Drug war a tremendous success!

Huge Mexican heroin ring raided
Authorities arrested 48 members of the so-called Mendoza family, seized 20 kilos of heroin and $100,000 in cash during the early morning raids, officials said.

WOOO!!! Yeah! Take that drugs! 20 kilos! $100,000 in cash! Good luck making that up, motherfuckers!
The raids capped a seven-month investigation by immigration officials, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the L.A. County Sheriff's Department...

Wow! 7 months of investigation! Cooperation between Immigration, DEA, and LASD! We're kickin' your asses drug lords!
...into a ring that allegedly made $2 million a month selling heroin in suburban L.A. County as well as Ventura and San Diego counties.

Wait? $2 million a month? They only caught them with $100,000. Oh, well, you know, they were doing this for a scant 7 months, and then, BAM! SHUT DOWN! Take that drugs! You may have made 14 million dollars during the investigation, but not any more, you sons of bitches!
On March 12, a federal grand jury indicted the 48 members of the Mendoza family...

YEAH! ROCK AND ROLL! Shut those fuckers down! 48 rats down the hole!
...who authorities said had arranged to smuggle large amounts of black tar heroin into the Los Angeles area from Mexico for the last 15 to 20 years.

Wait what? These 48 members of this drug "family" pulled in up to $480 million dollars smuggling drugs into our country, and selling them for up to 20 years?!

Well, at least this will take black tar heroin off the streets for a bit.

No?

Well, at least the gap left by shutting down these drug peddlers won't be instantly filled by another merchant of death.

Really?

Well, at least they got $100,000 out of the drug cartels' hands. It's not like the illegal drug trade likely nets billions a year.

Oh...

So this raid is barely a blip on a blip in the tremendous failure of the war on drugs?

Ahh.

Well, at least the fight is worth it, right?

Oh no...
