You can't help people who aren't willing to help themselves. This is a tiny state with a hell of a lot of handouts. Where has it gotten people? Where are all of the success stories? Mr. Graham was made out to be a victim of bad circumstances. There is no mention in this article of his not so pretty arrest record or his addictions. Addictions he brought on himself. One isn't forced to drink and do drugs. They CHOOSE to. They won't stop until they CHOOSE to. You can't force them. There have been almost 100 drug over doses since the New Year. STOP ENABLING PEOPLE! STOP GIVING THEM HANDOUTS! When you do that, you take away their purpose. You take away their reason for getting up in the morning. You aren't helping them. You are hurting them. There is nothing compassionate about giving people everything they need and then some without getting anything in return. Are they out looking for work? Are they checking themselves into a rehab without it being via a court order? NO THEY ARE NOT! SO, KNOCK IT OFF! Why should we all have to continue to suffer via high taxes and crime for people who will remain on a self-destructive path? I grew up with addicts. They were given multiple chances to better their lives. They never did. In fact, they continue to live off of the hard working tax payers. The "judges" are not being compassionate when they let drunk drivers off without so much as a day behind bars. They aren't doing their damn jobs. When are the decent hard working citizens going to come first? When are they going to be more important than the deadbeats who will never change because they don't want to change?
