I get what you're saying, but fuck me. I was also good friends with a guy named Cruz many years ago. He was a killer and a drug dealer. Sure, he was more than extra cool with me, but he was a piece of shit and I made/make no excuses for him. There is a line to be drawn, and you sir, need to pick up a damn marker. And some point, your 'acceptance' is irresponsible and selfish. (Im not saying you still deal with him and Im not attacking you, just another way to look at it.) I generally would agree with most of what you said, but certain situations dictate a different reaction. This is too far; too much. Of course, that's a matter of opinion, as well.
