The city of San Francisco gives 4.5 million free needles to illegal drug addicts every year.
The city also employs 10 people whose “sole job” is to clean up those needles from the sidewalks and other public areas.
Here’s a video about these free needles, and the city employees who clean them up, from the San Francisco affiliate of CBS News:

And most importantly, here’s a video from the San Francisco affiliate of CBS News, which shows schoolchildren walking through areas where drug dealers are shooting up:

I think there should be a place where drug addicts can go to get the help that they need, with doctors, and even safe injection sites. But it should not be in areas where schoolchildren have to walk through every day.
The fact that San Francisco tolerates people shooting up illegal drugs in areas where schoolchildren have to walk through every day is an absolute abomination.
What kind of society would force children to do that?
What kind of society would tolerate drug addicts shooting up right in front of schoolchildren?
And what kind of society would give free needles to the people who shoot up illegal drugs right in front of school children?
There is something very wrong – ethically and morally – with the voters of San Francisco.
It’s part of the Democrat’s program to reduce the population.
SF is a shithole.......literally
“The government even gives free needles to these drug addicts!”
I believe they mean the TAXPAYERS. The Government produces nothing, thus they STEAL OUR MONEY to give to those miscreants and parasites.
“Ass, Gas or Grass - No One Rides For FREE”
What surprises me is that San Francisco doesn’t put up sharp safes, so the addicts can deposit their used needles in a proper receptacle. I take a drug with a recessed needle, and the doctor’s office is all over me about disposing the used medicine “pen” in a sharp safe. For a once a week drug.
There’s a better reason to do this: reduces the temptation for a user to pick up a needle from the ground, so s/he doesn’t have to beg for new ones.
In the late 1980s when a liberal woman at work defended the new policy in various cities, she said “If you don’t then the addicts share needles and that spreads diseases including hepatitis and AIDS.”
It’s the will of the voters. They’ve seen it coming. Let’s see what they do next election.
Well, you've got a free Wordpress blog.
What's the difference?
This is what happens when hippies (filthy degenerates, every one) gain control and power.
Lemme get this straight...
Drug users get free needles...
I’m a diabetic and have to PAY for mine????
Slip ‘em fentanyl hot-loads and follow up with street sweepers (no, not the firearm, the cleaning vehicle).
SF has to be the worst place to raise children.
It’s California Jake
