If these punks, or their families read this: Get out.
Get out of this county, and away from where decent people live. We don't want your ilk.
Eli, you were such a good kid. Many people will not b give up on you. Drugs are killing you and your family. Ask for forgivness. Pay your due and give yourself a chance by getting away from the drugs that destroy people and families.
Did it ever dawn on you that people make mistakes? You obviously don't know how hard it is to get right or have had a loved one mess up. You don't have to talk on their family.or them for a mistakes. Drugs are a life killer everyone knows that. It is very hard to get clean and stay clean. Do your research on it before you talk on people you don't know nothing about.
Lacey Santos I agree. Drug addiction hits all kinds of people, healthy families, unhealthy families, poor, rich. . . It is an illness and we need to get them help if we can. If they refuse to be helped, then lock them up until they see the light. My heart goes out to the families and the victims.
Amen
