It’ll be credit to American ingenuity if we can figure this knot out. The Philippines elected Duterte who basically declared open season without any due process on all drug dealers and some users since stepping into the role.
America, are we willing to take that route if this problem exacerbates any further? If not, then we will just have to live with the fact that freedom isn’t free and that people would rather die free than give up our human and civil rights. That was when America was at its greatest.
Oh well.
Death sentence for dealers
He was a good boy a very good boy unfortunately he was dumb.
It feels good to be high on heroine
Does everyone in jail have own na book. Need more rehabs behind barbed fences ok instead prisons that don't recover and job opportunity .
Pharmaceutical company’s are 100% responsible for this lost generation & all those involved at those companies should be ashamed that every morning they wake up & have to live in there own skin for another day…shameful. Also the doctors who were convinced it wasn’t addictive 🤦♂️
As Baby boomer I remember in the 60's it' was LSD, PCP, uppers and downers, heroin and weed. The 70's was the same as the 60's including horse tranquilizers , cocaine and embalming fluid. The 70's same as 60's. The 80's included cocaine and crack cocaine. The 90's the same as all the precious decades including meth and more heroin and cocaine and pills. And the 21st century, all of the above.
Not trying to be a hater, but when crack & "brown" (heroin) was destroying black communities, everyone looked the other way and/or blamed black people saying that they deserved what they got because they were "addicts" and deserved no sympathy. Now that it's moved into white middle-class communities…..all of a sudden there is more attention and more compassion. Where was the compassion when it was destroying the innocent lives of children of color?! I guess karma is color blind.
Put large amounts of fentanil in all these drugs and get rid of these low lifes
Karma real
14 funerals in one year? I haven't gone to that many in my lifetime. I can’t believe how bad it is in my hometown. I couldn’t begin to imagine what those parents are going through. As a parent, my life would be over – just not physically…maybe. They’ve got to somehow aggressively go after the dealers.
I feel bad for homeless people. I see them under the bridge heating up there soup in a spoon
I blame our administration for not stopping the flow of drugs across the border.
The Sackler family owners of Purdue Pharma that created the opioid epidemic should be fined and incarcerated for ALL the blood money they made peddling their poison!
I don’t how I win this war with heroin,but I am clean and alive,but a lot my friends died and my husband my lovely husband gone it is so hard so sad 🥺💔
Karma 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I will tell you "what's going to happen" with this epidemic.
It's going to bankrupt white people.
What I find amazing is, in the fact, they vote for Trump and his thugs who are taking away these folks healthcare.
The grief on the parents face’s !
Let's get real, shall we. If black folk were dying at these alarming rates, they fine folk would not care about a bunch of black addicts dying from opioids; thus is an epidemic because most, if not all these deaths are white folk.
Sorry I don't do heroin neither do my kids that I know of
The fentanyl an tranq is more dangerous!
