Indianapolis leads nation in pharmacy robberies
http://www.theindychannel.com/news/local-news/indianapolis-leads-nation-in-pharmacy-robberies
From the article:
For three consecutive years, Indiana has led the nation in pharmacy robberies. In 2012, the state had 97 drug store robberies — more than twice the number of the next two leading states. Even worse, the city of Indianapolis led the nation in robberies.
It seems that people will resort to any means necessary to feed their addictions.
“People go to great lengths to get their drugs, lying, cheating, not only lying and cheating to the pharmacies, doctors, nurse practitioners, LPNs, family members, us. Yeah we get lied to. Anything to get that fix,” Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Sgt. Dean Fischer said.
I better AG Greg Zoeller is so proud of his BITTER PILL Program… http://www.in.gov/bitterpill/
Looks like AG Zoeller is just another bureaucrats that has the delusional belief that prohibition will prevent/discourage people from abusing some substance. But “we” have been fighting this war on drugs since the Harrison Narcotic Act 1914… I am sure that if we keep tweaking this war.. over the next 100 yrs.. we will show the same results… spending more and more money… and making no progress… Maybe sooner or later.. they will stop using 20th century technology .. going after 21st century crooks.. BUT.. I am not going to put any of my money on that bet 🙁

Zoeller and Bondi and the rest of them need to go back and take a refesher US history course covering the Prohibition area with alcohol and what an abysmal failure that was. And ironically alcohol causes way more health issues and death than prescription drugs or street drugs. They also seem to forget no matter what people can abuse ANYTHING besides substances….gambling, exercise, food, Maybe the real underlying issue is mental health…these people are self medicating. Not everyone who take prescription pain, anti anxiety or stimulents is going to become an addict…..quit lumping us all together. Another point….AG Zoeller needs to admit the Meth and Heroin is coming into Indiana courtesy of the Mexican drug cartels. We are part of a HUGE pipeline of moving these drugs thru the US.
Anyone notice the banner photo on the BITTER PILL website has a couple of syringes, butane lighters, a spoon, and other paraphernalia of a heroin shooting gallery?
Hoosier RPhs with CC permits need to push legislation to permit carry in workplace with certifed training. If bad guys think they might be carrying crime will drop.
