Well seems to me a lot of the problem now is everybody wants to baby the criminals. Stop treating them like it’s everybody else fault

@Lawyer – surely you jest! If he’s selling that crap, then he’s a murderer.

Spending well over a million dollars to arrest and incarcerate this scumbag is absolute idiocy. Some other scumbag stepped in to fill his shoes within 48 hours and service his customers thus creating another dealer.
The money could have been much better spent on making treatment more readily available to addicts.
Prohibition never works has never worked and will never work. People will get what they want to get as long as there’s money to be made. As much as I think this guy is a complete scumbag, he never forced anyone to buy they came looking for him.
Drug addiction is a health problem and the drug war is a failure.

The root cause of crime has always been poverty. When alcohol was prohibited, people still drank, but violent crime went up. When the war on drugs commenced, people still used drugs, but violent crime went up. Decriminalize and regulate drugs. Tax drugs and use the proceeds to deal with addiction. Keep violent criminals in jail. The idea that three people have not filled the demand for illicit drugs is a bedtime story you can tell a child. No taxpayer buys that nonsense. I do not want to see over a million dollars spent on this person when already somebody has taken his spot in the black market. Prohibition and the war on drugs are failures. Filling the jails with non violent offenders and paroling violent criminals onto our streets

Granted the money spent on sustaining this scumbag sucks as with all the other vermin we as taxpayers have to support, but dealing in heroin is a violent crime – the ripple effect that this poison creates could result in a whole lot of violent crime – bottom line this repeat offender deals in poison and he doesn’t care who it hurts as long as the money is green – he spreads poison – he should have to draw his last breath in a cage

To Grand Locust, if you think this guy’s crime is “non-violent”, you haven’t got a clue as to the root cause of crime in this county (or this nation for that matter).

He’s sick and needs treatment not severely punished like a murderer. The legal system is an epic failure.

This person has proven that he does not want to do anything other than what he is doing- and that is to sell this poison on the street and destroy lives and families. Everyone gets to suffer because he just doesn’t care about anyone or anything. We will spend over a million dollars keeping him in prison and when he gets out guess what? He’ll be selling dope again and the cycle repeats itself. I see why some countries execute drug dealers-problem solved-he won’t sell dope anymore. As far as being “non violent” that may be so but the people who buy dope from him may not be-that’s who sticks a knife in your face in the parking lot of the grocery store, And who steals your tools out of your truck that you make a living with, and breaks into your home or shed and steals anything they can sell for a fraction of what it’s worth-just to buy some dope from this guy. He is as much at fault as the guy who robs you-it all goes back to him. Bring back public hanging for dope dealers, child molesters and rapists. You can’t fix them.
