Is drug abuse a public health issue or strictly a criminal issue? Do addicts suffer from a drug dependency or a character flaw? And, if toy think it's a character flaw, should justice be served, or should, as you suggest, addicts be shot down like mad dogs due to their character flaw?Why not take care of the addicts the same way they were in the early days, instantly. When someone shot an addict, no one even cared. It was taking out the trash. No report, no arrest. Stop feeding them and giving them medical care. When a family helps by locking the addict in a basement or attic, it's an act of responsible social conscience.
The sight of addicts dead in the street may well discourage others from taking drugs.
