Context of who I was responding and what they were saying is extremely important when reading. You should give it a try! Or do you enjoy making silly strawman attacks against things that were never said?

Try reading the parent I responded to once more - then my response. If it isn't clear how they correlate, focus especially on the closing sentences of the parent before reading my response to them. If still confused - press the "Panic!" button and I'll do my best to assist you.

I see the "Panic!" button was pressed. Do you require assistance?

I'm capable of reading, thanks.

Drug policy and private prisons are completely irrelevant. This dude operated a massive organized criminal enterprise, and was willing to kill to protect it.

Frankly, whether he was selling stolen stereos, cocaine or moon rocks isn't really relevant in the eyes of the law.

Apparently you aren't - seeing as your original response to me had absolutely nothing to do with what I and the parent were talking about and instead was a strawman attack against things that were never said.
