Well I guess call my stupid because I thought what this kid Ryan was doing was admirable,to try to get some some attention from our city to get the known drug dealers off our streets!Yes my son was one of the 10 there and yes he said it was disappointing that all the people who said they were going to be there wasnt.He has never been involved in any kind of "Rally" like today but I was proud as a parent to know that he is against this horrible drug and the people supplying to our loved ones.. I guess in these kids eyes they didnt think about Granite City being betrayed as The Herion capital of the Quad city area they just wanted to get some attention from our city goverment to put these people away.I will stand up for these kids trying to make a difference!! No matter what anyone else thinks of my character!
WHAT????????? If these people weren't taking the drug there would be no problem. This isn't a government issue. It's an issue about people who are so lame, so stupid or so oblivious to life itself that they take a needle and shove it in their vein. I've lived here most of my life and have never been exposed to heroin. It's a choice.
The best thing you can do for your son and loved ones is tell them to stay off drugs and if they don't, tell them of the consequences.
