DeBlasio opens legalized heroin injection sites in New York City
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio ...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserved him...and the New York City Health Department announced Tuesday the opening of the first legalized heroin injection sites in the US. Addicts can bring illegal drugs to these locations and inject them under supervision. According to officials staff at the locations will administer medication to reverse overdoses, give out clean needles, and provide information on addiction treatment. They claim that the staff will not be providing the drugs. The sites, called Overdose Prevention Centers (OPC) are located in Harlem and Washington Heights. There was tremendous pushback to the proposed locations and according to residents, with little to no community outreach or public comment. According to WCBS, Syderia Asberry-Chresfield who has lived in Harlem for over 30 years, but is considering leaving for good, due to the rampant drug use in the area. "We have 22 schools within a two-block radius of these methadone clinics. This is normalizing behavior for our children. There’s nothing normal about this." Asberry-Chresfield is the co-founder of the Greater Harlem Coalition, and says the drug-related programs are bringing users, and their dealers, to Harlem from other areas.
