INJECTION SITES, NOT BATS

Regarding the article Bat-wielding ' hero' slammed by critics (July
13).

I don't agree with Dave McCallum threatening two intravenous drug
users with a baseball bat, but I sympathize with him. Living in the
core, I see drug paraphernalia littering the sidewalks. I witness
people cooking drugs in Market Lane. Needles are discarded in Ivey and
Harris parks. Isn't it better for everyone that this activity happen
at a safe injection site rather than in our streets?
