???? OMG
Just sad
So sad. Dam the devil
Why are they open so late
Beachy Shasha they aren’t. Must be employees
Or it could’ve happened earlier and an employee found them. But it is a shame.
Beachy Shasha Home Depot open to 8pm now
Anthony Armato I no I work there lol
Beachy Shasha lol you tricked me lol
Lowe’s went back to closing at 9pn via corporate decision
Anthony Armato Loews closes at 7 pm
Beachy Shasha Do you think if they closed earlier this person wouldn’t have overdosed somewhere else? This is an addiction and it’s a shame.
Patricia Nosiay Clarino just asked a question
Mary Elizabeth they changed and back to 9pm
Taryn Rasmussen they did ? .. Thanks for letting me know
Dan Cummings. ????????????????????
????????????
No disrespect but why do people go to corporate stores bathrooms and parking lots to overdose? Anyone else wonder what the allure is?
Bill Wimmer not necessarily the allure of the public corporate bathroom, but probably the closest after they make their purchase.
Bill Wimmer they have very little self- respect and could care less who’s around. Think it’s pretty selfish on the person’s part. #badchoices
Stupidity
Addiction is a disease I’m sorry that may bother some but that is my opinion
Steve Dante
you do realize heroin is not addiction? Addiction is addiction. It is a disease of the brain ????. Heroin is for lack of a better term the symptom. You can literally be addicted to anything example drugs,sex,tv,candy,porn,video games,alcohol, etc. addicts are addict far before a needle hits their arm. Not here to debate but your post is merely stupid and uneducated
Bill Wimmer maybe they want to be found if they overdose and receive Narcan. Somewhere public is safe.
You guys are over thinking this. It’s not he closest place for them to get enough privacy. If they think they can get away with doing it right on the street they’ll do that.
Bill Wimmer yeah right? You figure they’d go into the woods or by the river.
Bill Wimmer I believe because they’re bigger. More home to sprawl out when you hit the floor.
I think its more that they have a better chance of being found if they overdose maybe it’s a new type of heroin they haven’t used before. If they are In a public place and overdose they might receive medical help
Joey Campisano you choose to shoot heroin you don’t choose to have cancer which is a disease. stop sugar coating this crap.
thats where they meet their dealers. theres your easiest answer. they wanna get high so they do it where they bought it
Brandon Fennell funny. It’s a medically recognized disease.Ill slow it down and say it again….
M E D I C A L L Y
R E C O G N I Z E D
D I S E A S E.
That means that a whole bunch of PHD’s… waaaaay smarter than you… determined this. ????????♂️ Your lack of understanding is the only thing keeping you from seeing it.
Brandon Fennell you are extremely misinformed and close minded. Fortunately I’ve never been addicted to drugs in my life but luckily god gave me brain. We are not speaking on opinion this is fact. Again not here to attack u and no one is sugar coating anything, not one single drug attack in the world was just sitting around and said ohh look a needle let’s stick it in my arm. So a rebuttal to your point you don’t choose shooting heroin and as i stated earlier the brain is already addicted far before heroin is even a thought or a choice in your words. please read a book.
Bill Wimmer they don’t plan on overdosing
Steve Dante addiction is a very bad thing , so sad
Steve Dante It takes stupidity to make the choice to start .. the disease comes later… It all starts with a choice..
It takes stupidity to make the choice to start .. the disease comes later… It all starts with a choice..
Abe Froman ok lets just say it is a disease… if I have a disease I’m seeking treatment. The choice to get help vs continue to use is still…. A CHOICE!
Abe Froman this all started when the founders of AA opened clinics for alcoholics. They pushed for alcoholism to be considered a disease so they could charge medical insurance for their own rehab centers. It was all about money when it started and it’s all about money now. There are inhibitors that when taken prevent the feeling of being high. If it wasn’t about money all drug addicts would get an implant (like a birth control) and it would prevent you feeling high. Period. There would be no benefit to using drugs and there would be no more accidental overdoses.
Tammy Watson the founders of AA? Dr. Bob and Bill W? You people know zero about the disease. Continue to be ignorant. It makes for entertaining comments, if nothing else. ????????♂️

True reply ..
My son is a recovering addict.
These bathrooms are where the DEAL is made.
They USE in the same place they BUY .
Its horrible .
It has nothing to do with WANTIng To be in a public place so narcan can be used
So if the deal was made in the rest room wouldn’t security cameras by the entrances or nearby aisle see who the dealer is? Person should be banned from the store
Unfortunately addiction does not discriminate…. Just remember it can be your son/ daughter, husband/wife… It sucks yes… But millions of people do recover..
Patchy Albora it wouldnt do a thing. its not like the body is usually found in a timely fashion. it usually takes a bit of time. to many possible people in and out who could be the dealer, but you have no probable cause because you cant prove the transaction was done in the bathroom to begin with
I dont think their plan is to overdose, they are just trying to get high. Usually they take to much and that’s how the overdose occurs.
