I must be a very HARD person. I have no pity for a 49 year old who makes, takes
or sells DRUGS of ANY KIND.

I don’t care how addictive the stuff can be, 49 years old is plenty old enough
to know better and when they have a FAMILY…..I find it hard to even talk about.

I am disgusted that FAMILY should ever have to read what everyone in
town is saying about a father who is into this kind of garbage. That public
humiliation is ALL HIS FAULT. It’s a terrible terrible thing when a MAN can
not walk with dignaty and make a good role model for his family and
everyone else in town.

49 looking 60 with a chance to get clean and THIS IS HOW IT ENDS.

i havent read reports or comments regarding any possible court MANDATED drug treatment effort that mr raines took part in, or completed- i dont know if he was a veteran, but, 20 years ago, or so, the VA literally saved a familly member from a raging meth addiction….and, that same family member remains a clean, employed and productive member of society today….but, truthfully, my heart breaks for mr raines’ family…. ive lived that same “hell” for the last 15 years with one of my children- not meth, but crack…. in saying that, i can attest that (in my childs case) the probation system here DOES NOT frequently do monthly urine tests…budget cuts?, too much paperwork?, jail overcrowding?…. i dont know, but i wish they would.

The meth chemicals must have killed brain cells if he thinks he can use the excuse that the stuff was from his ;last arrest. Im quite sure the sheriffs got it all. Another fine example of what drugs do to you…they make you a liar and you get stupid!!!

Actually he was getting clean, he was up to 280 from his recent 170 back in February when he was using. You can’t pass ever random drug test the police give you. Yes he had illeagle substances, yes he is in.jail, and yes he will pay the penalty I’m not saying that any of that is wrong, and it is dumb for him to let people use his house to make drugs again,and yes that is against the law. But as far as a user goes hrbwas actually done with that. I’m his biggest critic out of anyone being I’m his youngest son. Im probably the most harsh on him, but I’m not defending his.actions just his.character.

Meth has been called the “Poor Man’s Cocaine”. It’s addictive, but worse, it is made from so many destructive, corrosive materials, that it literally eats you up from the inside out. I’ve seen meth users who were in their mid to late twenties and looked at least as if they were in their 60’s. WHY would anyone want to do that to themselves? Those corrosive substances at work…….

Well he obviously wasn’t getting too clean, according to Daniel. If you’re related to him all you could have done was encourage him to leave that stuff alone, if he really wanted to stay out of prison. Looks like he had you fooled and probably others. As for the clean drug test with his probation officers, we all know how those can be rigged to show clean. So once again, he’s caught. And no matter if he had a car to drive to go pick up the items to make meth, he had possession of them and that alone is guilty, whether it’s yours or not, you have allowed the criminal element back in to your life. Perhaps prison time will give him some time to work on a real career that he can use when he gets out rather than trying to get rich quick. And if he’s addicted, no better way to kick his meth habit than a good long time in lock up. No meth labs there.

His Lifestyle has certainly taken it’s toll on him by his looks. Not even 50 years old yet and looks old and beaten down. So sad! This chemical along with others is a cancer on our society. When will we ever get it under control? How did our citizens ever get to the point of loosing their self esteem? I think I know the answer to that one but would like to hear it from someone else.

Praying for the Raines family. Yes people do make mistakes but no one is in the right to judge ANYONE. No one is perfect. Mr. Raines has children and a family just like most of us out here and the last thing that everyone needs to do is put this man down because he is a human just like us all and it is not only wrong but it is very hurtful to his family.
