The best contribution he could have made to the world would have been to be a good father to his children. He failed. Eff him.
When I said he knew what he was doing, what I meant was that it wouldn't surprise me if he committed suicide instead of accidental overdose. The amount that he had and the amount that he'd done (based on the empty bags) in such a relatively short time is just mind boggling for someone just trying to get high. But what do I know?
Interesting. I suppose some of those who support the death penalty would say the criminal doesn't deserve to die euphorically while the con group would be against it no matter what. And then there are some, like me, who wouldn't really care if there were a few moments of euphoria as long as punishment is dealt. I tend to think that all the little moments and regret (if there is any) that add up in the last 24 hours before being strapped in is enough. I have faith that true punishment or salvation will be met after the fact. Go ahead and give them 50 bags of heroin.
I will add one parting shot at the mother of his children. She has told police that she saw him the afternoon prior and believed him to be high. Yet she was still planning on handing their children over to him the following morning. I'm sorry mom, but your first priority is your babies. You should have told him that he would have no access to his children if he's using. Think of the possibilities if she had done that. Of course he could still be dead but she would have done the right thing.
