A user walks into a government-run clinic with heroin in his pocket.


And he is immediately arrested. No?

Why not?

They already allow abortions, assisted suicide and euthanasia.

What’s one more way the State can legally kill you gonna hurt?

Ah, Mexizuela, coming soon.

Do we get a vote on Calexit?

Please?

Can we fleece the slimy Googlethings that’ll soon be begging to come back to a first world nation?

Can we torture them a bit?

It’s a population control measure (ease them painlessly out).

If it’s used for population control why do the medical folks stick around for O.D. folks.

They tried it in Switzerland. Nice park behind a major railway station with water on 2 sides-kept it confined. Next thing you know drug dealers from all over Europe were showing up. Closed it out of embarrassment.

I think Seattle is thinking the same thing...open up places for the junkies to feel safe....have no idea if it entails the nurse helping the junkie find a good site, or holding his hand, or feeding him, or changing his soiled underwear....

this country, this world is bizarre...its insane....

but where do we go where decent people can exist....

Think of the legal liability to the state or city. What if the drug user overdoses and dies at the facility? What if he walks out high gets into his car and kills somebody?

“Only in Kalifornica.”

Nope, up here is the northwest they have had this in Seattle for a while and the cops had been ignoring those that stay out of the way to use.

http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/crime/open-public-sites-in-seattle-king-county-for-heroin-use-task-force-says/

Here is a site that indicates some of these places in operation and locations in north America that are considering:

Yep. Lovely place. Needle park.

The left doesn't only not believe in God, they don't believe in history or even reality!

“drug dealers from all over Europe were showing up.”
The gov’t was probably watering down the drugs, and the druggies wanted full strength stuff! ;)
