Heroin is lots of fun but of course these “safe injection” sites are just to increase the, you know - *waves hands around* - dying of people.

We know this now. The dying-off is of course desired by government. That vaccine thing, for example. It’s sad but I tried to warn them.

This is why I never say I’m pro-life, by the way. I am against abortion but I refuse to say “pro-life”.

When someone asks me if I’m pro-life, I ask him or her whose life are we talking about. Because, really, most of y’all are just in the way. In that regard I suppose I’m kinda like a globalist; the difference is they are on the pile of deads, too.

I know someone involved in such a project in NY City.

This person, who is otherwise kind, puts me off - like knowing and unrepentant concentration camp guard.

They steal from taxpayers in the name of government to bloat their own ranks, giving free housing, free medical care - and above all FREE HEROIN to addicts.

Its justified by all kinds of ridiculous slogans like “risk reduction,” “mental health interventions”

It strikes me as pure evil.

NYC and other libtard strongholds are all for getting EVERYONE on some sort of addictive drug, the easier to control.

I no longer can call it “tragically cut short”.

They think they are teflon & nothing can happen to THEM...

GOOD RIDDANCE

The soft, squishy love of your fellow man forged of feeling superior, and having low expectations.

That was 11 years ago, and I can admit that my parents helped save my life by cutting me off until I sought recovery.

You cannot get much more grievously, dangerously and wickedly “sentimental” and “understanding” with your low expectations than the woke are now, like that DA out in Alameda California who is basically a murdering thug’s best friend.

More drugs always equals more death and misery, regardless what FR’s libertarian retards say. But, they’re addicts. What do you expect?

I think the real point of these places was to undercut the criminals dealing drugs AND kill off the addicts ... or, hey, if some got sober and left that’s okay too.

It's another cottage industry that exists not to solve or end a particular crisis or ordeal but to manage it while making big bank with contracts, that beget other contracts with various NGOs. Just like the border invasion, homelessness, "hunger in America" and other social concerns. Your spidey senses are tingling about that person you know - you ought to listen. Some of the worst people I've encountered in life have been involved with charity groups, NGOs that deal with social issues. All calm and kind on the outside, twisted on the inside. Freaking thieves, scam artists, perverts. Some of the worst that beg watching.

The injections are “safe and effective”.

I seem to recall hearing that from somewhere or another...

More War on Drugs.

It opens up using the gateway drug argument which is nonsense.

But there is one thing it fails to point out: what services do these “Safe Injection Sites” offer? Give me details, the devil is always in the details.

I was in the hospital for thirty days. During that time, I had probably fifteen needles of various types put in me: drip IV, injection, etc. I went rapidly from “an easy stick” to totally collapsed veins requiring a second and then a third nurse. (They’ll only fail twice before calling in someone else.) How you could do several heroin injections per week is beyond me.

These young people have their whole lives ahead of them, promising lives tragically cut short.

Seriously?! There was nothing promising in their lives except promising to show up for their next court date. These people are the human refuse of society with nothing to offer except crime and violence against society. To put it bluntly, the world is better off without them.

“How you could do several heroin injections per week is beyond me.”

Well, they’ll start out rotating which veins they use. First one arm, then the other. Then they start injecting in their legs. Pretty soon none of those work so they are injecting in odd places like in between the toes.

Finally, once they run out of veins, they will do some really desperate stuff... like skin popping where they cut through the skin to deposit the drugs subcutaneously.

The compassion of the enabling ‘authorities’ is that of Scrooge - “Then let them die and decrease the surplus population.”

‘Compassion’ is a newspeak term for the modern left.
