This is just too sad! I hope there is some type of lesson in this story, but I fear it just echoes a trend. The need for a supply of drugs to feed a horrendous habit begins to outweigh all else and certain tragedy follows.
. When a human being reaches the point that he would brutally kill the one person in the world that nurtured him long before he took his first breath, he is no longer human. There is no place in this society for such a mass of cells clinging together merely due to the drug induced mucous oozing from within.
. This is the most abominable of crimes and should be punished as such.
