You are kidding, right, John Doe?

Cathy February 3, 2013 at 10:25 pm

As i hate to see any drug dealer in my home town, lets hope this 21 year old gets help if hes addicted. He is young enough to clean up his life & make something of himself

ed February 4, 2013 at 04:40 pm

Doesn't look like he needs help...looks more like a DEALER of drugs to our youth! Lets hope he gets a few years in prison not help!

Sky Soldier 82 February 4, 2013 at 05:28 pm

Assuming he is living at home with his parents, and he has never been is serious trouble before, he is just some troubled kid. Did he test positive for drugs when arrested, does he have his own drug dependency issues to deal with? Look at his pail / greenish pallor in the photo he looks like a junkie.
Branding him a drug dealer and sending him to state prison will not make him better or give him a chance to contribute to society. Maybe what he needs is a drug rehab program. Article doesn't say how he acquired 133 Suboxone tablets, which are typically used in methadone clinics to treat heroine addicts. I think there are more details needed.

ed February 4, 2013 at 08:52 pm

We're not branding him a drug dealer. The article says he IS A DRUG DEALER!

I know you'd like to think that this kid has a hope of turning his life around but unfortunately you are wrong. I've known this kid since 7th grade and hes been dealing drugs since then. Some people simply do not learn and continue to make the same mistakes, even if he gets time he will be back to selling opiates the first chance he gets

Sky Soldier 82 February 6, 2013 at 01:03 am

Tell what his home life is like. Loving caring parents? Was he a good student, etc., etc.

Sky Soldier 82: Right on. These people need help. Most are weak.I feel sorry for them.We all know drugies and alcoholics who have thrown their lives away.Throwing them in prison solves nothing and rarely helps them kick their addictions.

getem February 6, 2013 at 10:27 pm

what a bunch of people who have nothing else to worry about but some drug addicts stupid actions and mistakes and comment on.

knee jerk February 7, 2013 at 12:25 am

Hey getem: Now I have you to worry about also, and your disjointed comments. If you haven't noticed, this is a "comment" page. People read the article, then comment on it, for better or worse.It kind of gets "the pulse" of the people. So thanks to you, I do have something else to worry about, kind of making your comments worthless.

getem February 7, 2013 at 01:14 am

He's my friend and I've proved my point .

jean g February 7, 2013 at 01:40 am

A kid that age deserved a chance to get help. It will be up to him if he chooses to to make the changes he needs to make., its a long hard road. I hope he has support

Michael Taustine February 7, 2013 at 04:06 am

Most of these young local miscreants are not even from economically disadvantaged circumstances. These families are clearly hellholes of dysfunction. No excuse at all for the perps, but these junkies and alcoholics could have had the world on a string. Since they are by and large white, and have means, the spiral will continue unabated. They become remorseless sociopaths. We can't complain about the "inner cities" when our own neighborhoods spawn this anti-social behavior.

Sky Soldier 82 February 7, 2013 at 01:02 pm

"No excuse" you say, what about young and stupid, emotional defect, just plain immature. I hope not one of your kids, grandkids or nieces and nephews ever does something just plain stupid and winds up in front of a judge as tolerant as you are. NY still has some strict drug laws and this kid will probably do real hard time in jail, where his nickname will be kid. How is that going to make our neighborhood better? Four years from now he will be back home and angry at the world after some hard time. He will have been releassd from the animal factory that is our penal system with a graduate degree in criminalty. Is that what you think he deserves? Is that what we want commimng back to our little town?
I don't advocate the perps actions, I just don't see a fair ending for him or the community by completely running this kids future.

Kristen Ferrari February 7, 2013 at 01:15 pm

Sky Soldier,
Most people scream for harsh punishment until its someone they love. Then they want people to understand. Its a shame because while there is the kids do stupid things aspect, I suspect this case may go a bit deeper. Still, I don't think that we are addressing the issues that are really going on in our community regarding drugs, even where many of these kids get them, which often is medicine cabinets in their own homes. I think we all know people who every kind of pill imaginable. Is it any wonder when their kids get addicted or get involved in poor decision making?

Michael Taustine February 7, 2013 at 02:13 pm

I'm with you Sky. This isn't a neighborhood issue, it's societal. The fact of the matter is that the solutions require a total paradigm shift in laws, corrections, and economics. I'm idealist enough to wish for this and believe in the possibility of it, but old and cynical enough to feel like it's well beyond our grasp.
Elsewhere on this board you'll find bitter arguments on whether the government has any place in disaster recovery. Or whether to support people dislodged by economic upheaval. The prospects of progressive and nuanced social policy is well nigh impossible in the age of Tea Party ascension. They'd have us left to fend for ourselves and then bleat and bray about the social destruction left in the wake. In the wise words of Anonymous, let's not hold our breath.

Sky Soldier 82 February 8, 2013 at 01:04 am

I am compelled to tell you, I do not know Andres Caceres, the accused. I have never met him, nor I am a ink own relative, nor do I know his family.
What I know is prison will ruin him. No one has asked how he got his hand on controlled pharmaceuticals in that quantity. He didn't make them in his basement. The Suboxone was a four month supply.

Sky Soldier 82 February 8, 2013 at 01:06 am

As to the disaster relief comments, I did not see those other posts. If the GOVERNMENT can help in an emergency then why have one? The very definition anarchy.

Franken Harpo February 8, 2013 at 03:47 pm

Round up the usual suspects!
