Communist Vietnam, Where the Cure Is Worse than the Disease

While the lily-livered, pie-in-the-sky bleeding hearts infesting that whore-ridden Babylon formerly known as California do their damndest to drag American values of decency, morality and piousness into the septic tank by openly considering the decriminalization of marijuana, it falls upon the so-called Third World to demonstrate how stoners, dope fiends, potheads and druggies of all shades ought properly to be handled.

578 addicts escape from rehab center in Vietnam

The Associated Press, 05/17/2010

Nearly 600 inmates in a Vietnamese drug rehabilitation camp overpowered security guards and escaped, an official said Monday. At least two-thirds of them were still at large.

Trinh Vuong Thuan, a security official at the rehabilitation center No. 2 in the northern port city of Haiphong, said 578 inmates overpowered security guards to break through the center’s gates on Sunday.

Vietnam’s strict laws on drugs allow the government to order addicts held for up to two years in rehabilitation centers, many of them boot-camp-style camps that include hard labor and communist “ideological education.”

In other news, Trinh Vuong Thuan, a security official at the rehabilitation center No. 2 in the northern port city of Haiphong, was sentenced to rehabilitation by drawing and quartering on Tuesday.
