merry christmas :-)

What a bunch of IDIOTS!!!!

Idiots!

Way to go Morgan county that's what I call a Merry Christmas thanks for protecting us all in morgan county!

I am sure the families of those arrested aren't having a very "merry Christmas".. Just something you might want to think about before you make such comments. God forbid that be one of your brothers or sisters or children.

I feel for the families of these people but if they were my relatives, I had rather them be in jail for Christmas rather than what could have been. At least the families know where they are and know they are safe from that darn meth. 50/50 chance with them still at that house that there would not have been a joyous time at Christmas for these families. As many times as we hear of deaths from this mess, this could happen to these people and with those with outstanding warrants seem to never learn. So yes, better for them to be in jail at Christmas time than the morgue.

I will have to agree that jail beats the morgue any day.. I just wanted to make the point that these families didn't ask for the addiction and neither did the people who were using for that matter. I guess all I am trying to say is that a little compassion couldn't hurt the people who are obviously troubled to the point of using. Compassion, I would imagine, goes much further than celebrating this traumatic time in some of these people's lives.. Although we all know some never learn & will only repeat the same destructive behavior. I hope everyone has a blessed Christmas, especially those now spending it with out their loved one. And I do speak every bit of this from experience.

These people need to look in thr mirror and see what this junk is doing to them on the outside and realize what it must be doing on the inside. Their families know that something is up. Have a Merry cold ham sandwich Christmas in jail!!!

Good job Miss Ana , hope you have a merry christmas and thank you for cleaning up these druggies for us

Don't want to spend Christmas in jail.....then don't do the crime!

& then there is those that have to hit rock bottom with no family on christmas to realize the path they themselves chose isnt helping them nor anyone around them, & killing them slowly. usually they choose the drug over their families anyway. & knowing Ana is on this hot & heavy yet the druggies are care free about it. that should prove in its self their brain cells are dea

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that none of you have ever battled addiction or have had a loved one who has battled addiction..

Don't try it the first time, then there is no addiction. Its not like its a surprise what that stuff does to you.

How do you not ask for an addiction? I guess you think it's not their fault!! Someone put a gun to their head and made them put that pipe in their mouth or put that needle in their arm!!! People need to stop making excuses for people who want to screw up their lives and the people around them. Don't be an enabler...
