Crimson says, "the College—and, in a broader sense, the U.S. government—must do everything in their power to ensure the safety of the individuals they exist to protect." Few elected officials would agree that they are focused on protecting individuals. They are primarily focused on getting re-elected. Police are not obligated to stop crime. Like prosecutors and judges police have discretion. Citizens must protect themselves from government which treats citizens as enemies. Why else do politicians lie so often to voters? As for Harvard, when in loco parentis died didn't the obligation to protect students die with it? Regarding purchasing and distributing marijuana as dangerous, the main issue is profits. A few deaths are merely the cost of doing business, as long as enough consumers can get product there is no problem. Consider the thousands of deaths in Mexico each year.
