Good. I'd rather have the stupid a$$es that do heroin die, than having government spend taxpayer dollars for repeated unsuccessful treatments (not to mention the damage done to society directly from theft by the addicts, neighborhood degredation, etc.)
The way I read it, The governor is saying the focus shouldn't be on guns or cars as killers but on drugs.
Personally, I don't care if the rich are doing heroin. This doesn't affect me. It's the "poor" who use that affects me. They are on welfare. My tax money supports them. They use my money to feed their addiction.
Meanwhile, in Delaware County, the police is trying to get the pushers. Problem is, it takes six months to get the paperwork in order. Just last week they finally got one top supplier.
Guess you’re not a Limbaugh fan then.
Many people who use (and abuse) heroin and alcohol are damaged people from various forms of abuse and neglect that they’re not even aware of. Most of them aren’t aware because of their notions of “normal”. You want to throw them away.
The numbers who recover and stay clean are small, BUT those who do positively influence an average of six other addicts or alcoholics in ways that even good professionals can’t do.
Right on! Give them treatment once and after that, they are on their own.
