Alcohol, speed killing more South Dakotans on highways

Tony Mangan's dad, Tim, his aunt Pauline and The Dakota Progressive attended St. Mary's in Elkton in the 60s.

Tony left a job in radio journalism for a position as spokesperson for the South Dakota Department of Public "Safety."
This year, the state has already witnessed 42 motor vehicle fatalities, a 60 percent increase compared to the same period in 2017. As for the cause of crashes, Mangan said speed and alcohol continue to be the major factors. [DOT says fatal crashes are up 60 percent over last year]
The same is the case during the Sturgis Rally where girls as young as ten are bought and sold like methamphetamine, Wild Turkey or souvenir t-shirts.

Thanks to selective enforcement white thugs have carte blanche to commit flagrant criminal acts during the Rally. A long history of lawlessness can make the event highly virulent attracting common parasites who breed in the cesspools of human existence.

Gangs of armed men with mental illnesses and addictions to meth power their way into western South Dakota every year; and, an accepted outlaw biker culture routinely traffics illicit behaviors that would otherwise be subject to legal interdiction.

But, a red moocher state like South Dakota is powered by sin: video lootery, a loan shark industry that preys on the least fortunate and a too-big-to-jail banking racket fill in the gaps created by lobbyists who enjoy the protection of single-party tyranny. Desperate to pay off those who benefit the entrenched Republican establishment criminals have a champion sitting as attorney general.
Investigators at the University of Oregon compared traffic accident outcomes in Colorado and Washington following legalization to other states with similar pre-legalization economic and traffic trends. They reported, “We find that states that legalized marijuana have not experienced significantly different rates of marijuana- or alcohol-related traffic fatalities relative to their synthetic controls.” [Study: Traffic Fatalities Have Not Increased As A Consequence Of Legalization]
What do fat, white people have in common besides being far greater burdens on American health care than those who exercise regularly? They all say cannabis is dangerous to young adults while also saying efforts to reduce childhood obesity, like a sugar or soda tax, is over-regulation, government overreach or nanny-statism.
