They're Not Victims by Bill OReilly June 25, 2023

The United States has lost its way. But you knew that. We are living in a time where personal responsibility means little. And a vivid example of that is people who consume hard drugs.

How dare you? Your behavior has led to millions of deaths. You, yourself, are at grave risk and, depending on your addiction level, are worthless to society.

By buying narcotics, you fuel lethal domestic drug gangs and the ultra-vicious Mexican cartels. When you pollute yourself with intoxicants, you harm those who depend on you. Most child abuse and neglect is caused by substance abusers.

Often, you are so screwed up you can't earn an honest living. So you have to steal, sell poison to others, or prostitute yourself to buy drugs. You sometimes live in the streets, crashing civility and causing hard-working taxpayers to spend millions cleaning up after your "lifestyle."

You have literally destroyed entire neighborhoods in San Francisco, Chicago, Baltimore, and other chaotic places that consider you a victim.

Of what? Nobody forced you to become a drug addict and lawbreaker. Yes, you may have an addictive personality, but so do millions of others who do not devote their lives to intoxication. The Constitution does not give you the right to "pursue happiness" by hurting people or walking around stoned all day.

The hard truth is you should be isolated from society, given "treatment", and, if you continue your druggie ways, isolated for a longer period of time.

You, Mr. and Ms. drug user, contribute nothing to this country. You cause pain by committing crimes and ignoring your responsibility as productive human beings.

You are not victims. Only fools believe you are. Clean up before you die in a drug haze. Stop hurting innocent people in your selfish pursuit of inebriation.

It is long past time to call these drug addicts out, alcoholics as well.

Enough. Stop the excuse-making. These people have to be confronted. Not coddled.

What do you think about Mr. OReilly's piece?

    Oh! I like this person. A youngster poked his head in the half door of my office at my clinic and said, 'Could I see one of your drug counselors?' I asked, 'When did you last use?' He responded, 'This morning.' I said, 'Turn around, first door on the left. Just go right in.' The Chief of Police happened to be sitting on the sofa and couldn't be seen from the door. He almost slid off the couch and said, 'How often does THAT happen?' I responded, 'You take care of your business and I'll take care of mine.' N

    Reward anything and you will get more of it.
    Punish behavior and you get less.
    Drug dealers (including Big Pharma) have not been punished according to their actions.
    Addicts should be helped to stop all addictive behavior.

    The fedgov needs ultimate punishment for its unconstitutional, immoral actions.

      Agree 100%. Druggie need treatment in a place where they won't affect the rest of us and the big pharma/govt cabal needs breaking up and then throw the heaviest book we can find at them. Your memes hint (she said sarcastically) that any punishment besides a feather cannot happen. Agree with you 100% again, FFA.

    I do not feel particularly sorry for people who get themselves addicted by starting to take drugs of their own free will; but to take drugs does not
    _*in itself * _violate the rights of another. Taking drugs can; getting drunk, and then driving a car in that state can cause manslaughter. In that case, the drunk driver should be punished.
