Tobacco Pushers Should be Criminally Prosecuted

The Crime Prevention Group (TCPG) acknowledges and salutes the candor of the admitted purpose of Licensed to Kill Inc., as stated in its articles of incorporation, "the manufacture and marketing of tobacco products in a way that each year kills over 400,000 Americans and 4.5 million other persons worldwide."

We would call attention to the societal restrictions on serial killing to which LKI refers (and says it is exempt), which in fact and law, actually DO apply. See our bibliography of laws, principles, and court precedents showing their applicability, at our educational analysis sites:

• http://medicolegal.tripod.com/tobaccomurder.htm
• http://medicolegal.tripod.com/genocide_icc.htm
• http://medicolegal.tripod.com/cigadsillegal.htm
• http://medicolegal.tripod.com/extradite.htm

We would urge that all prosecutors criminally prosecute for such killings, as tobacco pushers have a record of having done, are currently doing, and are intending to do, pursuant to current law, due to deaths being foreseeable - thus in law, intentional, meaning premeditated.
