Actually, the deaths being avoidable are a reason why it is called a public health crisis. Opposition to addiction and illegal drugs should not lead us to indifference to the welfare of or scorn for those who are addicted and to needless deaths among them.
Unless people are being forcibly injected, there is no “public health crisis”.
Tonight, low level dealers in Pittsburgh are ratting out everybody they know so they don't end up doing a life sentence.
At the top end, the “boss” is not sitting around waiting for bad news to knock on his front door.
His direct subordinates are either dead or running for their lives.
This just in: Smack will kill you. Film at 11.
It should happen to every druggie!!!
It's a CHOICE. Since RATs insist on choice...
I agree with you.. actually it’s helping to clean out the scum so the smart thing would be to remain silent.
heroin that is suspected in the deaths of at least 17 people in Allegheny
This is a problem HOW????
Off the subject, but does anyone know what happened to the flu medication with the trade name Theraflu? I have not seen it in the drug stores for a couple years.
And the gubbmints answer to drug addiction is legalize drugs like pot as they bemoan the loss of life with illegal drugs as a health emergency. How much you want to bet these heroin junkies carry a pot prescription card ?
Unless you consider that for the democrat party, "every vote counts"...
Just when the prisons were complaining they could no longer buy the juice for lethal injections, the free market comes along to fill the void :-)
No one is forced to use the stuff. If they don’t use it they aren’t affected. I’m trying, but I can’t feel any sympathy for users.
I’ve read the article and the comments (through 27) and just can’t come up with any reason why a drug oeverdose death is a bad thing.
These people (most probably every single one of them) Chose to take the first injection of this drug. They chose to take the first pill of whatever drug lead them into this and they chose to smoke the pot that lead them into the drug culture in the first place.
These people chose to destroy their lives and die. How is it a bad thing when they finally do? I’m sure they were given the chance to get clean. It’s not like we’ve not been banging the “don’t do drugs” drum for the last 30 years.
This was just a small cleansing of the gene pool
This is one reason places like Singapore execute drug traffickers.
