And then there were these comments on the web that made this author wonder, see what you think?

‘This kind of thing is hitting the middle class so now it gets attention. A professional with a good job finds herself hooked on pills and that addiction leads to breaking into houses to get her fix. No different than a poor addict.’

‘Except the pro with a good job has medical benefits and should have $ to get the medical and/or psych treatment she needs.’

‘$500 Bond ??? WOW…Let my black axx go and break into someone in Troy home and that $500 will turn into $5k or higher real fast.’
