What a shame!

[Agree]

Every employer in the area from resturant workers to hotel maids should be drug tested on a regular random basis. Why the lowly domestic workers? Because drug use makes thieves out of people and they will steal from the customers or general public to meet that need. Postal workers will start plundering the mail such as greeting cards and the like for any cash that might be in them. Clerks in stores start stealing and before they are caught they have cost the owners thousands of dollars. Drug abusers are like the cold virus they are everywhere, in schools, hospitals, doctors offices and retail stores and yes on our police dept. sheriff dept. as well, they drive school buses many times, they stand behind the podium and preach many times, they are our neighbors, friends and relatives so keep your eyes open and report any suspicion of drug activity and lets stomp this disease out. Preachers get some balls and start preaching against the use of drugs that alter the human behavior and personality just like alcahol does, no different in comming to church drinking than comming to church buzzed on drugs even if the doctor gave them to you, if he gave you alcahol would you drink it? probably not so put the dope aside and live in the real world and learn to deal with it.

that's right.. this is a DISEASE. these people are fighting a fight 4 their life. they might be more willing 2 ask for and get help if people didn't judge them so harshly. they should not be labeled druggies n pillheads. addiction does not discriminate, this could very well b YOUR child, YOUR sibling, YOUR spouse! would u want people tearing them 2 shreds? don't b a part of the problem be a part of the solution!

[Praying]

I know Martin and his family. He has always been a
very respectful young man. His Mother must be devastated as well as his wife and kids. I will be praying for him and his family. I hate that this has happened, I would have never suspected.

I don't consider addiction a disease. I believe it to be a personality trait. People with addictive personalities will allow themselves to "need" their chosen vise. Be it drugs, alcohol, food, lottery or even the internet. Calling it a disease is more enabling to an addict. I agree kindness goes a long way but how kind would you be to a man that broke in and beat and robbed your elderly Grandmother that has cancer? How kind can you be to the drunk driver that hits your car and kills your child? How kind can you be to the "christian" that is all perfect in Church, but you seen them shoplifting? My kindness is perhaps based on my tolerance for people that use "disase" to make it sound like they had no choice. Addicts have a choice; to use or not to use... The real question is why? Why did Mr Wright choose to deal drugs? Why are you defending drug addicts aka "druggies n pillheads"?
YOU are part of the problem, you are an ENABLER. Stop defending their choices and help them to make better ones.

Bravo! Well said!

What I want to know is where did the drugs come from? For every street dealer you take off the street there is 10 more take their place.If this was pot he was caught with they would have went to the source and found their selves on the border busting a mexican gang. It seems that our gov just lets these pills out into the street and only bust the small guy.Where is the doctor that gave him the pills. The doctors and pill companys are the real pushers. Im not taking up for Mr. Wright, he knew better and Im sure he will pay dearly. Im also sure there is more to this story but I feel like everytime there is a street dealer busted there should also be a doctor to go with him or her.The only people feeling the pain and paying are the common men. When a doctor is is giving someone 150 oxys,and 90 percasets per month,for a bad back or a hurt leg, how is he not pushing drugs? There is many once good people that has fell to the waste side over these so called pain killers. We need to mount up and make our gov stop this even if it takes dragging them out of the white house by the hair of their heads.We are no better in this country than what we where back when btitain had controll over us. Our rights are all but gone. We are nothing but a bunch of test rats and this is nothing but another experiment!!!!

[unbelievable]

im 50 years old and i can honestly tell you that ive never been more shocked!

[kindness goes farther]

this is my point, im not defending the action, i am however defending the human being. u can't believe that any addict would have chosen that life? u also shouldn't believe that this "disease" won't or couldn't effect one of your loved ones. i happen to know several of god's children that have been plaqed with addiction, and no one could be any harder on them than they r themselves. instead of attacking the person on a public forum, pray 4 them to get help. i pray 4 people to get more knowledge about what addiction is. it's not a moral dilemma, it's a well studied disease. if we don't give people the opportunity to change ..how can we expect they will.

[well]

addiction and trafficing is two separate things. is he addicted as well as received goods?

[brown eyes]

you cant judge them all for one persons mistake

[Jackasses]

I think that everyone should just stay out of Martin and Michelle's business and let them take care of it. Yes what he did was wrong, in not saying it wasn't by any means, just as I'm sure he knows that it was wrong. He doesn't need U, me or any other Tom, Dick n Harry to tell him that. But to get on here and talk bad about someone makes u no better than anyone else in God's eyes. So before u judge and belittle people, think about what u are saying and whose lives u are affecting. Buncha mean ass morons!!!

[brown eyes]

state workers do get drug tested

[Desperate]

dont bother wrote:

<quoted text> I agree, and what bothers me the most is the "christians and preachers" that are on prescription drugs and are in just as bad a shape as the biggest druggie in the county. I don't see any difference. Those preachers stand up there and tell everybody how sinful they are and they are just as bad. Sin is sin and if you over prescribe yourself (legal or illegal) you are the biggest sinner of them all!!!!!! You Preachers are a danger not only to citizens but to the souls of the ones you are preaching to. REPENT and get off your drugs. Ask God to heal you or are you afraid that he will and you will have to give up your CHECK!!!!

Preachers? You must be kidding!

Preachers? Are you being serious?

[Who]

martin who?????

[Judge This]

You clain you are disabled yet you run out every night preach and hunt and mow grass and drag race and sing and jump and kick and yell and hollor and you are disabled with lung disease or back problems, my assumption is you are lazy and want to get a check while you do what it is that you like doing, thats it isn't it? You grab these love offerings and make tons of money preaching/singing and uncle sam knows nothing of it, he might be informed though. Drag racing and being jerked around doesn't hurt your back huh? but can't sit on equipment and operate it for a good living have to have that check, what a fraud you are. repent get right with God and you'll stop all that mess. Your credability is destroyed working unsaved people see you and scoff at what a lazy jerk you are and your light shines about as bright as you are what a shame.

If this were someone on welfare,using food stamps, or having their rent paid by HUD, would the comments on this thread be a lot different?

[nonsense]
