They say that drugs are a victimless crime. Really?

I know that this is not the full story, but still I weep for the real victim, the hero who tried to help someone in need! Prayers for him and his family and friends.

I say this with all due respect, but is hero the proper word. The guy pulled over to help the guy, which is great, but we cheapen the word hero, in my opinion by throwing it around so loosely.
I have great sorrow for the good samaritan and his loved ones.

I agree.

Drugs are not a victimless crime. They can destroy families and communities and lead to other crimes. Take black tar heroin. It is the most addictive drug with an enormous overdose death rate that is much higher than for street heroin. The dealers are all illegal aliens from Mexico, and they hang around schools and other place to persuade youngsters and oldsters to try it with free samples. I read that they are under orders to sell only to whites and target communities without previous heroin problem.

I feel strongly about this because the young son of friends died from a drug overdose. He was a kind, intelligent boy who made one very bad choice.

I agree. The victim performed a selfless act and should be honored, but he did not knowingly put his life on the line.

I, too, become annoyed by the way the word “hero” is misused. It should be reserved for our military fighting men, firemen, policemen, and other emergency workers, who go to work to protect others, each time knowing that this could be their last day on earth.
