I anyone keeping score?
Dorothy Candy on over doses lol
Candice Lyn Yes.Since Friday alone there have been quite a few.
I think 5 just this weekend I lost a classmate last week to from it too
I see 3 for today alone.
Dorothy Candy so sad
Marie Campanella Dudar It is but if they don’t learn from other’s mistakes maybe they can learn from their own.
All day long it don’t stop! Keep Narcan see it’s not helping
Candice Lyn I think it’s making it worse
Suzan Dunnkosky i do too.
Suzan Dunnkosky Definitely! Just another form of enabling!
Dear god this is so sad
Jeez…how many is that since Last night???? Like 6???
Marie Matthews right!?
Lisa DiMondi ….unbelievable
????????????????
Dam so sad…
I read online don’t know if it’s true but I heard class month or the month before 17 people passed away from overdoses and Tom river alone pretty crazy so sad People out there just make it a joke until it happens to someone they know or golf a bed in their own family then it’s not so funny
Joseph Clappsy Sr. So true it’s no joke. Ocean county is so far behind on autopsies and toxicology tests. They are still working on June 2019 ????. Prayers to these families. No parent wants to go through this
Joseph Clappsy Sr. For sure. So sad. They need to hit rock bottom from this disease but recovery is possible!!
Barbara Sigley Silva it seems everyone knows someone ????
Pikul Suzanne Karla It is so sad to read people mocking someone that could lose their life or has lost their life to him epidemic most of these people have severe problems whether they Were sexually or physically abused as a child and this is the way they medicate themselves but the mock someone that could be dying Or has a problem these people know nothing about they shouldn’t be saying nothing if you don’t have something good to say or summoning courage in don’t say nothing because they have to rule that is someone’s child someone loves that person and when they pass away it ruins other lifes but they just told understand that because you know why thank got nothing better to do but make fun of Other people that know who you call a bully and where I come from police got smacked around because we didn’t like police and that’s just what the people out there that mock them sick people are bullies and I hope and pray it never happens to you or someone in your family then you’ll know how it feels and you will be so tough behind your little telephone pic in front of a sick person’s
Well i did not have a connection but an angel was sent to me. My child is alive because of his foundation and her will to live again. 4 years 4 months clean. Her friend od and was wakeup call! Frigging recovery is possible but gotta work it
I pray for all addicts every night. Not a holy roller at all but i say my silent prayers each day to St Jude for all addicts
Pikul Suzanne Karla yes have seen many gone. Breaks my heart
Barbara Sigley Silva ❤❤❤
Joseph Clappsy Sr. It’s so true trust me. I lost my several family members. I can relate. No one is hurt besides the family and it’s a struggle. I have I unfriended the ones who do the mocking if I knew them. We both know that no one chooses to be an addict. It’s true they self medicate. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone
Barbara Sigley Silva prayers to you and your family ????❤️ Mine wasn’t as fortunate????
Pikul Suzanne Karla so sorry…
Joseph Clappsy Sr. These people who mock think they are perfect and we know they are not. People need to have compassion for the people who have addiction problems. It can happen to anyone. I’ve lost 4 family members it’s no joke
Barbara Sigley Silva thank you. I still struggle and it’s 6 years later ????
Pikul Suzanne Karla so agree
Pikul Suzanne Karla i couldnt even imagine…lost some friends and kids friends. If was mine i would die…
Barbara Sigley Silva I know I just wish people would have compassion. It’s heart wrenching some of these people’s comments and thought process. No one knows what is behind the person who’s using. Most often they are self medicating and many even elderly are addicted because drs got kick backs it’s just awful
Pikul Suzanne Karla hear ya and so agree
I try not to feed into their horrible comments but sometimes i do. So terrible as humans they sound like lowlife scumbags
Barbara Sigley Silva I feel people white average is bullies that’s what they are They feed off other people’s weakness since they know who they are Never ones that probably have for problems than anyone else
Joseph Clappsy Sr. Yep
Joseph Clappsy Sr.
Angela Lei I agree with you. One woman agreed with what he said. I don’t know how she understood one word of it. ????????♀️
Hell of a superbowl party! Methed up
Nasty batch going around
Kelsey Lauren Miller opposed to the good, healthy batches of dope?
Tim Cairns ????♀️
Tim..lol!
sure go ahead and overdose , its nice that you are worried about keeping the neighborhood funeral director some good financial support
Omfg, holy shit! Im shocked ???? can believe this is happening????
WTF
4 this weekend in TR, must be some bad junk going around
Like there is “good” junk?
Jill Matusiewicz Gohr well one that doesn’t kill people would be nice, but the pusher don’t care
Omg ????
The ignorance.
????
And another….smh
Are they trying to beat a record or something this weekend? Damn there’s been a ton this weekend!
Time to stop guarding the popie feilds and burn them. screw the Afghan tribal scum, let them kill each other
Fuck its not even halftime yet
Kevin Gibson Jr. this is like the 4th one since yesterday
Monica Matano to many a day i used to feel bad but not anymore ..
They need to start charging people for the narcan.
Sue Schmidt Adams junkies dont have money for anything but their next fix, but the copper pipes in your house and loose change in your car will pay for that.
Scott Therrien to you they are just junkies to others they are people and family and loved ones don’t judge what you don’t understand coming. From an ex addict
Jay Capasso you don’t become an addict if you don’t pick it up to use it. If you’re dumb enough to use knowing the consequences than you’re a weak minded individual. Survival of the fittest one could say. If you knew a poison apple would kill you, why would you bite into it ? ????
