My sister is a heroin addict I've encountered enough =)

Also I have lived in Salem, Oregon look up it's statistics.

Just because my heart doesn't bleed for people who wouldn't do shit to help you doesn't mean I don't understand the problem.

Fair enough - sounds like we may irreconcilable ethical differences. Maybe I'll get more exposed to the issue and more jaded over time. Thanks for explaining your perspective.

I got up to get something to eat and the restaurant I wanted to eat at couldn't open because a group of heroin addicts outside sleeping on the steps refused to move until they were given food.

That was about 40 minutes ago.

seems like a power play the restaurant could win by grabbing some taco bell.

This was at 6AM - Taco Bell near it doesn't open until 7AM silly!

The police don't care about that?

The local Walgreens is now closed between the hours of 12AM - 6AM because the police won't respond to any theft calls during this time.
