June 2, 2023 at 1:35 pmThese guys have been strung out on meth since they were in their teens. No amount of rehab or education would’ve ever fix this. Why they’re on the street now is beyond me.

September 4, 2023 at 6:42 pmNon-violent drug offenders should have to go to rehab instead of jail. Non-violent drug offenders should be in rehab and gun crime offenders should get life if they kill someone and then we clear our jails for the people murdering people. Gun crimes would go down if we just gave people mandatory life sentence. And use better mental health and rehab programs for drug offenders.
