Have you ever smelled harm reduction?

This shattered me yesterday. I imagine what it must be like to be his parents. Or brother. A loved one to someone. This isn’t normal. I’m not going to be the problem in the history books. I’m shattered by this photo. How does it make you feel? Someone is still lying and it’s not me. This is awful. #fentanylmassacre

I wonder how many people he killed?

This is drugs. This is a cycle that has continued for the decade plus I’ve documented this. She’s new here. She will die here. They come to steal and buy the cheapest Fetty. Drug dealers don’t go to jail here. There are no consequences. None. It’s useless. Addicts need to be sent to recovery or to be sent home to their families. They live on sidewalks, sell their food cards, and rot. Hundreds of non profits get paid to help them. I’ve never really seen any. She will drain the system and die on the sidewalk. It’s tragic that, still, no-one really tells the truth here. And those with loud voices claiming I’m a “Nazi” don’t have boots on the ground, and are sick in the brains. Disagreeing with this shit is the truth, it’s the right side of history. Photos of people in public spaces is not illegal. Did you ask the photographer if he engaged with the subject? I paid mine. I woke them and said are you ok? I always asked. Can I take a photo and give you a few bucks. They always obliged and would sometimes nod back out. I found 2 dead bodies one outside my home in 2019. Will you walk by a body splayed on the ground today? Will you ask if they are Alive? I do. It’s called concern and compassion. Intention to save lives shut down what’s wrong and killing people? I’ve no more patience or tolerance for rhetoric, and gaslighting. Do better. 📸 @dbofsf
