Why do I get fined for an open beer, but shooting up on the street is ignored?

It's ironic. If I walk down the street with an open beer, I get a ticket. But one block over, people are openly injecting drugs, and it's ignored as a "health issue." Are we normalizing addiction? What message does this send to our kids? It’s not just a double standard; it’s a societal decline. #DrugCrisis #Fentanyl #LawEnforcement #PublicHealth #DoubleStandard

There are thousands of places where you can legally consume beer. Try drinking at home, at a restaurant, or any bar. If your need to drink is so great that getting fined for drinking in public is a serious concern you probably have more in common with the person injecting drugs than you’d like to admit.

Can’t you put a brown paper bag around your drink? I thought that was ok to do since you’re not advertising it.
