Agreed.
If drugs were involved, people need to remember that NOBODY wants to be an addict.

Sure, people make bad choices and pay for them, but I’ve long dispelled with pleasure from the pains of others.

I don't take pleasure in the pain of others, and I work in an area where you can see people's lives just slip away in their 20's to drugs, no matter how many rehabs and counseling sessions they go to....its very sad and tragic...

however, it all starts with brushing with danger and chaos...that's the first mistake....some people can not recover...

as far as this young man goes, it is sad.....but for his father, its a great example of somebody having it all....power....all the money...the immunity to any consequences....except the most important one....your own children....lost.....

karma or something...a very teachable moment in humility I guess.

I know many people, who use recreationally, who laugh at the prospect of become addicted. However, I know of no addict who doesn’t regret having experimented.

No one wants to be an alcoholic either. I didn’t. Twenty-four years sober I still don’t. It’s still out there. I’m sober today but for the grace of God and AA. Sorry for Mr. Corzine’s loss. If drugs or alcohol were involved the sad reality is some make it and some don’t. Rigorous personal honesty insures one will make it, if one can be that honest. He’s beyond any more hurt now.

Schadenfreude is false joy and will always bite back.

That's a nice way of putting it.

The pain of losing a child is unimaginable.

“NOBODY wants to be an addict”

No, they want to get stoned to the core with no bad consequences. Boo hoo
