“If This Isn’t Racketeering…”
September 27, 2012
1 Boring Old Man opines that the lawyers in the Texas TMAP trial “were operating on a higher plane than these guys in Philadelphia,” with the Philly lawyers simply denying things that are manifestly true. He goes on to suggest that the pattern of J&J’s profits suggest activity that could potentially qualify J&J for prosecution under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) act.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) – the drugmakers’ partner in crime, qualifies for prosecutuion under RICO.
Friends don’t let friends join NAMI.

Re: NAMI’s lobbying of State legislatures – for increased drugging in foster care, Mediciad and juvenile justice programs.
NAMI is the drug pusher in the school yard; the mafia on the streets… criminal behavior – big time!

I think criminal prosecutions of drug company executives are the way to go. I think it’s one of the most important demands our movement should be making. It’s become very clear that big fines mean nothing. They have become just a cost of doing business.
But just one determined prosecution of just one executive will scare them all.
