January 20, 2024
A man was revived, then arrested with a quantity of fentanyl at the Flomaton McDonald’s.

“Life saving measures were performed and the subject was successfully brought to consciousness,” police said.
FPD said the man, identified as 28-year old Dillon K. Hollis of Panama City was under the influence of narcotics and was found in possession of a loaded syringe of fentanyl, along with three grams of pure powder fentanyl, 4 Xanax pills, and 14.3 grams of methamphetamine.

REGARDING:
“Their lives don’t have any value and are disposable”
“they believe human life doesn’t have any value and is disposable.”
A particular human life versus human life as a whole. Yes, I know you don’t see a difference.
AND
“there is no evidence that the death penalty reduces the crime rate”
Since the penalty doesn’t apply to most crimes, one would not expect it to affect most crimes. If seldom applied, it probably looks like a good bet. People run stop arms on buses because they are seldom punished for it and they kill a few children every year because of it.
AND
“executions don’t save taxpayers money”
Executions are inexpensive. Getting up to them is expensive. You could use the fentanyl seized from drug dealers. Pure nitrogen would also work cheaply. A weight dropped from a fair height would be messy but cheap and painless. We just like to complicate things.
AND
“it’s impossible to have capital punishment without inevitably killing innocent people.”
Difficult, anyway. More likely to kill some innocent by releasing a killer. There are few perfect judgements either way.
AND
“we’ve had this discussion before and I’m not interested in wasting my time or yours repeating it all over again.”
David for not having my own ox gored
Yet you brought it up again. I don’t begrudge you my time.
@TB that’s a wonderful outcome and I sincerely believe what you said. But that outcome is from a willing person who wants to change. Sadly to say those are few and far between. Just how many people have to become victims before enough is enough. I certainly don’t mind and have and still do help anyone who’s is struggling in the right direction. I have numerous people with addiction that call me any time they need to , to just talk and give them reassurance. I’m not in that field of work but I also believe in looking out for each other. But I will not excuse their actions. Just remember, what we permit, we promote.
This mess has gotten out of hand. What needs to be done? We just don’t have the answers. We all know what needs to be done but why won’t they stop this “invasion” of this drug(fentanyl) and the other drugs that come into this country or that’s manufactured right here in OUR COUNTRY? Too much money to lose if addiction and/or use goes away. You see, if there’s no drugs then the big money doesn’t keep the doors open to the rehabilitation facilities…to the doctors who treat these issues or the many other businesses associated with the treatment of addiction. It’s sad but it’s all about that powerful dollar.
Many years ago I know of a fella who was but a shell of himself due to his deep and uncontrollable addiction. He was checked into a facility and got the help he so needed They took his families money and put him through a few classes but never treated the addiction internally. He got out and used again because 1) the addiction over him was so powerful and 2) he hadn’t been taught how to cope and live a better life. It was all about the money!
I had a family member pass away recently over this fentanyl combo and it hits hard because IT DIDNT HAVE TO HAPPEN.
We can start with our votes on these officials who are too lenient on the dealers AND the users. Let our voices be heard at the higher level of Government. WE HAVE RI TAKE A STAND AGAINST those lining their pockets from the devil of addiction.
I’m glad they revived this young man. Yes, it would have been cheaper and easier to just allow him to pass and become just another statistic but you see, OUR GOD has a purpose for this young man. Is it to be able to tell his story to help others? I pray this young man sees the error of his ways and straightens up before he DOES become another sad statistic in this way of life.
By the way, that fella that went through rehab that I mentioned earlier? By the GRACE OF GOD and someone not giving up on him and CONSTANTLY wrapping him in prayers he is able to sit here and type this comment on this to this article.
Never quit praying for those addicted to alcohol/drugs.
TB …he has to want to clean himself up. Only 1% success..my family member died because of fentanyl…drug dealers need to be punished…Escambia County needs to do a better job at stopping the trafficking of drugs. Our boarders need to be Closed
@David Huie Green
“Murderers are evil because they believe human life doesn’t have any value and is disposable.”
“Okay, so what should we do with murderers?”
“Kill them. Their lives don’t have any value and are disposable”
I think that level of hypocrisy is hilarious.
Unrelated, I could point out that executions don’t save taxpayers money, that life in prison is just as effective at reducing recidivism as capital punishment, there is no evidence that the death penalty reduces the crime rate, and that it’s impossible to have capital punishment without inevitably killing innocent people. But we’ve had this discussion before and I’m not interested in wasting my time or yours repeating it all over again.
I hope you have a nice night!
CONTEMPLATING:
““Murderers deserve to die because they don’t value human life and treat it like it’s disposable”. I love how you don’t even see the hypocrisy.”
It isn’t really hypocrisy to say being killed for being a murderer is justified. It is a recognition that people who have murdered may murder again and an attempt to protect future victims. It also accepts that fear of being punished stops some crimes. The problem, of course generally is that murderers decided they either could get away with murder or that the punishment is worth the pleasure of murdering. We see the failures to prevent murder but can not see the successes (if any).
We accept that some killing is justified. We believe some is not justified. Just because you disagree with others doesn’t make them hypocritical even if wrong and certainly not if right.
David for valid convictions
@Mike J
“Murderers deserve to die because they don’t value human life and treat it like it’s disposable”. I love how you don’t even see the hypocrisy.
@Stumpknocker
I understand your frustration, I personally know someone who fit the example you stated, he told me his life story burning all his bridges including stealing from his family and friends including his own Grandfather but his Grandfather never gave up on him, his Grandfather paid to have him go into the Teen Challenge program where he eventually turned his life around, started a successful business, hiring people like himself needing a hand up rather than a hand out. He has done work for me and is truly a world class businessman, he is now in his late 30’s married with beautiful children, never give up on people, don’t let them use you to further their drug habit but be there for them when they need you.
Remember, God loves a challenge, he will reach down and save the lowliest of us all, I myself is a personal example.
@TB that sounds so wonderful and all of it will work with someone who wants to put the effort in to quit. Most do not they have burned every bridge in their life with family and friends and others who have tried to help them. But until they step up , no amount of money or any court can make them. Besides all this should have been taught to them already.
I just wonder why so many think society should care more about their wellbeing than they do themselves.
@Bob,
I’ll answer that question. Murderers convicted and guilty without any doubt. That’s who should not be kept alive in prison. Since you want to keep evil alive then you should pay for it not pass that responsibility on to everybody. You want to have compassion for murderers, but do you really think they would have compassion for you? They would not spare your life. I also know how you will reply. Have a nice day!
Simple solution here, dealers don’t use they sell, he’s a user, cut a deal with him, supervised rehab to help him get off the junk and give some skills training and job placement in exchange for the name of the dealer he got it from, then give the dealer the death penalty. Good start right there..
HE IS A GOOD MAN!!!!
@SueB
Wow. Which other people do you believe we should kill in order to save taxpayer funds?
SueB,
I truly hope that you don’t feel like we should throw people away and turn our backs on them.
That’s not a charitable way to go through life.
@Adam….the unfortunate thing is that he doesn’t have a bed. The jail up there is so crowded that they have them on pallets on the floor. There aren’t any beds available. Some of those people are literally thankful to be transferred to another facility where they will have a bed!
He shouldn’t have to die for being stupid. Our civilization is better than that. Isn’t a humans life worth bed and boarding, in jail.
nice throwback oilers shirt
He had all the drugs he wanted to die with. Why save him to lock him up. Tax payer monies constantly thrown away.
Saved his life to throw him in jail..lol
