    I got news for you moms, his future was never that bright to begin with. Sooner you figure that out the sooner you can quit your crusade to interfere w my life as I respectfully stay out of yours.

        Oh but it is: they did it with drugs and tried it with alcohol. Then their buddies privatize prisons and make a killing locking up those of us who think it none their damn business what we choose to do.

          What gonna happen these crying rooster suckers gonna make a big stink and im never gonna get chance to play at those US books!!

          Anytime these soy boys lose control instead of owning it and admitting they fukked up (like I have a million damn times in my life) like a fukkin man, they look to blame someone or something and want our supposedly free country’s government to step in and protect them from all the “evils” of the world by taking away what should be simple freedoms of choice we all should have!

          The fukkin ignorant ass powers that be love it anytime these morons give them a chance to infringe upon our freedom!

          I got news for these Mfers. If they didn’t gamble before because it was “illegal” then they shouldn’t be fukkin doing it now cause they not cut out for this shit. Anyone who has never had some greaseball Fukk local has no business doing this now just cause those dfs sites throwing it in their faces.

          Why they think they being targeted? Hey dumb ass, you really think they spending all this money advertising to you because they think you gonna win?? They know you not gonna fukkin win!
          Gotta love Bankers passion !!! He’s always the real deal, I’ll tell ya how I feel type. (Respect)

            Wasn't his fault, he was duped in by the visions of sugarplums dancing in his head your honor..
            Jfc I hadn’t even thought of that, not a laughing matter cause you spot fukkin on, if not him it be some other asswipe.

              I’m degenerate as fuk worse as they come, was hooked on heroin when I was 19 years old, have my whole family as alcoholics and gambling addicts mom and dads side of family. I stopped using hard drugs couldn’t handle it. I gamble still obviously, that being said I have 2 children a wife and a home and work everyday and as crazy as I can get gambling I NEVER extend myself to a point where my family suffers from it. Ever. This guy is a loser I have no fukin sympathy for him.

Some drugs need to stay out of society just because they are too addictive. I think heroin is one of them. Opioids getting there too.

                Still ya gotta teach your kids from the crib - DON'T EVER PUT A NEEDLE in your body to get high. The minute you do that son or daughter you are done in this family. I was taught that and never did.

                I smoked shiit though over the years. I never got into pills much either. Today I'm sober from smoking shiit or any kind of pills but probably drink a little too much..

                Just gotta be smart and not reckless in life.. Control your demons in the closet.
                I’ve shot up every drug a few times in my life, not in a long long long time and was never some freak jabbing myself daily but when I was around the right ppl and wanted to experience something, well as they say when in Rome.

                I’ve prob had more friends die from the shit than anyone here and I still say I’m not sure I like them trying to say if I wanna do some fukkkn H it shouldn’t be my choice to do so! I have plenty of proof what “they” say about any drugs isn’t factually accurate for everyone.

                  Boom!!!! I was so cocky with my ability to handle any drugs I caught myself slipping with H, that a tough one to reel yourself in from or be able to dabble and control but like everything I figured it out! Lol.

                    This is why i question the legitimacy of this article. Most addicts who take drinking ,drugs, gambling to the next level have a similar backstory to what you just described. I don't buy this NJ dad at 41 all of a sudden turned into a degenerate because they legalized gambling in NJ. Either he has a deeper history than the article tells us, or he just got carried away and will be completely fine, like he was for 41 years of his life.

                                no. I once had one in my face where I was like 50/50 on whether I was gonna die, might of been in few other instances where there was a bunch of guns out and a shootout looked possible but luckily cooler heads prevailed.

                                I was never much a gun fan. I’ve seen how fast feds get involved w stolen guns and how fast Mfers start snitching. Gun + drugs equals way worse a sentence so rarely ever had one on me unless like super necessary.

                                        Damn.

                                        Glad cooler heads prevailed and you're still with us bro.

                                        I had an ex fiancee put a big knife to my throat but she wasn't gonna do anything. That's the closest I've come to any of that, thank God.

                                          I got set up by a ex girlfriend and was locked in a room and robbed with a pistol to my head the guy was really high on meth and I honestly felt he was capable of killing me and really doing it. I don’t know how many days he was up but I talked to him and eventually we came to a understanding I would leave and he would just take the dope I had brought I thought I was selling.....yah sucked

                                            Glad cooler heads prevailed and you're still with us bro.

                                            I had an ex fiancee put a big knife to my throat but she wasn't gonna do anything. That's the closest I've come to any of that, thank God.
                                            The one in my face was only dicey time where I thought I might really die. dude was serious loose cannon biker fuk. I mean I was pretty tight with his family so was kinda confident he wasn’t gonna shoot me. At same time he was all kinds of fukked up, I was his little brothers boy which for some reason always had him testing me. Lol. And I met his brother right after he got out of prison for shooting some Mfer bunch of times, lol. So yea 50/50 felt bout right at the time, maybe 55/45 to the good. Lol,

I don’t know how many days he was up but I talked to him and eventually we came to a understanding I would leave and he would just take the dope I had brought I thought I was selling.....yah sucked
                                              Damn. Last time I got in trouble and put on paper it was cause I was working nights and right after I left for work some Mfers went to door and when my old lady opened it out a gun on her and jacked us. They took her phone so she had to go to managers office to call me. I got home Before manager bitch got the cops there, they didn’t get everything, like they missed little less than a pound of weed, some Zannys and other shit so I hurried up and got all that shit in my truck before police showed up and some punk Fukk neighbor doesn’t id any the rooster suckers that robbed us but are happy to mention to police they saw me taking shit to my truck. So yea I got robbed and also caught another felony possession and a controlled substance for a vial of test.

                                                  No shit. Wish I knew who it was, hadn’t lived there real long. These jerkoff cops were just sure I got robbed cause I was a “drug dealer” or whatever. Not maybe cause we had just moved in and some pos scoped me moving in bunch of fly shit; my nice ass truck, and it left for fukkin work every night. Like I woulda had cops there had I known who the Fukk it was! Well I guess technically I had no intention of calling them. It wasn’t anyone i knew tho,, Lol.

                                                  Omg it was so funny at the station. I still had like 3 bars and couple perks in my pocket they didn’t feel so soon as they un cuffed me I grabbed them and fukkin ate them right in front their faces. They were pissed!! Lol.. then this one f\*g brings me to a room and sits down and says “so you wanna help yourself, where you get the drugs?” I laughed so hard, I been questioned a bunch of times but this was the worst. I was like Mfer check my resume and take me to a mfin cell before you really piss me off! Lol
