James:  "...if the unfortunate young lady in question wasn’t a young blonde girl this story would receive no attention."  What Kimberly writes still has currency and is most probably true.  And 'the tired old race card' needs to be beaten to death every which way, again and again, until we aren't in denial anymore.   For instance, people of color have been overdosing and dying for years and all they got is increased incarceration.  Now that it is a 'white people's problem' with pharmaceuticals opening the door to addiction, the call is for a social and/or medical solution and there is great attention given to the overdose deaths.
