NO SYMPATHY

I don't feel bad that there is bad "heroin" out there (actually the 
police confirm it is fentanyl.)

Most addicts choose that life and take the risk of having a bad dose.

I have been working on the new Powell Street overpass and have to 
watch out for needles and anything else that may harm me from these 
people. A few less addicts will not hurt this world.

I would like to come home to my family and not have to decontaminate 
myself before I walk in the door just because I had a job to do. 
These addicts chose this and they get what they get - just like me 
with my actual job!
