Uh I'm not sure how you can call giving addicts access to medical treatment and support that they never would have otherwise received "giving up on them". Not to mention protecting them from criminal charges. I mean seriously, I'd rather 'give up' on addicts than constantly be pissing in their face, which is what the 'proponents' of the drug war have chosen.

Plus, how you can watch the wire and say something as ignorant as "people like Johnny aren't interested in getting out". He was a heroin addict. You act like he just didn't have the guts.

The treatment and support only happened once the Deacon got involved. Colvin makes it clear what his intentions are when Bodie asks why he's doing this, and he answers: "I want to salvage what's still worth salvagin' in my district", which doesn't include the dealers or the addicts.

Didn't Omar get that info from reading the details wall charts?

I think he just got Orlando's as a location to find Avon from the charts.
