Yes, let’s keep them alive so they can continue to prey on society.

You will not change until the pain of what you are doing is greater than the pain of changing. This program makes it easier for them to not hit bottom.

Modeling wonderful San Francisco, where the city distributes 4.5M needles annually. That’s not a typo.

New Haven. University town.


New Haven is a cool city. Unfortunately, all the working class people want to leave, due to high taxes and dumbassery by their politicians.

“This epidemic is complicated. This affects every facet of our community. And the New Haven Police Department cares deeply about every member of its community.”

Because labeling criminals victims and providing them with drug paraphernalia is such an effective crime fighting technique. /s With leftist solutions like this it is no wonder they have one of the highest crime rates in the entire country. They are now rated at the bottom 2% of all areas in the country for “livability” by areavibes.com. Their crime rate is 84% higher than the rest of the country; their school test scores are 53% lower. It is just so special that their police really care about the criminals. /shttps://www.areavibes.com/new+haven-ct/livability/

This great stupid PC reality earns multiple Darwin Awards - Removing Drug addicts from the breeding pool is a good thing for the rest of the world. So, supply the drugs for free and let them kill themselves.

("Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge." - Charles Darwin)

The Darwin Awards are a tongue-in-cheek honor, originating in Usenet newsgroup discussions around 1985. They recognize individuals who have supposedly contributed to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool via death or sterilization by their own actions.

Obviously, Connecticut Democrats support the drug cartels.

The good news is they will be free to assault Yale students.

Sometimes a good mugging can covert a lefty to a conservative—not always, but still now and then. ;-)

Swimming upstream here...

Harm reduction policies are the end result of failed drug policies.

It also is far cheaper than incarcerations.

Cheaper and saves lives is a win/win in my book.

Putting junkies in prison rarely breaks their habit in the long run.

How about trying tough love. For those who willingly snort or swallow or shoot up drugs, just let them O.D. on the streets. There should be NO assistance given to those who of their own volition chose this degenerate lifestyle. Why should hardworking taxpayers be enablers for their filthy habits? What’s next, giving matches and incendiary devices to help pyromaniacs curb their urges?

Now they have essentially made the police enablers, if not put them on the same level as dealers. I don’t understand how any officer would continue on that city, I would be looking for a job elsewhere.

There will be consequences here. Will they be unintentional?

Nope. These idiot officials are ENCOURAGING the death and destruction of their low life citizens.
