These people are a waste of fresh air.
Oh don't get me started mate!
I have seen these people given so many opportunities to move on and get a fresh start, only to throw it all away for a quick fix.
And your taxes pay for it all
I went to a heroin O/D. He had stopped breathing.
Gave the antidote, got him to A&E. He walked out after telling everyone to go forth.
Three hours later I'm picking him up again!
In three days, he was in A&E five times, and each time he was a nasty piece of work.
Eventually he did it and he died of a massive O/D.
All his friends and family were in the papers on what a loving, caring, friend/son he was.
Yeah right! I went to him once after he'd mugged an old lady for her pension and when running away he fell and split his head open.
I'm a compassionate man, but I find it hard to be so when dealing with these people.
I know what you mean, brother...
We've seen that, a fair bit, here in Singapore. The government really got tough on drug pushers and the situation sort of got prety much better. Now, it will be a "lucky" moment for paramedics to come across a OD case.
We still get a lot of youth getting drunk unnecessaryly...
This is the problem with middle of the road law regarding drugs, either they should be made legal or do as Singapore and Malaysia does, execute the buggers.
I heard that the Singapore Government cracked down hard on druggies, sending dealers and mules to the gallows.
Sad to say, yes, it is a mandatory death penalty fro drug traffikers and mules in Singapore. The rule is that if you are caught with the equivalent weight of 60gm of certain drugs (heroin is one), you have an appoitment with the hangman, as you are considered as trafficking.
I know some quarters will say that they law we have with regards to this matter is very draconian and inhumane, but with someone who is a harcore drug abuser or worse, peddling the stuff, I do not see the difference.
What I do believe is this- if you are willing to do crime, then you must be willing to face the consequences...
Quite frankly Viper I agree with the law. Imagine how many lives that filthy stuff has ruined and how many lives it has claimed. I am also an admirer of corporal punishment that Singapore dishes out at times. The bleeding heart liberals are the cause of so much crap in the UK regarding youths, the little bastards are out of control and the cops can't touch them.
Unfortunately in the UK drug users are treated as the victims, not the people around them who suffer from their actions.
As long as this view exists, the law abiding people will have to suffer being robbed by them, having to step over them when they're spaced out on the floor, ducking to avoid turf fights between dealers, and avoiding places meant for the enjoyment of the honest person because it is littered with drug paraphernalia, or people on drugs.
Our politicians do not have the guts to introduce the laws required to deter and punish this anti-social behaviour that blights society.
I am sure they have some kind of rehab program for drug users, don't they in UK?
There are, but they are mostly voluntary, funded by charities, and have limited places on them.
They are also seen by junkies as a soft option, jail or rehab.
They attend for the required sessions then they usualy carry on as before.
In my job I see the same faces over and over again, and they only usualy stop when the O/D is fatal.
It is becoming clear to me why you are critical in your view with regards to this isuue. So did Mr Brit, I am beginning to understand the issue much more.
Don't the government have some sort of law that enables the law enforcement people to go after the drug pushers and the drug abusers?
Unfortunately the law favours the law breakers.
The Police stopped a car with four youths, and found stolen number plates, weapons (Knives) and drugs for supply.
All four were released without charge as the Police could not link any of them to the items found!
My brother in law had his car stolen by two youths.
Upon their arrest they both stated he gave them permision to take the car.
Their word against his. No charges.
I could go on for pages.
Any action taken by the Police against organised dealers, and users is short lived due to budget restriction, and usualy politicaly motivated.
Its launched with great fanfare and press coverage, "look how seriously were taking drug crime" and fizzles out after a few months.
Any dealers taken of the streats are soon replaced by others waiting in the wings.
The ones caught get pathetic sentancing, if they are jailed its for months only.
The Police on the streets are demoralised by the whole thing.
They see people they've arrested walking out of court on a regular basis, scot free flipping them the finger.
Brit, any room out there for another one?

Damn that's sounds pretty bad, at least here there is a trial (most of the time) but our system is F***ed in the head so, many times nothing happens or they get small jail time. Here in San Francisco the hippies smoke weed on the streets and the cops don't even care. I remember when our baseball team won, i saw some cops were smoking weed with everyone else on the street. :bang:
