Drug addicts lose consciousness on the street as laughing crowd gathers around to film them in video
Shocking footage has emerged of bystanders laughing at a married couple as they fall unconscious after overdosing on heroin.The concerning video of the pair, taken in broad daylight in Memphis, Tennessee, was posted on Facebook Live by Courtland Garner on Monday and quickly went viral. It shows the husband and wife writhing on the floor after snorting the drug in the bathroom of a nearby Walgreens - while the crowd stands back and does nothing. Paramedics eventually arrived on the scene and revived Carla Hiers, 59, and her partner, who are both long-time drug addicts.
Hiers was taken into custody as there was an outstanding warrant for her arrest. She was booked into Shelby County Jail on a $200 bond. Online records show she has been behind bars a number of times facing charges including theft, drug possession and fraud. Mr Garner posted on Facebook: 'They out here f***ed up.' He told the local WREG news: 'What they were doing was children's things. It was a spectacle. It made me laugh. They can't help themselves.'
Hiers was taken into custody as there was a warrant for her arrest. She was booked into Shelby County Jail on a $200 bond (mugshot left). Another mugshot (right) shows her after a different arrest in June
Although he is laughing on the film, he said there was a serious point and he believed it would help to discourage some youngsters from using drugs.
'I know for a fact all the kids are on social media, and when kids see that video, you know what they are going to say? I don't want to look stupid like that I don't want to do those drugs,' he said.
But Krista Sheridan commented on the video: 'I dont care what color, religion, economic status you are you deserve to be treated with common decency.....smh I doesnt matter if drugs cause this or not no deserves to be laughed at and treated like that.'
Karen Morgan, from the drug charity Turning Point Recovery Memphis, said the city and its suburbs were seeing rises in heroin overdoses.
She said: 'People tend to think they've done it to themselves. Well no they haven't. Their brains have been changed by the use of the chemicals.'
There was a warrant out for Hiers' arrest so she was taken into custody but it is not clear what happened to her partner after he regained consciousness.
Looks like Krista Sheridan and Karen Morgan have their heads up their ass... I very much doubt someone forced the couple in the video to abuse opiates.
ReplyDeleteWord from the wise don't use opiates legally or legally and if it is really necessary only use as directed by a qualified Dr. that hopefully possesses integrity.
No güey, nobody forces you, at first, it is only friends doing what friends do, initiating their pendejos, for some money, after that they are on their own and find their own trouble...
DeleteIt is no coincidence that colombia is said to be on the axis of evil that traffick Heroin now, with all the US military bases around, ready to bomb ecuador and bolivia and any other mini country that has elected communist politicians "to power" after helping afghanistan jack up their production of opium for 15 years to the point that it is replacing cocaine
but luckily for us, not Meth!...
This lady will be looking for customers, half price 2×1 on the alley, what's her address?

ReplyDeleteThats good send more of that shit
DeleteYup.. I've taken my son's down there to see this zombie apocalypse and hopefully deter them
Delete5:08 some times parents are so full of shit...
DeleteI saw a wino for the first time when I was like 4 or 5 years old, all I have ever wanted to be when I grow up is a WINO...
--I guess I was lucky I did not see a drug addict...
Their apparent misery is no deterrent, the mystery of their love for sech a lowly passion IS a powerful magnet, enjoy.
Yeah, I know about this part of Los Angeles. Went too far on 7th on my bike ride. The sad part that it isn't only Los Angeles with these zombies....
DeleteAnd there you have it for all you lovers of drugs. Keep getting high so that the world can mock you with good reason. - El Sol Perdido
ReplyDeleteAnd the gamblers, alkys, pornofiends, adrenaline addicts etc. Etc...
Delete6:43 facepalm... dude, your comments are so cringe worthy.
DeleteMartha Cecilia Cárdenas Montemayor, sobrina del diputado federal tamaulipeco Gustavo Cárdenas, fue arrestada en el sur de Texas por agentes del Departamento de Sheriff de Condado de Cameron, por posesión de cocaína y más de 100 mil dólares en efectivo.
ReplyDeleteSon algo del capo Osiel Cardenas? El mero jefe del CxDxG
DeleteI dont know who was worse! The dopeheads or the jackasses filming it! I say answer B!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. To stand around, film and not call for help is the definition of selflessness. To live stream it on Facebook while laughing is horrific.So freaking sad.
DeleteHahaha they were both funny
DeleteKitty Genovese, knifed and raped while 38 witnesses did nothing, documentary "a crime to remember"...
Delete--Well after the rapist-murderer was found, it was found that what some did to help, was no fucking good
well guys, please dont use drugs, youre part of the problem you must to believe me, dollar very very atractive for mexican cartels, your money make them rich. (for drug buyer)
ReplyDeleteIt makes a few cartel members rich.. Most cartel members are well off, but not rich... Just like any company be it legal or illegal...
Delete7:19 more than the mexican cartels, some rogue agents in the US government have brought to the US the blessings of democracy they imposed on china for more than 300 years, you are lucky it took no bombing camlaigns, yet...
DeleteIf Americans stopped doing drugs today, Tomorrow, Mexico would be a peaceful place!
DeleteThis is sick. People are awful...
ReplyDeleteIs that why they call it smack?
ReplyDeleteBring back the DARE program to schools
ReplyDelete6:53 I suspect the DARE programs were used to introduce more customers to drug addiction than were kept away, together with "Just Say NO"...
Delete--Given the results, it looks like a coordinated effort-gamble.
The american people lost, they did not know what they were being lied to, I mean led to. From rat line nazi escapees BAYER agents to israeli drug trafficking narco terroristas taking their banner to mexican rat line political refugee presidents living on the US, the top always find shelter...
the poor furnish the carcasses and the prisoners and the addicts
Those people and anyone else high in a public area are subject to ridicule. I laughed my ass off. They should of let them die. Waste of time, waste of resources and a waste of life. Let the consumer die and the demand will fall also. Easy economics.
ReplyDelete12:00 I believe you would do that to your own children, even euthanize them before they get in trouble.
Delete--Many influential retrograde americans have changed their opinions because they have been through it for a while and sobered...their children were specially targeted because of their family money, and their friends went crying to the funerals.
The Devil comes in many forms
