DON'T USE THE MENTALLY ILL FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES

Re: Policing a 'perfect storm,' Nov. 23

How nice. CityTV decides to "entertain" us by showing the poor and the
mentally ill desperately trying to survive in the dangerous
environment of the Downtown Eastside and you decide to promote this
sick freak show.

I'll bet my pension CityTV will never mention that most of the harm
done by illegal drugs is because the damn stuff is prohibited.
