$4.1 million isn't enough for what the idiots at the DEA did to this completely innocent kid. It's far past time to stop having stupid "wars" against things (drugs), tactics (terror), and other complete wastes of time and money.

18,000 Ecstacy pills?
It's a fair settlement. He's alive, no lasting damage and $1 million a day. This is more a case of sloppy administrative duties then evil intent

It's a case of another insane waste of money by the government as they wage war on something that isn't even fighting them.

That statement makes no sense whatsoever. Are you saying they shouldn't have settled with the guy? Or shouldn't they have raided the house with 18,000 X pills?

he is clearly not quite sure where he stands on anything tonight

I agree about the failure of the war on drugs in general, but 18,000 x pills?

He was carving out "sorry mom" he clearly was involved. Just not sure why they would have left him in there... It had to be an oversight by someone...

Even if you aren´t going to give the DEA credit for the least bit of human decency, at least acknowlege fear of litigation. There is no way this was anything but a huge screwup/oversight.

Not sure how it's hard to understand that the concept of the DEA, and specifically the "war" on drugs, is asinine on the face of it and a huge waste of time/money. This kid did nothing wrong and was nearly left to die by the incompetent boobs who are fighting a war on things instead of actual enemies.

[Purple Haize]

They are incompetent which is why they paid the guy $1 million plus a day. Not sure what that affect has on the DEA.
Of corse I'm sure there was nothing else illegal going on with 18,000 pills of X in the house...
