    Wait so bro was a junkie all was fine. Now that he’s trying to get his act back together, which is incredibly hard and painful to do. They are jumping on him, shit I wish we could all start seeing addiction as it is, not a crime but a disease.

    I’m not saying that being addicted should make you immune to crimes, or that you shouldn’t deal with the consequences of your own actions.

    But come on… It’s a disgrace, letting people with real mental problems go about without proper treatment. It’s repeating the cycle. This whole persecution campaign from the republicans makes 0 sense.

    He got his shit back together, wich is more then most people who ever had an addiction…it is low key impressive

      It makes perfect sense.

      Republicans want to throw anyone not considered normal in prison.

      And if that not-normal person is a politically advantageous target, then it’s twice as sensible.
