Just think about the needles they put int he trash and the people who have to recycle/sift throught the trash. All the needles that can stick them and give them a disease.
Then again, if you want crazy read THIS!
"Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill Friday that lowers from a felony to a misdemeanor the crime of knowingly exposing a sexual partner to HIV without disclosing the infection."

So murder is now a misdemeanor.

WOW Fritz, that's truly horrifying.
That sort of thing is why people end up taking up vigilantism.
As for the needles, I feel like this country is just sinking into despair.

This article goes into that case more, though.

Ev,
Knowlingly doing harm to someone...and with a terminal disease should NOT EVER be a misdemeanor. EVER.
Then again...paying criminals a stipend not to do crime is akin to Danegeld....
Banning open carry is akin to handing criminals the cake...
Enacting legislation to criminalize the citizen whilst enabling the criminal is just the liberal way....
Give felons voting rights? (Florida)
Let three millions illegals automatically vote? (California)...
You better not be a conservative or libertarian...because you will NEVER have any of those as president again...
Democrats are busy rigging, and whilst they do that they are burning down the structure of our nation.
