What a POS, but at least it was the result of regular ol drug addiction instead of some religious nut job making a "statement" that medications are "unholy and unnatural" or some bullshit.
It unfathomably amazes me that someone intelligent and dedicated enough to get a nursing license was so stupid they didn't know to use something sterilized to replace it with. Drugged up Addict or not.
That's literally what addiction does to people. It makes them unrecognizable. That doesn't excuse it, but it's just the way addiction works. So many comments deriding this person's intelligence when it has zero to do with that.
This is why addiction treatment and social services are so shitty in the US. People are so ready to insult others before trying to understand them, yet the solution to things like this require exactly that understanding. It's like homelessness and NIMBYs. If they're so concerned about the homeless encroaching on their property values, then they should take action to reduce its causes. But instead they'd rather blame, shame, and...expect them to disappear into thin air apparently.
Weird flex
Why? I kinda wondered the same thing at first. It seems the religious nut jobs have no problem ending someones life if they don't agree with what they believe.
