Shasta County Breslauer Way Needle Exchange

I must admit, at almost two decades of homeless advocacy, I am absolutely stunned as a past outside on-site Securitas security guard at the vicious circle of poverty pimps in my opinion that make up the Shasta County public health branch needle exchange and welfare office.

Addicts with festering sores, Stapf infections and angry red injection sites come from all over the neighborhood as well as homeless from surrounding bush camps to exchange dirty Meth, Fentanyl and Heroin syringes a stone's throw from Sheriff Michael Johnsons Breslauer way offices! You share the same parking lot!

I sat outside as a guard and witnessed many homeless from the area come to use what I consider to be a program that makes Shasta County officials guilty of aiding and abetting drug addiction and the dealers that provide it.

You see after my shift at the needle exchange around 4 pm I would I cross the canal at Shasta County Breslauer welfare office where I witnessed several of the same people nervous, angry and jittery now incoherent, chewing on a cracker dribbling out of their mouth, or finding them in the bathroom passed out, blood on the floor.

All of them carrying the little white bags just given to them at the needle exchange a few hours ago to inject their poison, demanding they receive their benefits.

Unfortunately, back to the bushes they go, the homeless addicted, to repeat this circle of hell once again.

And those in that neighborhood must suffer the loss of any items of value that are stolen to also feed this horrific cycle fed by Shasta County workers and supervisors.

Will Shasta County California expand this program with more county workers, (In my opinion poverty pimps) to include more taxpayers money for a safe injection site?

If not, will they let others do so? Maybe local nonprofits?

Maybe the Good News Rescue Mission?

Will there be lava lamps? bean bag chairs?

How about provide beds like a modern-day Chinese opium den?

A Shasta County sanctioned heroin shooting gallery?

Satan laughs, the dope dealers rejoice....

All of this diabolical hell on earth right under the noses of Shasta County Supervisor chair Les Baugh...?

A local Christian pastor?

"Safe injection site "

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits.

Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them."
