they dont look very high level… high level user maybe…. taxpayer funded apartment?? catch the guy selling them the smack!! this is embarressing… look at them… they are victims of the drug epidemic… no winning outcome for them for the rest of thier lives… be lucky to have a license and full time job ever again… they will never be able to afford to live on their own… our selected and unelected officials did this!!
To “ Getting Played “ :
So if all that is true why don’t we just take them around back , execute them , and be done with it once and for all ?
Why waste anymore resources on this low life element of society ?
Our governor and Portland elected officials can not handle the drug problem the State has. . She is a failure!
“drug trafficking at the building.” What is going on?
@ Nancy K, way to much money to be made keeping them going, Narcan, rehab, etc. They serve a purpose for all the NGO’s sucking up our tax money. Pretty sad all the way around, imo.
And I thought Franklin Towers was an old folks home…
Thank your governor, AG, SS. These are her/their people.
I looked at the photos and felt my IQ drop. Looks like Portland street on any given afternoon.
Can only imagine what their ” customers ” look like.
Franklin Towers need to check residents real age, they must have thought this guy was 80, he looks like he needs a good meal rather than a good buzz! C’mon man!
The Mills administration is redoubling its anti-drug campaign – repetitive radio spots warning about the dangers of tobacco, first, second, and now even third hand smoke in open areas. Oh, warnings about vaping too.
I can picture it, sitting around a campfire in the evening, enjoying a cigarette and getting a lecture from a ranger about the tiny waft of smoke from the cigarette while ignoring billowing smoke from the campfire.
These are the people the Socialist Democrats in Augusta and Portland demand we give our tax money to. So much so, they need a supplemental budget to cover their wasteful reckless handouts!
While WE are expected to do without.
HAGGERD is the term it think……………
Looks like they need some coke.
