According to Dr. Julio Montaner, shutting down a supervised illegal drug injection site is equivalent to genocide.
Actually, that's being kind. He says it is genocide.
Regardless of whether or not it's a good policy (and I have an extremely hard time seeing how tax dollars are appropriately being spent funding the injection of illegal drugs, but that's a different discussion), comparing shutting down Insite to genocide is disrespecting victims of true genocide (see Rwanda, Holocaust). And it does nothing to advance the cause of Insite.
