Modeling wonderful San Francisco, where the city distributes 4.5M needles annually. That’s not a typo.

Because labeling criminals victims and providing them with drug paraphernalia is such an effective crime fighting technique. /s With leftist solutions like this it is no wonder they have one of the highest crime rates in the entire country. They are now rated at the bottom 2% of all areas in the country for “livability” by areavibes.com. Their crime rate is 84% higher than the rest of the country; their school test scores are 53% lower. It is just so special that their police really care about the criminals. /shttps://www.areavibes.com/new+haven-ct/livability/
“Compassion” run amok.

The Darwin Awards are a tongue-in-cheek honor, originating in Usenet newsgroup discussions around 1985. They recognize individuals who have supposedly contributed to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool via death or sterilization by their own actions.

Obviously, Connecticut Democrats support the drug cartels.
Harm reduction policies are the end result of failed drug policies.
It also is far cheaper than incarcerations.
Cheaper and saves lives is a win/win in my book.
Putting junkies in prison rarely breaks their habit in the long run.
Now they have essentially made the police enablers, if not put them on the same level as dealers. I don’t understand how any officer would continue on that city, I would be looking for a job elsewhere.
I just love these satire articles.
I have GOTTA' get out of this lunatic asylum of a state....
There will be consequences here. Will they be unintentional?
Nope. These idiot officials are ENCOURAGING the death and destruction of their low life citizens.
The New Haven Green is already an open air drug supermarket and hosted a mass overdose event in the summer of ‘18. Panhandlers line the sidewalks at major intersections. Junkies mingle around the methadone clinic copping benzos. The hospital EDs are overrun w/drug and alcohol patients. But they have a bike share program!
I’m assuming that they did not consult with all two dozen of the Republicans that live in New Haven.
Why not give out notebook computers to Yale students?
Well, thank goodness they aren’t giving out plastic straws!
Why bother? The rate of those actually helped by treatment is about 1 to 2%. Check this out in California, they have been sending people to rehab for years, some people have been at least 12 times and still did not help. Rehab is only effective if you really want help.
That always works out SO well!
We have an ‘urgent care’ facility downtown, close to all the (now partially empty, thanks to True-dope) oil company towers, and numerous seniors buildings in the beltline.
Several years ago, the Province decided to open a ‘safe injection site’ beside this facility for drugged up street people. Now, at the waiting room by the entrance, two Alberta Sheriffs and two private security guards are stationed 24/7. In addition, 90% of the time, there is one or more cop cars and two (or more) cops dealing with homeless druggies outside the facility.
The net result is that at night (and often during the day), almost EVERYONE requiring ‘urgent care’ with transportation, goes to a regular hospital Emergency ward. By having the ‘shooting gallery’ next to the ‘urgent care’ facility, instead of relieving the crush on the health care system, it is ADDING to it.
Socialists seem to have a limited ability to think.
Better they should poison the dope that they capture and release it to the streets. Drug abuse is a CHOICE. Bad choices can kill you.