Jay Capasso Thankyou..
People have to understand that ..
Junkie or drug addict loser as some call them.
Could be your loved one.
Addiction does not discriminate….
Sara Gribin sorry none of us are experts. Most are far far from it. The Apple bit is a shite comparison
Sara Gribin while I agree to an extent, a lot of addiction starts right in the doctors office and it’s the something they “pick up and use”.
What the hell is going on in Toms River???
Martha Hickey Kelly epidemic heights it seems
Martha Hickey Kelly same thing that’s going on in brick, lacey, barnagat etc.
It’s everywhere and it won’t stop until America’s thirst for drugs ends.
So probably never.
Toms River is such a shithole full of junkies and idiots who hate junkies lol.
Duff Henderson says the guy who went to barnegat high school. Lmao
I didn’t go to the school of hard knocks that’s for sure ????
No way
That’s four for the weekend, that I am aware of…
3 today in toms river i think
jFC!!!!
Another one????when will itend
Holy shit another one, are they all being revived
Getting like FL, first responders ran out of Narcan one day because there were so many that day.
Where is East Dover?? Is So Toms River the same area???
Janie Vassallo SanGiacomo it’s the section of toms River by island heights and seaside
A cop I know said that area has so many gangs and drugs even the cops are leery about going in there.
Adele Marie get real. Stop spreading lies. I lived there my whole life. It’s the safest place to live. Your seeing more information on drugs because of social media. It’s in the your hometown as well. Open your eyes!
Definitely a bad batch of dope going around loaded with fentanyl.
Jeff Iannuzzelli as apposed to a good batch of heroin?
For the haters that don’t understand the disease…
Patricia Ann Rush disease??? It’s a choice….they chose to snort, smoke or inject the drug. You do not have a choice to end up with cancer. You can prevent heart, kidney or lung disease etc but you do not get to choose if you want the disease. And Narcan saves a life for that moment. Its not a cure to stop the person from using drugs again. We the haters understand that.
Krystyna Wilimczyk Banfield disease. Proven fact by real experts. Not fb experts
Krystyna Wilimczyk Banfield I do agree choice.
Scott A Barnes sir, with all due respect…exactly ZERO percent of the human population will go to a doctor and be diagnosed with “end stage heroin addiction” if that patient NEVER touched heroin in their lives. You’re speaking of numbers in relation to cancer diagnoses on a comparison basis.
People wake up, they don’t feel well and they go to the doctor and are diagnosed with numerous cancers and lymphomas, it’s not a CHOICE, NO ONE would make a CHOICE to pick up a “lymphoma pipe”!!
NO ONE..ZERO percent of the population would become addicts if they didn’t make that FIRST CHOICE to PICK UP the pipe!!
You CANNOT make this argument work for you here, you won’t win no matter how deeply you rationalize it. Sorry but you’re wrong here!
Keith Childers agreed 100%
Instead of narcan being free and given out like candy make medications free or at a reasonable cost for people. Its disgusting that people who did not have a choice come down with a disease(cancer, kidney, lung or heart disease) are denied treatment bc they cant afford the medication or treatment or the insurance company denys the claim.. drug and alcohol addiction affects everyone. However if the person who CHOSE that route does not want help narcan is a temporary solution…and only lasts for that moment. It’s a vicious cycle.
Scott A Barnes these so called experts who sit behind a computer and right this shit out their ass because that’s what they believe is nonsense. Let the experts go out in the real world and see what truly goes down. See lives and familys being destroyed because someone tried the drug for the first time and liked it because of the way it made them feel or to keep the skeletons in the closet or hide something so painful that happened in their life…its a choice..a bad one but its their choice.
Have you ever seen an addict after they have been given narcan and/or brought to the hospital after administration of narcan?? Let me tell you how grateful they are..majority are so verbally abusive and angry that we wasted their high..disease you say??
Krystyna
Wilimczyk Banfield I know this is going to upset a lot of folks and I am not trying to start a fight. However the word “disease” when used in conjunction in the discussion of drug abuse, is a completely misinterpreted misunderstood and overused term.
What else is new
This may or may not be the right time to ask, but is anyone interested in buying a gently used Rubber Chicken?
Brandon Ebbs I’ll take it
Just my opinion here but I think a person should be allowed 1 narcan save.. after that you’re just stupid.. you were given a chance and you should have learned from it…
Tricia Reed
Wait until it is your son, daughter, grandchild, niece, nephew, whomever – then you might think differently about narcan. I wish there was no need for this, but unfortunately there is. Who are we to decide who lives and who doesn’t.
Emily Covella another one
Unfortunately the dealers are let go. If someone dies from an overdose, and the prosecutor knows exactly who sold it to them… that person can’t be charged with liability if say, there was another drug in the persons system… like Xanax or coke for example even though the cause of death was the heroin/fentanyl. Our politicians aren’t spending enough time on the source. Rehabilitation and mental health (for anyone) is expensive and out of reach. There’s a number of failing factors that allow for all these deaths to occur. Murphy just implemented a law this weekend where opioids come with warning labels now…. yeah way to go…. that’ll do it!
Stats on those revived with Narcan??? How many have gotten clean after the got revived and became productive citizens??
Tommy Stigs Stigliano i know of at least 1… unfortunately i also lost a good
Friend
Where does Fentanyl come from ?
