I may not be the brightest light bulb in th...@1:48<br /><br />I may not be the brightest light bulb in the house, but I do understand when programs do not work and having observed the great war on drugs" as Nixon defined it for many decades, compels one to contemplate other solutions. Also, if you want to insult me, try being creative with your insults instead of an often overused noun. Be more imaginative, coward. <br /><br />Hepatitis C and AIDS are STDs. They are blood-born diseases and are transmitted through bodily fluids.<br /><br />I stated that current programs such as methadone do not seem to be working and dispensing heroin to confirmed addicts would stop their need to rob and steal to purchase drugs. It would put a major dent in the international and regional drug trade. Indeed, a tax on herion could help subsidize the program. Those who abuse themselves with narcotics will continue whether the drugs are purchased on the street or in a clinic under controlled conditions. If you think my idea is so far fetched, ask all the mothers who have lost a child to overdoses. Or the gas station attendant who experienced staring at the end of a gun. Or the many bank tellers who with increasing frequency, listen to that now familiar refrain, "I have a gun and I want the money." <br /><br />Hey Anonymous Coward, if you have a better plan, as the elephant says, "I'm all ears."Bill Katzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728615831296283503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-1916881555365560942016-01-14T21:32:45.434-05:002016-01-14T21:32:45.434-05:00Maybe this post didn't make it to you yesterda...Maybe this post didn't make it to you yesterday,I'll try again. Kevin, Regarding your remark at 2:06 pm on the 13th, the difference between my "clean little suburb" and Hartford is that we take our garbage out once a week. HPD gets a dumpster out once a year and thinks that will suffice,especially when people like you get all giddy when they do their job in a small way.Quite often Hartfrord's garbage (murderers,thieves ,rapists,drug dealers,drug users,unlisenced-uninsured-reckless drivers, etc.) floats over onto our property and we take care of that too. I was born,raised and now work in Hartford. If you offered me a free house on the street I was born on,I WOULD'NT ACCEPT IT! Kevin,your more of an "illusionist" than a "cheerleader" for Hartford. Please don't encourage my neighbors to come into the city and "have a great meal in ANY one of your great neighborhoods" you might put one of my friends in jeopardy by making it seem like things are'nt as "bad as they seem in the paper" Funny,but I can't remember the last time my "clean little suburb" had reported a murder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-55378799413078621902016-01-14T15:39:36.236-05:002016-01-14T15:39:36.236-05:00"This operation was conducted because of nume..."This operation was conducted because of numerous citizens complaints" - that's the catchphrase in every warrant or police report that establishes probable cause for illegal searches.

It's situated down the street from a methadone clinic, across the street from a homeless shelter, and around the corner from the revolving doors of the drug corridor that is park street. It will never look like a park in West Hartford, not ever. Arrests will be made, but just like the Hooker problem on Franklin and Wethersfield, there is a certain segment of the population that can't be fixed. Sorry, but this is what you get in sanctuary cities. All our services draw in a less desirable segment of society like a magnet. It's truly sad.

Great idea, lets give away something that completely incapacitates and sickens people on a daily basis to the point that they are incapable of being productive members of society. Besides there already are clinics that give out the government sanctioned high, methadone. That seems to be working out great. Feel free to go observe the success of the city's clinics on Main Street or on Leibert road. That's not going to stop the overdoses. Also, STDs and heroin aren't closely related. If you want to know about prevalent herion related diseases, it's more along the lines on Mrsa, hep, and AIDS. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-40898230115662925682016-01-13T23:03:55.548-05:002016-01-13T23:03:55.548-05:00Black lives matter??

And that tone needs to be consistent. Also keep in mind, we are not an island in Hartford, The guns, the drugs, the related crime does not only occur in a vacuum in Hartford. It does bleed over into your clean little suburbs. Those drug users are probably climbing through windows , burglarizing homes right down the street from you to get the money satisfy their addictions. And as you can see from the report, they are not all Hartford residents. <br /><br />So yes, the Mayor's message is right on point. If that means supporting Hartford by having a great meal in any one of our neighborhoods or attending an event in Hartford, give it a try and be part of the change. You might even meet some great people during your attempt and realize we aren't really as bad as you read in the paper.KEVIN BROOKMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06597937634837295016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-55609819627442903412016-01-13T20:39:29.662-05:002016-01-13T20:39:29.662-05:00Didn't Hartford spend thousands of dollars re...Didn't Hartford spend thousands of dollars renovating South Green Park just a few years ago ?

Am I supposed to believe HPD is that naive and blind all these years that they needed "citizens" to act as "informants" to expose this illegal activity ? The only way you could make the drug activity on that little pie wedge more noticible would be to put up a billboard with an arrow pointing down stating "BUY AND SELL DRUGS HERE" For those that don't know this park,it is situated in the middle of one of the busiest intersections in the city,one of the streets being MAIN ST ! It's about 60 yards long and at its widest point about 30 yards,no trees or privacy fence. I wouldn't be surprised if you told me a thousand cars a day pass by there (I guess no cruisers do though) What an embarrassment for HPD ,IN THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF US FAMILIAR WITH THAT SCENARIO FOR "DECADES"! Hey HPD , here's another "hot tip" for you guys,,,,,THOSE PEOPLE HANGING OUT AT SIGOURNEY PARK AREN'T PLAYING DOMINOES !
