This is the logical conclusion of perceiving drugs, crime, and other anti-social behavior as "evil" and merely personal choice. We need to get moralists out of positions of power.

Nah nah it's the opposite. We need to get emotion out of the equation and things that aren't real like "social justice".

You people are the problem not only with American politics, but the world. Devoid of empathy and human compassion.

Not to mention logic and reason. All credible social science affirms the position that treating social problems as moral failures result in more social problems. If we accepted the position of someone like Reaganfan, there would be an escalating number of addicts, crimes, domestic abuse, overdoses, and so on, while everyone just goes around preaching nonsense that does absolutely nothing to address the causes of the problem. So, him and people like him, can take their irrational, counterfactual, and uninformed views and shove them where the sun doesn't shine.

Public, not originally from nova, not rich, and don't really prefer it here just up here for work.

Corbyn, when do you draw the line for repeat drug users? Should the police become habitual rescuers of people that don't want help after they push their lives to the limit again and again? The sheriff said that was the case and they become violent after being saved. Where should that cycle end?

I believe Corbyn and I have the same answer to the question in bold: never. You don't draw a line when it comes to a human life. Instead of being habitual rescuers, why doesn't the state of Ohio enable them to take these people into custody afterwards and mandate they attend rehabilitation and counseling? What, do they think someone with an addiction problem is just going to go "woah, I just overdosed and nearly died. I now have total control over the insatiable cravings due to the chemicals in my brain and will never touch drugs again"? That's not how addiction works. These people need serious help and intensive care.
