Indeed.
And I suspect it is no coincidence that how the woman came to be at the drug dealer's remains obscure. My guess is that any legal case would rest on that precise point.
Certainly, the drug dealer knew he was selling Bergen an addictive substance. But equally, she was just as aware of its addictive nature...
I'm hardly trying to justify the drug dealer's position, or anything like that. IMO, those people are scum.
However, I also believe that there is such a thing as taking some individual responsibility. If the dealer did not stalk and coerce Bergen..if she was there, at his grandmother's, voluntarily, surely Bergen bears at least as much culpability in this situation.
But, admittedly, I'm coming at this from the remote outside, and I've never had any substance abuse problems....
