RJ, a friend of mine, was put in the hospital on the weekend because some worthless abortion of an afterbirth Crackhead sucker-punched him. He went to visit a friend who lives in a huge rooming house full of alkies, winos, crackheads. I know, not a sensisble place to be but RJ has mild F.A.S.(Fetal-Alcohol_Syndrome) and CEREBRAL PALSY. Think of the single most harmless and pleasant peron you know...well RJ is like that. His dad just recently died in an accident so evryone has been looking out for him. And now this.

He was standing in the shared lvingroom talking to his (non-crackhead) friend. One of the poor exuses for humanity who lives there walked up and sucker-punched RJ full force in the side of his head. RJ has a shunt in the side of his to drain fluids from his brain. If it gets jolted badly enough it could lead to his death. RJ was wise enough to walk to the police station (maybe 2 blocks away), press charges and get straight to the hospital.

People that assualt anyone in that manner are byond redemption. Their only hope is to have a psychotic break which they will interpret as being a cupcake with death, finding their salvation as born-again jesus-freaks handing out chick-tracts. Speaking from personal experience with Crystal, I can tell you that if crackers and jibheads get just one shot of their drug, they become evil. Its just what both drugs do, its part of the high. Add to fact that Crack is expensive AND a really shitty 15 second buzz, no wonder Crackheads are extra psycho.

I think the terms of Justifiable Homicide should be widened to include Crackheads and Jibheads (Jib=crystal concocted in bath-tub, hence Jibhead)
The problem with Jibheads is that shooting them just makes the meaner, not neccessarily deader.

No matter how hard I try I can't stop myself from hating Crackheads and JibHeads. The urge to use them for target practice has crossed my mind in the past. Maybe its because I was a Crystal Kid back in the day and I know how tiny a persons reason and soul gets when on that stuff. I think violence in general stinks just as much as any given crackhead, but this is the first time in years I've been moved towards it. It wouldn't solve much to curb-stomp the crachead who assualted my friend. It would just get me into trouble. But it would be satisfying.



Anyone else hate crakheads as much as I do?

I don't hate crackheads, but I've never had any experience with them. As it is, I just find them rather sad.

Nope. I choose to like or dislike people based on their own actions, rather than based on broad stereotypes applied to them.

EDIT:
To make it clearer, I dislike the actions of the specific person you described, but the actions don't seem to have a great deal of connection to his alleged cocaine use. The "crackheaded-ness" or "non-crackheaded-ness" doesn't have anything to do with it, from here.

*points to thread title* errmm crackheads has a K in it... *points* see, the k?

I don't hate people who use drugs, I've never even met anyone who takes drugs. But I don't exactly respect their decision to use them.

while your topic title initially annoyed me, once I read your first point I can certainly understand and sympathize with your anger

and my sympathies to your friend

Let me be a little more EXPLICIT: I have been a JIbHead, Ihave dealt and I have made Crystal. I've seen these people, I know them because I used to be just like them. Drugs have universal side effects, things they do to anyone one them. When a person is high on crack or Crystal, they become evil, pariticularily after prolonged use. If a person is struggling with an ACTIVE addiction of any kind, you CANNOT trust them with anything. Crack and Meth both prompt violent begaviour while on and off the drug.

I can both understand and empathize with the great pain they have in their life and how that intertwines with their addictions. But it doesn't change the fact that these people will kill over a dollar.

My attitude is based in part on simple survival. The furthe one stays away from addicts, the better.

Hate takes too much energy. You should really learn to let go.

All the crackheads I know aren't dangerous, just really annoying. They beg for a handout and don't want to take no for an answer. If you have really bad kids who constantly beg for a certain toy, constantly whining "Please" then you know what it's like to deal with a crackhead, only crackheads are more persistant. One crackhead I know recently saw me on the street. She spent the next 15 minutes following me around, begging me for some cash, and offering me oral. (I wouldn't stick my dick in that mess if she paid me.) That's 15 full minutes until I got to my friend's house and went inside. She knows she's not welcome in there.

I know, and I agree. This is the last big batch of hate I have been unable to rid myself of. I usually find it extremely easy to forgive people, but this time its just too much. I'll get over my haterd of these swine some other time...right now I'm too pissed off.

I love them. They are worth 5 points if you can get them to bounce more than 5 feet. Given how much weight they have dropped to drugs, they dont even damage the car much. Its not like its a crime to to bounce them off your front bumper anyway.

Seriously though, do you have a solution for the problem? There will always be addicts. As much as I detest them, I dont like the idea of govt getting involved until they actually do something wrong. When that happens, I say throw the book at them. I dont care if their judgement was impaired by drugs, I am concerned about results not motivation.

That being said, I think the person prone to random spontaneous violence should be judged harsher than someone who methodically planned out a crime against a specific individual.

Whats worse for society, a person who plans out and executes the murder of someone they hate/for money or someone who randomly(perhaps because of drugs) kills someone in a drugged out haze? Who poses the greater threat? I would say the random violence person.

what are the odds that someone who killed their spouse/lover is going to kill again vs someone who killed another for no reason?

I have no problem with crackheads and speedfreaks. They have made their own choices in their own lives. I feel a bit sorry for them, it seems like a terrible fate, getting hooked on some drug and not having your own brain anymore, but hey, whatever.
