
Every raid, and every sortie flown in excess of what was really necessary against a few key industries (again, esp. oil targets), was a waste of Allied airmen and a waste of own resources.
Every bomber downed with the intent to kill "Oma Schickelgruber" who was ostensibly "in the way of valid targets", an exposed lie, was a needless waste of own lives.
Every Allied soldier sent to "save Stalin", was equally wasted.
The price for such folly would be paid after the war.

OK.
So if you're overweight, and have a heart attack, pay your own hospital bills..
If you're driving drunk, and have an accident, pay your own hospital bills..
If you have a dangerous hobby, and end up in trouble, pay your own hospital bills..
So if you play too much video games and collapse of exhaustion, pay your own hospital bills.
If you swim in rough seas, and need to be saved, pay your own hospital bills.
If you cycle in traffic and get hit by a car, pay your own hospital bills.
If you overdose on opiods, pay your own hospital bills.
Dangerous slippery slope there.
