<< D. Strawberry is a disgusting piece of human garbage.
When someone assumes a role in the public, where small children and young adults idolize that person, they have an OBLIGATION to stay clean, and somewhat on the straight and narrow. How much of MY tax dollars (I live 2-3 miles from him) have gone to useless counseling, City time, ploiceperson time. >>
Jeez louise, people sure do get their knickers in a twist sometimes! Without getting into the whole social-contract part of what you are saying (with which I take issue), I have a hard time seeing why another person's self-destructive, foolish behavior could make someone so irate. Daryll Strawberry is pathetic and a loser by anyone's definition, but it seems pointlessly judgmental to call him "a disgusting piece of human garbage". He is NOT O.J. Simpson, and there is no indication he has hurt anyone other than himself.
I suspect any of your tax dollars that have gone toward treating Daryll Strawberry have been more than compensated by the amounts he has paid in fines.
