n the month before Mathew Perry’s death, a doctor the actor contacted to acquire ketamine called him a “moron” in a text message, according to federal prosecutors.

A dealer who authorities say supplied the drug to Perry referred to him as “Chandler” — the sarcastic yet sweet-natured character he played on the hit television show “Friends,” court documents say.

Yes, indeed, it is sad. He suffered with depression, and these doctors took advantage of him.

Meanwhile thousands of Americans are allowed to rot in the street addicted to drugs smuggled in by foreign agents.

But oh no, a millionaire Hollywood actor was being exploited.

“Allowed” to rot? You know little about drug and alcohol abuse. That’s their choice. The sewers of America perfectly allow these degenerates to live in the lifestyle that allows them to stay drunk/stoned. They love it.

If Chandler just stuck with booze, he'd still be with us today.

I know, right? Why didn't he just play endless games of Tetris like a normal person?

A civilized society would force them off the streets and into involuntary recovery centers rather than letting them rot on streets while committing crimes and harassing citizens.

Agreed. If someone collapsed and fell unconscious in the street, EMTs would take that person to a hospital.

No one would ask permission first: “May we save you? May we take you to a hospital?”

If someone were standing on a ledge, ready to jump, rescue workers would stop that person from committing suicide.

If someone were a public nuisance causing a disturbance, police would arrest that person.

Yet, every day, people with drug addictions are free to do all those things in the streets, and no one is stopping them.
