This behaviour can be rooted in addiction, but how much allowance should we make for that?
An alcoholic gets in a car drunk, drives, and hits a cyclist. Do we make allowances for addiction and treat this as a health care issue, or do we prosecute them with the full force of the justice system?
A fentanyl addict gets on a C-Train car, screams threats at passengers, and then pisses in the aisle. Do we make allowances for addiction and treat this as a health care issue, or do we prosecute them with the full force of the justice system?
