These drug dealers know fully well that their business is against the law. They know the consequences of their criminal acts, especially when caught in flagrante delicto and they violently resist arrest. They know that illegal drugs waste away lives, dysfunctionalize families, and ruin relationships. They know that once hooked, addicts will die slowly—slow deaths. And yet, they persist in doing what they do, oblivious to the terrible harm that they cause to the people and communities. Why?
