Drugs are bad.
52 is way too old for all that drama.
You cut a hole in my door to my house and I shoot you many times with 44 magnum you no live to see end !!!!
So, has this friend” been abusing the victim all through this friendship? No one should accept abuse for any reason from anyone.
With friends like that who needs enemies? I think maybe someone is stretching the definition of friendship a bit to far. I have a handful of friends but I have a long list of againtances. No friend would cut a hole in your front door with a chainsaw unless they were trying to save your life or someone else’s life. Friendship ends when they attack you with a chainsaw. They will be no attempt to leave in a truck or by other means but most likely they’ll be laying there when the law arrives & there will be possibility of them ever doing it again. End of story.
