Simply appalling how TPD and TCHD have failed to put out an APB on this to every citizen in the hopes of stopping these senseless deaths opting instead to focus in on finding the "killers". If it's heroin, then our own government may be to blame. Big cities would be making this news front and center to protect young people from dying.

Well lets see ..... if you just don't do drugs, then you have nothing to worry about. Drugs are dangerous! A little common sense will go a long way.

SAD INDEED.  Chalk up yet more blood, according to the measure of innocence and guilt weighed by GOD, to the account of this hypocritical generation.

These responses make me even sadder. Righteousness isn't a virtue. Never had an addictive personality in your families? Probably do but don't know it or can't deal with it. So people who break your moral standards...they just deserve to die. And God is just too happy to deliver the sentence because he's weighed their innocence vs their guilt and he has no choice. They gotta go. Geez, we're just so lucky he hasn't noticed all the gluttonous overweight sinners here in Okieville. That sin of lust for food and money just doesn't rank with the others I guess. Humans are hypocrits period. This generation, the last one, the next one...you.

I think you got my word twisted there, waterboy.  Wickedness was at play in these peoples death.  And cause for effect, many in the world fall slain due to the backslidden ways of our selfish rulers, who forsake the truth and mercy.

1 Corinthians 4:4

"For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. (v.5) Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God."

The loonies are really out in force today.
Must be Halloween.

[waterboy]

I am well acquainted with wickedness. Please don't try to preach the word to us here. Or start your own thread with scripture as the topic and you won't have to worry about people questioning you or your faith. Perhaps you could school others with truth and mercy deficits like Cubs.

Is it possible these people were poisoned at a local watering hole rather than a self-induced overdose?? Date rape drugs and other narcotics can easily be slipped into a person's drink.

[rwarn17588]

One of those could have been a person who stopped in to the bar for one drink after work and got poisoned.

Of course, the fundamentalists who rail against alcohol should remember that Jesus drink and served wine.

You're a crazy person.  How do you possibly go from:
mysterious drug deaths -> our government is to blame -> Tulsa is lame?

You know what "big cities" do?  They wait for the number of overdoses to hit 100 or more over a several-month period.  Then, and only then, does the story make the papers.

And youze guys and gals think I am full of it. All it takes is one of these goons to show up to get things back in perspective.

Agreed. But it looks more city wide than a single watering hole.

And Floyd, YOU are making that leap not me. I am merely pointing out what sophisticated cities do in this case. And it does not take more than 5 deaths in a two day period to get health departments and police to pay attention once the common denominator is drug use. The sad thing is death.

And if you think I am a crazy person, that makes you a moron.

No one is saying this isn't sad.  I said you're a crazy person because you somehow manage to infer from this article Tulsa is unsophisticated.  It's a total non sequitur and it undercuts your credibility.

My point in posting is to show that these circumstances, as well as the city's reaction to it, have nothing whatsoever to do with the size or level of sophistication of the city.  You made this jump.  That's why I called you crazy.  You're like that weird aunt who doesn't understand what everyone else is discussing so you start hurling accusations.

[aoxamaxoa]

Sorry. With our crime rate here what it is, I will refer to our security force as unsophisticated.

And as far as the County Health Department on this issue, I reserve final judgement.

Like I am concerned about my credibility here with you posties. "Believe it if you need it if not just pass it on...."
