first let me say people shouldn’t be judged based on their actions however their actions are to be judged. when a crime is committed, especially one that endangers the lives and wellbeing of others, the person who committed the crime should pay for their mistake. it is unfortunate that this man, as described in previos posts, was a good man who obviosuly just made some mistakes and now has to pay for those mistakes. those of you who described him a this wonderful person – do you not agree that he should pay? isn’t that how people learn? without consequences, what would this world be? its bad enough out there as it is. i am a mother who loves her children very much and so far i haven’t had to deal with anything like this, but honestly if they were to endanger the lives of others, not to mention themselves, then they too should pay. i pray that Mr. Piehl gets the medical care he requires while in prison and that he comes out of this a clean and reformed man who will be able to enjoy the remainder of his life.

I didn’t think it was but folks keep saying things like, “Well, of course he’s on crack. He’s in pain!”

I figured I must be missing something.

Hey Dave , crack is not a pain killer , even though it is cocaine .

When smoked , it give you a very temporary high , maybe like a small burst of energy , that can only be maintained by smoking another puff .

Sometimes people have to hit rock bottom before they get help. So this is his rock bottom. Be thankful that he is still alive and his rock bottom was not death. When u pray for people, that God will help them sometimes God has to allow them to go through the lowest so that they will b saved. Even though it may not seem hopeful right now, u should still have hope! God is n control! I pray God will mend your broken hearts. It could have ended n death. But God didn’t allow that. There is still time to have a good relationship with him.

So I am asking this question not to condemn or to belittle, just because I am ignorant of the answer:

Does crack cocaine act as a pain killer?

REGARDING:
“XXXXX is a good man. He may have done some wrong, but his good out-weighs his bad. . . . He wasn’t always like this. ”

(I Xed out the name to avoid gossip.)

You are what you do. It’s good he was good to you.

If you do good things, you are a good person.
If you do bad things, you are a bad person.
Since most of us do both good and bad, we are mixed up.

People change–sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, sometimes back and forth.

AND

“Just having pain shooting up and down your spine into your head, every movement critical. Wouldn’t you loose yourself too?”

Quite possibly I would, therefore it would be wise of me to not go around armed out of care for others. It would also make me less likely to go to jail or risk hurting others.

AND

“. . . you should not see him as a “druggie/maniac” but as someone who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time . . . ”

Absolutely correct. With that in mind, though, it would be minimally wise of me to avoid such places and times. Unless you want trouble, you don’t go where you know you will find it. And you certainly don’t start if yourself if you are wise enough to walk the streets a free person.

David still praying for repentance, treatment, return to good

REGARDING:
“David Green…sometimes you are over the edge!”

Sometimes?

True, though.

I too,have known the general for a long time. I saw what happened to him when he got hurt, ON THE JOB. I also saw how workman's comp. denied him help,even though he was, ON THE JOB. So, all ya'll that think he is a nut job need to re-evaluate your own failings. Pain is a great equalizer. Terry H. Brown
