Nothing stops a gambler. I’ve personally seen several families ruined by those psychos. They are worse than druggies. Druggies die in a few years. Gamblers destroy those around them for decades.
Horrible story in the news here a couple of years ago. A friend of a friend was suffering from MS and confined to a wheelchair. She had hired a home health aide to take care of her and of any household needs.
This aide stole $37,000 from a lady in a wheelchair because she could not stop gambling at the local casino. The lady has since died.
Doesn’t get any lower than stealing from a woman in a wheelchair. Tell me again, Ed Rendell, how bringing in casinos would not impact the crime rate.
