I'd certainly want to prosecute and punish anyone, from any background, who burglarized my home: that is inexcusable behavior by anyone, whoever they are.
But that's not the issue.
The issue is how you and others here are singling out, judging, and condemning a class of your fellow Americans based upon fear and quasi-hysteria, ala Fox News.
Sure, many addicts are criminals, but not all are; just as many non-addicts, folks from privileged backgrounds, turn to crime.
Criminal behavior cuts across all socio-economic lines: always has, always will.
No,the WOW trail isn't the real problem: our society and its failure to engage all of its members is the problem.
You want to end homelessness, end addiction?
Give people meaning and something to live for.
Easy to say, hard to do, but that is what it would take.
