drunk drivers and drug addicts? It’s not a victimless crime. Where do you think these addicts get their money from? Why do you think organizations like MADD exist? What about the families that are without because these lowlifes spend the money? Do you really think these are good role models for children? I am the mother of an addict and the grandmother of a child who has an addict for a parent, believe me, it’s not a victimless crime!!
I grew up around an addicted family member. I’m well aware that the family gets screwed. In spades.
That said, the state has done zip to fix addiction other than squander your and my dollars, in large amounts, to implement judicial “solutions” that don’t work. But it will continue because it’s profitable. Far more profitable than locking up violent felons. We’re awash in convicted sex offenders who are “safe” to have in our neighborhoods. We’re awash in violent illegal aliens. But by gosh we use precious and limited jail space for drunks and junkies.
