No mitigation for me. Mom was dealing to make ends meet.
The ends justify the means? Selling crack is ok because she's just trying to make ends meet?
So sometimes double standards are OK?
Is she selling crack to upscale addicts who come from privilege, so it's ok? Or is she selling to 'poverty stricken' users who have no real chance at living a productive, fruitful life, so that's ok?
Addicts choose to be addicts, so they aren't really victims, and at worst, a dealer is merely an enabler, just trying to make ends meet?
Maybe you don't have a son or daughter addicted to crack or any drug for that matter, or don't know some has a child (of any age) who is. I don't, but I've seen plenty who are.
It sometimes can be too easy to dismiss them as 'druggies' or some other convenient, dismissive word, but they are or were somebody's son, daughter, mother, father, sister, or brother.
Dealing is dealing, and I don't abide.
