Dear Street Carnage,

So i just wanted to tell you that a few weeks ago i was reading your article on heroin and the part that stuck in my mind was that if you see someone really fucked up, you should walk them around the block and you’ve seen that save lives.

Last night i was still high on Adderall i had railed the night before and as a result hadn’t eaten in two days before drinking way too much vodka and rum, then smoking way too much weed close to all at once. I was sitting outside on a bench when i couldn’t feel anything anymore and my hearing filled with ringing and i suddenly felt like my head was completely submerged. I could feel my brain shutting down and i felt like i was about to die, when i remembered what you wrote, and I knew I could trust it. Now i know i was certainly on nothing like heroin, but I definitely had alcohol poisoning and making myself stand up and walk around got my friend’s attention and passing out in her arms before my friends smacked me awake and fed me bread was definitely safer than passing out on the bench, because i don’t know how long it would have been till they realized what was wrong.

Maybe you didn’t save my life, but i am so grateful to you. I’ve been reading your stuff for years and i always thought it was great, but just you taking the time to write that essay might have kept me alive.

Thanks,

ilse cruces

A jury in Texas found Jose Luis Gonzales, 63, not guilty of murdering a 13 year-old when he and and his friends broke in to steal some snacks and soda last summer. Though many believe that shooting the boy in the back of the head, at close range, with a 16-gauge shotgun seemed over-zealous, most people in the Texas jury had to agree that twinkees, cookies and pepsi are really tasty and must be protected at all costs.
