Black men are selling tainted drugs to white kids it kills them almost instantly and should be treated as murder.

It does not make a darn who what is selling the drugs we have to stop the drugs and protect our children end point in almost 50 years of public service this is the worst it has been and not getting any better. It is going to take more than law enforcement to do this, it going to take every body to do the education of our children. If you see a drug sale report it.

I feel for the parents and grandparents in this video. But, one thing that bothers me is the whitewashing of the addicts life after they are dead. Everyone is a saint when they die regardless of the type of person they were while living. They never tell the stories of the harm the addict did to those around them while living. I am going to engage in some generalizations because not every addict does each item listed here, but a great many do and some do worse. Tell about the toll on families, the worry, fear, and pain felt everyday watching a loved one destroy themselves. Tell about the theft from family, friends, and strangers that often occurs with addicts seeking to feed their addiction. Tell about the quantifiable cost of our police and court system dealing with the same people over and over. Tell about the hospitals that often treat addicts and rarely get paid , passing along the cost to law abiding people. Tell about the abuse aimed at family members. Tell about the drain that person was on our society, tell how they offered nothing of value and instead only took and squandered our resources. Tell about the dozens of times they were given a 2nd chance by family, friends, and our society and they threw our offer of help and compassion right back in our faces. Then tell about the 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc. chances we gave the addict only to suffer the same rebuff. Tell about how the addict is the most selfish individual in existence, living only to feed their needs no matter who they have to hurt. Stop with the fluffy platitudes and tearful remembrances because the addict doesn't care about death, they fear death less than they fear not being able to indulge in their selfish habit. I have a sister that is an addict. There is no end to the suffering that she will visit on others in order to keep selfishly abusing her substance of choice. So, yes, when anyone dies it is sad. Family and friends are hurt. But remember, it is that same selfishness that they exhibited while alive that took them out and as a final act of serving their interests at any costs is causing you this grief.
