War on Drugs Claims the Life of a 92 Year Old Woman

In one of the most egregious and dispicable results of the costly, worthless, and statist "war" on drugs a 92, yes NINETY-TWO, year old woman was gunned down in the middle of the night as undercover NARCs busted into her house to serve a drug search warrant.  To her credit, the woman went down defending herself and her property shooting at what she surely thoughts were intruders, harming three of the police officers.  

I cannot even imagine the horror felt by the elderly woman as the events unfolded much less the grief of the woman's family members who have to come to grips with the murder of a family member at the hands of an out of control police force prosecuting this ridiculous war on drugs.   The most frightening aspect of the story is that this is most likely not an uncommon practice where drug warrants are served on the wrong address or person resulting in the fatalities of innocent people.   The CATO Institute has an excellent interactive resource that maps botched paramilitary and SWAT style raids across the country, the results are chilling.
