Strange item in the news today. Police are calling this a “medical situation”. I am sure more information is forthcoming.
An isolated drug overdose is believed to have killed three people and hospitalized four others in Pittsburgh, sparking concern over an unrelated “tainted, potentially deadly batch of drugs in the community,” authorities said.
Police responded to what they called a “medical situation” early Sunday and found the seven victims – all wearing orange wristbands – in the South Side Works area of the city, the Pittsburgh Public Safety Department said.
The victims appeared to have been at the same venue together before going to an apartment where they all took narcotics, police said. It wasn’t immediately clear what specific drug was ingested.
Five victims were found in an apartment, police said. One was found in an elevator outside the apartment and another was discovered on a street corner at 26th and Carson.
Four of the surviving victims ranged from serious to critical condition when they were rushed to Mercy Hospital, police said. Three of the victims have since been upgraded to stable condition while one remains critical, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.

It’s a “medical situation” because the thought police have decided that the decision to do drugs is a “medical disorder” as opposed to someone’s dumbxxx choice to start doing drugs.
No one asked me if I wanted to be a diabetic. I didn’t get a choice. But people who did have a choice get to now be called victims.

Cause of death recorded as: “S**T POOR DECISION MAKING”. I think my position on drug takers getting what they’ve warned would be their fate is pretty clear. The wristbands make me wonder if it was an illegal rave, used to have a lot of ODs at them. In the end though it’s irrelevant, it’s the party drugs, many of which are…less than pharmaceutical grade.

Correct Czar, it was a party after the party, a Rainbow party, drugs and sex. The gathering was at this apartment, 1500-3000 p/month rent or buy. Most of the residents work across the river…tech jobs….I’m surprised the Yinzer mayor of ‘Burgh wasn’t one of the attendees…..

Used to be in the old days was the worst you could get from an after-party was a hangover. Times change.
