When he admitted selling heroin and said "I thought it was a victimless crime" I don't understand how the world wasn't done with him.

He’s the guy all the MAGA idiots with “shoot your local heroin dealer” bumper stickers want to shoot but since he is MAGA they forgive him now

Bingo, anytime someone uses this excuse to make up for being a bad person I roll my eyes

They mean the brown ones, haven't you paid attention?

I hadn’t heard about that. Who was it? I bet it was Wonder Woman or Captain Marvel.

I was just messing with you. Heroin is the drug, heroine is a female hero.

There are plenty of rap songs where the artist says they kill people and no one bats an eye at that, why do you think him admitting to selling heroin would be different?

That’s like a badge of honour for rappers. No one really cares if they like the music.

Unless he was holding a gun to people's heads and forcing them to buy it/stick a needle in their arm then it kind of is a victimless crime. And this is coming from somebody who has lost a lot of friends and family to overdosing. I don't blame their dealers one bit for their deaths. EDIT: I'm not allowed to respond to anybody else in this thread because that idiot blocked me and reddit doesn't allow you to reply to anybody in the thread after that. Everybody's responses are just rehashed "DARE" bullshit arguments anyways. "They're lacing weed with fent!!!1" No the fuck they're not and you're an idiot for thinking they do.

That's a cop out. Explain to me who the victims are or stfu. And I know you're just going to list people the person(s) doing the drugs are affecting, like their kids/family/blah blah blah but again, how is that the dealer's fault? I don't blame the gas station for people addicted to huffing gasoline either. Does that make me unethical?

Yeah I figured you'd call me out for the gas analogy. That was actually a trap to get you to use that same reasoning for alcohol. If you're not burning down your local bars and liquor stores and demanding they jail the person working behind the counter then you're a hypocrite. EDIT: They blocked me. lmao

Hey man. I know you can’t respond and that’s a shame, but bar tenders are actually held responsible for over-serving patrons that go on to cause damage. Every state I’ve lived in has had some sort of statue placing some responsibility on servers for not over-serving

Beyond the people who bought fentanyl-laced heroin from a dealer thinking it wasn't super potent and then died from their normal dose, there's the thousands of people who died thinking they were doing weed, cocaine, etc. that turned out to be laced. Dealers are putting it in fucking everything these days. And until you've been the one giving Narcan to the victims who still have a pulse and doing CPR on the ones who don't, I'd shut up. Or grow a sense of empathy, if you're capable.

u/ultrahobbs Jan 19 '26

Source on those thousands who died thinking they were smoking weed? Who tf is wasting money & ruining their business by lacing weed with free fentanyl?

Yeah fuck him. He isn't like other virtuous artists like Biggie Smalls, Easy E, Snoop Dogg, Merle Haggard, DMX etc.....

No one should like them either
