Have a feeling the fact that they were filling either stolen or fake scripts has a lot to do with the time they got.. does anyone know if these guys have prior drug charges? Seems like a harsh sentence.. but Gotti grandson got an 8 piece right?

Here in NY/NJ/Philly they’re really hammering everyone selling Heroin and Opiod Pills due to the epidemic here.

They have even started investigating when junkies OD like it’s a murder scene here then charging the dealer with the junkies Death. I dont know how I feel about this one as noone forced the junkie to take that Heroin shot or pill. It’s like the fat slobs who blame McDonalds for their obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Have some fucking self control and take control of your own actions!

8 for the oxy ring, 5 for the arson charge involving Asaro and robbery. half of the 5 would run concurrently with the eight on the State. Also has to pay restitution of $20,000 for the burned car, and participate in an outpatient

I fully agree with you man... I’m not saying guys on the corner selling bundles are the most unstanding citizens in the world.. but just like with bookmaking and shyloxkibg ... these dealers aren’t searching out people. The issues are beating down their doors.. and it makes me mad that users and their families can never own up and take responsibility.. yes it must be horrible to lose a child to an od.. but instead of pointing the finger and blaming it all on the dealer I think they need to take a step back and see that the blame starts and ends with the addict that decides to do these drugs in the first place... take some ownership and responsibility... same thing with people who take out loans with shys and then runs to the feds like they’re some random victim . It’s like nah you seeked that person out to borrow the money and now that your degenerate ass can’t pay you’re going to play the poor me victim card and act like you got bullied into it...

100% disagree. My uncle is one of the strongest people ive ever met and even he fell victim to heroin addiction. It almost took his life and somehow he got off. Drug addiction is an evil illness.

Feel more sympathetic to people who got hooked due to injuries/pain and then getting hooked on the pills.

Dealers should all be given mandatory minimums of 15 years for a 1st offense since trafficking narcotics is the single most evil and disgusting thing one can do. You knowingly deal death and murder. You destroy the lives of mothers ,daughters,sons,brothers,fathers etc etc..You cause the crime rate to go up in every category, Robbery,Burglary,Murder,Homicide,,Assaults,Prostitution,Theft,Petty larceny,Grand larceny etc etc.. Drug dealers/Traffickers should be sentenced to death

That's what you are predominantly seeing now. People who developed "medical addictions" but have been cut off by strict prescription monitoring in places like NY/NJ/CT are now going on the street to get their opiates.
Sad that the drug companies went and got doctors to prescribe strong opiates that were not intended for normal pain relief but only intractable cancer pain. Created a lot of junkies and made billions of dollars in the process. Even with pressure from states to put obstacles to prescribe, FDA and feds keep approving new opiate based pain meds. In the end, money trumps all.
