"Less unsafe" would be closer to the mark.

That’s what the mayor in Ithaca, NY did so the streets/sidewalks/glens aren’t littered with their needles etc. IDIOTIC!

It’s like trying to make Russian roulette “safer” only by adding a few chambers to the cylinder of the revolver.

What’s really wrong with all of this is that the heroin coming into California is supplied by Mexican drug cartels. You know those guys filling the mass graves south of the border. Kinda like dealing with ISIS.

To find the place, just follow the smell of piss. The Tuttie-Fruttie-City just legalized pissing on the sidewalks.

Ithaca, NY is the toxic waste site it deserves. Fricken liberal jackwagons.

You like streets/sidewalks/glens to be littered with their needles etc?

Oh, I know. Mexican drug culture is absolutely vicious. Actually, most Mexican culture is vicious, tacitly accepting “honor killings” of offending relations.

So does that mean that the people who shoot up with heroin at these locations won’t OD? Won’t ruin their health?
