    He looks like the Devil. With all the tattoos, he could possibly be a gang member. Get him off the streets. And to think he could have been an upstanding citizen if he had chosen a different path in life.

    This is what happens when u fall down the rabbit hole. I understand we as a nation do have a drug problem to get in check. I don’t know his back story. Weather he was under dr care for pain issues & got taken off his meds due to government mandates ect, & had to find other ways to cope with his pain & it got out of control or if he’s just a straight up addict. Either way it’s a heartbreaking situation. I hope he gets the help he needs & becomes more than a drain on society & to his family. It’s always sad when people resort to street drugs for whatever reason. I’ve watched it destroy people’s lives the families for that matter. Wish I had solution that would help everyone who’s going thru this.

    This is such a sad story. The hold his addiction has on him is bad. I understand the power of addiction as I once lived that life. Getting money to keep the high going is the ONLY thing on his mind. I pray for this young man as he is going to need all of the prayers he can get to utter the 3 hardest words an alcoholic/addict will ever say, “I NEED HELP”!. It was hard for me to say them words but look where I’m at today…he can do it but he has to get to that point in his life. I pray for the victims who were injured in all of this MAN, get some help before you spend the rest of your life in prison or 6’ under….im praying for you
