 New York police wasted no time in making several arrests in connection to the death of actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman. The Academy Award winner died of a suspected heroin overdose on February 2nd. On Tuesday (February 4), cops raided an apartment in Manhattan. They found 350 bags of heroin stamped with the labels "black list" and "red bull." Not the same brand Hoffman allegedly overdosed on. The 50 bags found in the actor's apartment after his death were labeled "ace of spades" and "ace of hearts." Four people were taken into custody and charged with various drug related offences, according to CNN According to CNN's report, Vineberg had Hoffman's phone number stored in his cell phone. More arrests could be made soon as cops try to zero in on the source of Hoffman's drugs. |

I love how we've ignored heroine while the treatment costs and death totals have been mounting for like a decade, and then suddenly the media is reporting the epidemic because somebody famous died. America the beautiful.

I'm just amused at the lineup here. We have what looks like a polite Indian woman with a Russian name, Seth Rogen's cousin and a low-level Jewish gangster, and THE MYSTERIOUS MISTER X. This is New York. What happened to just buying heroin from that skeevy guy in the apartment down the hall?

There was no "backlash." Nobody cared. The media tried to make it a big deal because some random blogger or other nutjob said something somewhere... but the VAST majority of the public, well in excess of 99%, never cared, and never would have known if the media hadn't tried so hard to make it a thing.

There was backlash on the Youtube video for that commercial. Apparently there were so many racist comments that they had to disable them altogether. |
