By all means let's keep paying people to arrest this guy so we can house this guy, feed this guy, get this guy a lawyer, pay for his prosecution, pay the judges,etc. Addressing addiction would mean weakness.

meh
my guess is that it is the doing it in public part which is getting him arrested ...
go home, huff, not get arrested, repeat until dead

in the end, we should only arrest people in public ...
you are home and shouting duster straight into your eyes? no problem
but we should also just let them die

/yes, we should take 90% of the DEA/drug enforcement dollars and put it into treatment and education

snuff3r: Cane here for goldface, leaving satisfied.

haven't heard anything about Patrick Tribble ( I think that is right ) in a while, so I'm hoping he's still on the wagon.

in case you don't know.. the last I heard about the guy, he had sobered up, was in a halfway home, and found out that he was an internet meme and apparently that shamed him enough to try to stay out of the spotlight, at least for stupid shiat.

he made the news again shortly afterwards for trying to sue folks for using his image to make T-shirts, but it was determined that he didn't have a case because Mug shots are a matter of public record.

I'm thinking that he might be able to copyright his likeness, but the mugshot thing could still be an issue for him.

but, as far as I know.. after a year or so, he's still clean.

now, if only we could hunt down the true Identity of Looty. the New Orleans Heineken aficionado.

It's probably nerve damage at this point. Or some kind of stroke.

Whoever said "treating his addiction" was an alternative: Hate to break it to you, but the only person who can do that is the addict. Unless or until this idiot wants to stop huffing paint (assuming he has any working synapses left by that time), locking him up is the only other alternative. You can't "treat" addiction like it was a broken arm or something.

ausfahrk		2012-12-01 09:00:43 PM

How come huffing paint equals a trip to jail instead of to the loony bin? Think about it: If a reasonable, non-insane person decided, for whatever reason, to huff some paint, they would not get caught. They would do that shiat in the woods, or in the comfort of their own condo, etc., because...well, because of having seen Mr. Timbits get paraded all over the internet, for one thing. Someone who gets caught doing this is obviously on par with the guy who jerks himself off at the bus stop. Not a rational criminal -- simply a nut job. Nut jobs should go to the nut farm, not get 20 lashes and go free.

Sneakytoes		2012-12-01 09:01:13 PM

That 3M dust remover is nasty, nasty stuff. They add a bittering agent to it to prevent huffing, though IIRC it's not that dangerous. My husband sprayed some on the TV last spring, and I could taste it the rest of the evening though I'd been across the room and left soon after. One of our budgies dropped dead 36 hours later. The other one is still barely hanging on.

It's a refrigerant, and if he sprayed it he was using the can incorrectly (upside-down.) If you have birds, you have to avoid aerosols and non-stick cookware, plus anything else that might kill your little canary-in-a-coalmine.

That whole bitterant thing was stupid. As if people messed up enough to do that are going to be turned off by a bitter taste. I used to have a lot of use for "air dusters" at my last job and I clearly remember the first time I got one of those cans. Stank up my office and got on my hands and transferred to my face. It took a good amount of scrubbing to get it off my skin. Once I realized what it was and that I couldn't get untainted air any more, I started wearing food-prep gloves while using the stuff and I'd wipe down equipment and my work bench when I was done. Only recently have I been able to find odorless, residue-free canned air.

Just another case of legitimate consumers being inconvenienced by misguided attempts to curb abuse.

Sending them to the nut farm instead of jail would give them a greater than 0% chance of being helped.

again, addiction, even severe addiction, is a totally separate process from "organic" mental illness such as schizophrenia. Psychotropic medications can't do anything for them. And involuntary commitment for addictions would get tossed out immediately in mental health court.

With the exception of Methadone/Suboxone for opiates and symptomatic tx for withdrawals, there's not a medication that exists that's going to make someone not addicted... and it sure as hell isn't going to help someone who wants to keep using. What would you want to give to medicate someone like our friend in TFA?