I thought all bathrooms were closed off to the public and all extat bushments that are open for business how do these sneak in the an overdose what is wrong with these people man I’ll tell you they need help An epidemic that we got going on right now you think these people would come to some kind of sense I know it’s a sick and they are sick but come on enough is enough go get yourself help from God sakes you know what you’re putting your family through never mind yourself I feel so badd for the moms and dads and gramaw’s in grand pause that got a wary about their child that has a drug problem and overdoses most of them on a regular basis they know soon as get out of the hospital and do it again get yourself help if you don’t want it for yourself care about your family for god’s sake And I don’t wanna hear all the negative South and say it’s not as easy shift bank it really is lock yourself in a Rome shoot yourself in a foot and get over it Enough is enough
Joseph Clappsy Sr. Wow, your comments are always so interesting. NOT
Between the bad spelling, no punctuation, words that aren’t even words and sentences that make no sense, please proofread before you post in the future. Thanks.
1)stores are allowed to have bathrooms open. 2) what did I just read?
Jaime M DePaola , read carefully…. There’s two reasons , why this post is like that …. Both of which you’ll even feel more dumb , after you just said that …. So have a heart ❤️ ….
It’s not a state park
Joseph Clappsy Sr. Were you overdosing while typing that. ?
Joseph Clappsy Sr. LEAST PUNCTUATION AND HOW TO SPELL
Joseph Clappsy Sr. Lowe’s isn’t a state park you jackass, state park bathrooms are closed
Mike Rizzuto Read what? What 2 reasons?
Jaime M DePaola , well technically 3 reasons …. 1 , everyone with a cell has talk to text feature so we all know if you speak it sometimes it doesn’t text what you originally said in the beginning , 2 the person is trying to use our language and 3 the person may be a verbal issue ….
Beth Lane wow the spelling police are out watch out she’s a smart one she went to that bastion of higher education ocean community college
Mike Rizzuto What makes you think he’s foreign by saying he’s trying to use our language?
Rocky Hector Oh stop it. The man needs to learn how to put together coherent sentences and use punctuation.
There’s nothing wrong with Ocean County College. Smart ass.
Jaime M DePaola , for the exact reason of not using proper punctuations and proper grammar ??? There’s nothing wrong with it in my opinion…. But people may have freedom of speech , but talking down on someone because of their speaking and typing issue isn’t right…. And it’s disrespectful ….

Bathrooms are not closed they are still open and stores are open until 9 pm.. (not employees!!!)
Tyler Belostock
Joe Amzler
Jeeze
I didn’t think the bathrooms were even open. praying they get the help they need.
Debbie Andrian Tyler not a state park
I thought public bathrooms were closed too. Crazy.
Guess the 20% off coupon didn’t work
????????
They probably score in the parking lot and go inside to shoot up. And because it’s a public place if they overdose they feel they will probably be found
Bethann Galvin-Smith They’re not worried about that.
Michael Anthony
Bathroom makes sense. No cameras its total privacy and they can stay in their long enough to enjoy the total cycle of the high from start to what I guess is the paradise. A users best high is the 1 that brings them closest to death. And when they get hit with the Narcan they at times get violent with whoever administers it cuz they were taken back from their best high ever. But the next day they can get that amazing high all over again.
In short Bathrooms make sense for a user.
Yea. We know.
Time for the US to invest in the blue lights in the bathrooms like they have in the UK! T
YES!
Denise Desiree Capizzo Stewart i am not familiar with this. what do the blue lights do?
Sandi Joy The blue lights make it difficult for them to see their veins. I have family in Scotland and all of the malls and store bathrooms have it. Same in England etc
https://www.npr.org/2019/09/03/756976676/blue-lights-may-deter-intravenous-drug-use-in-public-spaces
They were first put into use in 2005 in the UK
Denise Desiree Capizzo Stewart wow! Thanks for the info. Sounds like a great idea – will make it tough for us ladies trying to do a makeup touch up but that’s a price I’m willing to pay haha
Sandi Joy lol it is a little bit odd having experienced it myself wow in Scotland’s LOL.
Denise Desiree Capizzo Stewart some Starbucks in philly have these i had read an article about it. Excellent.
Also i thought bathrooms were closed in the stores.
They obv worked there because they were closed at the time it happened
store closes at 9 and usually still have customers inside wow to the ignorant comments
they obviously didn’t work there
article made after it happens
????????????
The individual was a customer with a son. He was narcaned and walked right out of store.
Shawnee Wills are you serious that’s so fucked up
Charlie Caravella yes unfortunately it was true.
Shawnee Wills that so messed up can’t believe they just let him walk right out
Charlie Caravella it is. But unfortunately in the world we live in today. People get mere slap on the wrists for it now.
What about the welfare if the child?
Erika Resto im not sure what happened with the child
Oh no..all I think about is that child..to witness that and then go back home..ugh
They do have some beautiful bathrooms
Rusty Kennedy
Tom Dumansky no wonder the line is so long there all the time lol
Teri Lecuyer Carroll
A junkie did it once before
Stop giving them narcan. Let them fucking die. Make opiate overdose a fucking scary thing again so people think twice about starting it. Having a “Pulp Fiction” style instant mulligan available over the counter is the reason so many people experiment with it today.
Sarah Owen Clancy Toms River classy as always
