Don't Do Drugs!


Amherst police made two drug arrests over the weekend, both 20-year-old females who were running a drug store out of their vehicle while UMass police made three drug arrests, all of them male.  

The UMPD arrests were associated with the Mullins Center EDM concert late Friday night that swamped our medical system and these two APD arrests at a North Amherst apartment complex only a couple hours after the music event ended, was probably also connected.

Scary when you see beautiful young woman ruin their lives over drugs

It is.

Even worse they die from an OD.

Imagine if the odds of Overdosing were as large of the odds of going to prison or jail as a young adult.

The odds of going to jail or prison is over 5% if you are young adult.

The odds of overdosing on a drug, legal or not, is 0.0015%, this is similar to your odds of getting killed in a car, double the odds of being killed in a car due to a drunk driver.

So that we are clear, going to jail or prison as a 20 something is 32,000x more likely than Overdosing. The big problem of imprisonment is not a solution to the little problem of Overdosing (unless you factor in endless propaganda).

So that we are very clear, going to jail or prison as a 20 something is 64,000x more likely than getting killed due to a drunk driver. That is sixty four thousand times.

The biggest issue in the US is that of imprisonment of people that don't need to be locked up, like most of the folks likely reported in this blog post.

The big problem is that locking folks up is not a solution to all the statistically petty problems we have. Those who loose lives to drunks are just as much people as those that loose lives to jail in prison, the big difference is that there is barely anyone loosing their lives to drunks in comparison.

The drug problem we have is that of the drug power.

The odds of getting hit by lightning are pretty damn low, but I still would not run around the Cherry Hill Golf course during a thunderstorm waiving a golf club over my head.

Go down the list of what the UMPD found -- not things one ought to mix with each other nor with ETOH.

With both being done. NOW do you understand what I mean by the ETOH not being a problem in and of itself? Drugs are a bigger problem at UMass and have been for some time!!!!

It was an APD arrest outside Brandywine Apartments. UMPD arrests were all around the Mullins Center, which is located on UMass property.

So what did Ms Leinhart do?

One f the is a Hooters waitress (per her Facebook page) Amber Noyes.

Larry - I'm sure you meant to write "public" defender and not "pubic" defender. For all I know, the young ladies might
need pubic defenders, but that is not within the purview of the court.

Thank you sir! Fixed.

I've been doing that a lot lately (but at least evenly split between male and female articles).

Why is everyone calling them "ladies"?

Why not treat them the same way that young men are treated when they violate the law?
Why not the "her parents must be very proud of her" stuff -- Noyes is a 2013 grad of Hamp High studying "business management" and we wonder what business that might be....

Larry Kelley said...

And why did the damn blogger publish their pictures but not the three gentlemen (if I dare call them that) arrested by UMPD for drug violations.

Why didn't he?

Larry Kelley said...

Because I don't usually cover UMPD arrests. I had actually planned to (since that was a high number of drug arrests) but then the attorney for the Amherst DUI arrest came over and challenged me over taking his photograph.

During the brief exchange one of the three UMPD drug arrests was arraigned so I missed the shot. At that point I did not want to go with 2-out-of-3 because somebody would make an issue of it as unfair treatment.

Leinhart is hot. Hotter minus the drugs.

Larry,
Any thoughts on the Chief in B'town?

Larry Kelley said...

Too many for Comments section, not enough for a stand alone post.

Not my beat.

But if Granby or Belchertown had a Larry Kelley this probably would have come out when it should have, 7 months ago.

Leunhart is left-handed as well.

Just sayin.......
