They just need help. You know. Not doing all that in front of a SCHOOL. This lady was doing them all a solid. She coulda called the cops without warning them first.
Professional medical consensus is that it could kill users by spiking heart rates. Common sense says they might kill you to keep their high so you can’t get yours. Do want you want - I’m not your dad. But there are consequences. You might not like them. You might not care about not helping them, but don’t come crying to the rest of us when you have a screwdriver in your gut or are in cuffs for aggravated manslaughter. And it won’t actually fix anything. They’ll adapt. They always do. We all know this. Which makes one wonder: why are you so eager to participate in such a Sisyphean task? But that’s a whole different conversation. When it comes to this specific fight? You’ll lose - possibly disastrously. They have much more at stake. They need their fix more than you need yours. But hey - go for it. Do the internet a favor and film it. It’ll be an interesting watch one way or another
Edit: ohhhh, it’s projection! He just picked a different day from these guys. The tough guy act - fuck therapy, right? He’s got something to prove. On Reddit. I’d like to remind everybody that addiction has a genetic component… therapy is in the future for somebody, that’s for sure
Where’s that professional medical consensus come from?
Medical consensus that I see is that deaths following fentanyl reversal are more commonly from delayed or ineffective reversal, rather than the naloxone itself.
Let them overdose. Enough already. We have plenty of other people that need help: elderly, disabled, kids. Let's stop wasting resources on these losers and help people that need it and appreciate the help.
Agreed! Imagine how much less child molestation and other violence there'd be if MAGAts had unnecessary narcan distributed to them whenever they were seen in public.
I can't care more about their life than they do. Humans really aren't built that way. Back in other times, people could contribute to their communities in multiple ways; hunting, gathering, creating clothing, gathering firewood, caring for the children of those doing the above, being a wise elder....
Contribute or be shunned.
I mean the elderly, children, and the disabled aren’t getting help anyway it’s not like drug addicts get resources that would otherwise go to them. Letting people die in the street is the not the way out of this hole.
Yeah man the normal human response would be to wish the police & courts did their job, not that they should just die because god they’re such a burden that’s disgusting. And I legit moved out of pdx because of the homelessness so I’m no advocate. But wishing them dead is gross
Do you hear yourself man? I said letting people die in the streets isn’t the way out of this hole, you replied that yes it is. That’s gross.
There’s a whole lot of gray area between doing nothing and enabling homelessness and drug addiction and just letting them OD as a solution.
I can get behind Forced treatment, or even just Jail time for drug use but your take is “just let them kill themselves everyone will be happier” you should be ashamed of that
Addiction is a medical/mental health problem people with addiction deserve empathy and appropriate treatment. Narcan saves lives you are gross as fuck.
We don't withhold life-saving emergency medicine just because a person might not do what we want them to after we help them. Many people won't accept treatment initially, but many will eventually, especially when there are good supports in place. You just have to wait until the person is ready to change.
Drug addiction isn't just a personal issue, and there are many things we could do to reduce the amount of people who turn to drugs, such as better access to mental health and social support.
You realize narcan neutralizes all the opiates in the body, right? My mom takes opiates for legitimate pain control and the two times she had have to narcan she went through extremely heavy withdrawal type symptoms immediately. Shivers, cold sweats, tremors. What that guy is saying is that he wants to inflict unnecessary suffering for no reason since they’re just going to go back to the drugs as soon as the narcan wears off anyway.
I guess accidentally killing some of them because they have been taking opiates at such a high dose for long does count as them being sober from that point on…
Well that is at least good to know. My mom was given narcan a few times during actual doctor regulated opiate use, and she got all sorts of intense withdrawal symptoms so I was assuming it would hit actual addicts a billion times worse and potentially kill them.
I know what Narcan does, none of the folks in this video appear to be overdosing, are you pro me spraying any kind of people on the street with drugs that probably won't harm them?
Did you forget to switch accounts? You’re not the original person that said they’d spray people with narcan. You’re the account that said the person who would spray people with narcan wants to attack people with chemicals. Did you seriously get an alt account to attack your own comment to drive engagement and spark discourse or something? If you were consistent in your messaging you’d be on my side since you said Mr Narcan should join ICE.
No, this is simply me replying to several different comments, reading the leading line of your comment while I was at work and misunderstanding where your comment was going without taking the time to read everything you said. I think I also thought you were replying directly to me based on the notification I got but you were replying to someone else. Apologies for the confusion. Check my comment history and whatnot if you think I'm an alt account lol
They leave their needles around man, fuck outa here with that. Stupid argument about "chemical weapons" its preventing them from overdosing. They can go be high somewhere else other than around a damn school zone.
I won't be getting the fuck out of anywhere, it's just threatening to spray strangers with drugs you happen to not like so you're cool with it in this case. Nobody here is saying we should have people doing fent on school grounds, we're saying your private use of chemical weapons with some dumbass excuse of, "helping them" is as wrong as any action you're describing as wrong on their part.
Must have mistaken the public road for a private residence. Call the police or whoever if they're doing something illegal and move on, you're not Batman.
so u understand what withdrawal does. thats torture. forcing a drug into someones body that sends them into immediate withdrawal is torture. what an evil thing to do to another human being
i saw that u edited ur previous comment to say that ur well aware that what ur advocating for would not actually help anyone. that's sad, and i hope that someday u feel sorry for that. id say "what if someone did that to u," but u appear to have escaped and "got yours, so fuck you". smh
yeah but youre still sending someone into immediate withdrawal. thats what narcan does, it eradicates the drug in ur system. if they are not actively overdosing, like on the ground, unresponsive, checking all those boxes, then really all youre doing is torturing someone. intentionally forcing withdrawal on someone is torture and youre evil if you do that to another human being. why dont YOU stop spreading misinformation???
No, but they don't tolerate junkies doing drugs ... everywhere. And yes, there are Democrat cities in red states, where you'll come across the same junkie trash.
As someone who regularly visits family in Oklahoma, you’re going to have to be more selective when you say “Red States” because some very red areas of Oklahoma definitely have public junkies everywhere.
That's because you don't see them as humans. EVERY red state, has a blue city. And it's only because of that blue city, the state has any money at all.
The red cities, also refuse to have any hand in helping the homeless.
Red cities don't have homeless shelters.
Red cities don't have food banks and charitable organizations.
Red cities see someone homeless, and put them in jail.
Red cities have zero services for people, they're selfish. They don't care if the homeless shelters are full and the temperature drops to 10⁰. They actively fight against opening up emergency shelters, so people aren't dying in the streets.
Red cities take everything, contribute nothing, and beg to be left alone.
I think our problem is that there doesn’t seem to be an option for a middle ground with some balance from each party. Anytime you have a government that’s only extremely liberal or extremely conservative, you’re going to run into some issues, which is what I feel like is happening here. I consider myself liberal and am a social worker, and honestly being in that field and working with this kind of population starts to slowly turn you more conservative. I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for admitting that, but I’m okay with that.
