Just when I thought that "Blue Cities" were the worst places on earth, I'm gifted with this heartwarming story of a kind and gentle city caring for their homeless; mentally challenged; and drug afflicted citizens. I believe this is money well spent. Glad it wasn't wasted on silly things like rehab, homeless shelters, and food. Well, I'll let your heart fill with joy by reading the story for yourself:
"By a line of ragged RVs slung along 78th Street in South Los Angeles, a seven-member team passes out glass pipes used for smoking opioids, crack and methamphetamine.

Isn't that one of the most touching things you've ever heard of? Let's make sure all those drug addicts can OD over and over again by offering items that will bring them back from the brink of death over and over again. This is some of the most sane leadership I've ever heard of. I think it would be a nice touch, though, to have the local cops inject these good people with the drug of their choice. I mean, it is their job to serve.
With fentanyl deaths soaring, L.A. County is giving out drug pipes and other supplies

Pipe handouts and other harm reduction can be a bridge to treatment, and cut infection and disease, including HIV. But pipes are controversial, not just in GOP circles but on Skid Row, a drug "recovery zone" that saw the worst of the crack epidemic.
