This woman, and the two other newsmakers from yesterday have become indeterminate organisms or pathogens. They were not walking down the street innocently when they were stricken with drug dependence. They achieved it through dedicated and illegal persistence.
They surrendered their humanity willfully for drug use. What a bargain! What a cheap payoff!
The remnants of their humanity are secondary to the protection the rest of humanity deserves from their harmful existence. Save the sad stories for the wienies who make excuses.  "Sorry I extinguished your relative, it was the drugs/liquor, don't you see, not really my fault.
I was in an altered state not of my choosing. God bless and have a nice day." It gives me cramps in my trigger finger.
