Dr.Love Made a human error and now will pay the price.The people who have been associated with him,know he is a very good doctor as well as a great friend.Hang in there doc…
We have an opioid crisis and we shouldn’t be letting dealers off so light. Guarantee the heroin users that were the subject of the article about Ares and his Manic Monday (btw, good work there to our 4 legged friend and his officer/handler!) will have the full force of the law thrown at them. Since this guy has money, he’s now officially only a user and not a pusher?!?!? This is not justice or beneficial to society or the community in any way.
