Rochester, NY

Used heroin needles picked up by volunteers behind an abandoned house in Rochester. The clean-ups were started by a man whose son died of a heroin overdose.

Shameful that there hasn't been a concerted effort to stop the raging heroin/opiate epidemic.

it just blows my mind that it seems impossible to hunt down the people distributing/selling this stuff and put them out of business. everybody is up in arms about restricting access to guns, but so little is said about the 50,000 deaths per year from heroin.... almost twice as many as from gun violence. That's the whole Vietnam War's death toll per year! More than 10 times the deaths from the Iraq/Afghanistan wars...

What a waste and tragedy. Heroin is such a killer. Glad that they're picking up the needles, but there's always more. "V"

The reality of our times but also a very sad commentary. A powerful statement Julie. V
