BANGOR, Maine — The Hermon man who in February fired shots that mortally wounded a Bangor man and injured his friend during a reported home invasion was arrested Thursday for drug trafficking and possession of synthetic bath salts.
“He was arrested on a sealed [Penobscot County grand jury] indictment,” Deputy Chief Troy Morton of the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office said Friday. “It was a sealed warrant.”
Daniel Williams, 25, was arrested on several sealed warrants, the most serious being felony aggravated drug trafficking, which could send him to prison for up to 30 years, the deputy chief said.
The drug trafficking charge is “the result of an investigation which was started Feb. 16, 2012,” Morton said. “This investigation is ongoing.”
Feb. 16 is the day Williams used a .22-caliber handgun to fatally shoot Robert Dellairo, 30, of Bangor and wound Philip McIntyre, 19, also of Bangor in the leg during a reported home invasion, he told the Bangor Daily News shortly afterward.
Williams’ bail conditions bar him from having contact with McIntyre and others who were at the scene or in the getaway car.
“Williams posted bail on May 31 in the amount of $5,000 cash and is scheduled to appear at the Penobscot Judicial Center on July 19 for his arraignment,” Morton said.
The sealed warrant for Williams’ arrest also charges him with unlawful possession of scheduled drugs, unlawful possession of hallucinogenic drugs and criminal forfeiture of property.
Williams told the Bangor Daily News that he was asleep at his residence at the Duran Apartments on Outer Hammond Street when Dellairo and McIntyre broke into his residence.
“They attacked me in my home, and I had to protect myself,” Williams said just days after the incident.
Williams said he used a .22-caliber handgun to shoot Dellairo in the pelvis, McIntyre in the leg and shot twice into the rear end of a blue Honda Accord that a woman used to drive the injured to St. Joseph Hospital.
Dellairo was immediately transferred from St. Joseph Hospital to Eastern Maine Medical Center, where he later died. McIntyre was arrested for burglary after he was released from St. Joseph and was booked into the Penobscot County Jail. Since then, he has been arrested at least two other times.
The two women involved, one of whom reportedly knocked on Williams’ door, and Luis Ramos, who was with Williams at the residence, have not been charged.
Williams and Ramos initially told police they did not know the people who broke into their residence, Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Mike Burgess said shortly after the shooting.
Dellairo’s father, who is also named Robert Dellairo, said recently that “they all knew each other.” The elder Dellairo told the Bangor Daily News in May, “My son was no angel,” but said he didn’t deserve to die over a drug deal gone bad.
The younger Dellairo, who is survived by a young child, and the group he ran with knew Williams and he was into the drug “monkey dust,” the street name for synthetic bath salts, his father said.
“When you get a lot of drug dealers together they all lie through their teeth,” said the elder Dellairo, who lives out of state but returned to Maine to deal with his son’s death.
$5,000 bail, cash. You can’t tell me drug dealers don’t have that kind of money. We just got started with how pathetic the law is with domestic violence, this is right up there, drug dealer who makes a lot of money, fork up 5k and yes we considered the fact you shot 2 people, one was fatal….you can leave now and we will see you in a few weeks, well that is the assumption anyways
they may have wanted him out so they could put him under surveillance and build a case…better to catch him with a lot than a little.
It was a written check from one person…
Where did the money for bail come from?????
drug $ in most cases, from friends who have it hidden or something of the sort—
No, you’re all wrong.
That’s a trick question, right?
Bail money was from NUMEROUS hard working adult friends that all came together in a time of need for a friend. As working adults we all have money in the bank and safety nets, don’t you?? Wouldn’t you help a friend in need???
Not a friend doing illegal drugs…nope, dont think i would.
What if they were doing legal drugs? Would that make it alright?
Legal Drugs? I assume you are talking about someone taking prescribed pain pills and driving erratically or something like that? If he is doing something illegal but taking legal drugs, well then i am not sure, guess it would depend how serious the charge was…to be totally honest.
I mean if you had a friend who was on legal drugs be it booze, salvia, prescribed medicine, whatever, any legal drug or chemical and that friend got arrested for doing something illegal, would you bail them out? I assume your answer would most likely be yes, provided that, as you said, the charge wasnt serious. Now, assuming your answer would be yes, I would then be inclined to politely tell you that simply because something is illegal doesnt make it wrong. Cant legislate morality, or, maybe you can? They seem to have done rather well convincing people otherwise.
Just because Dan Williams was CHARGED with having drugs, does NOT make him guilty!!!!!!! Don’t read everything the newspaper writes!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe you can read everything in the newspaper…. just don’t believe everything you read is a better way to put it.
good catch, thank you!
No surprise here with the drug connection…..an apartment complex with known drug users and dealers.
Oh well that’s a surprise. Not. What about the charges against everybody else that invaded the home. Granted you can’t charge somebody who is dead but there were a couple others wasn’t there?
The guy shot in the leg was charged when he got out of the hospital, and the 2 girls weren’t charged.
I wonder why the two girls weren’t charged, hmm maybe because they sold out their so called friends so they wouldn’t have any charges of their own.
One knocked on the door and the other one was the get away driver. Both accomplices in my book, but who nows? State witnesses? The law works in mysterious ways and we’re never told the whole story anyway.
Did the girls pull the trigger??? Did Daniel murder the guy if so life for him hopefully. If you kill someone then go to prison for life. Cut and dry.
I’m not sure if you’re yelling at me or making a statement about him……..
From what I gather, one girl knocked on the door and got them up; the other one drove the get-away car. He shot them both thieves as they were fleeing.
The girls helped the thieves and he basically shot the thieves “in the backs” as they fled. Any more questions that the stories haven’t provided? ‘Cause that’s all I know….
He shot them in the backs. That sounds like a coward to me. If they where leaving what was the reason for killing one outside. HMMMM. So are saying he should get away with murder. Did they hurt the dealer in any way when they where in his house.
“In the backs” is a figure of speech. They were supposedly fleeing when he shot from behind.
I don’t understand how you can ask if I believe he should get away with ‘murder’. Exactly the opposite.
There some versions of the story that include the thieves bonking the dealer on the head with a guitar or something, but when he produced the gun, they ran and got shot in the process.
HMMMM. Did I answer your reply clearly enough this time?
Most drug dealers carry guns correct???
Not knowing any dealers personally, I can only assume you’re correct.
Thats what TV shows drug dealers always have guns then the cops..
No where does it state that ANYONE was shot in the back. It was LEG and PELVIS wounds.
OOOOPS. I retract all previous statements sticking up for this “man”…throw him in the hole.
Gee officer I really don’t know why these strangers broke in an assaulted me, honest! YEAH RIGHT!
He didn’t know the armed robbers, so how would he know what they were there for?
Duh, He was indited for dealing drugs wasn’t he?
Duh, it’s
indicted
Exactly right, ‘know your rights.’
You don’t even recognize sarcasm do you?
Is there anyone who actually believed this wasn’t drug related in the first place?
Dan is a friend of mine, and i happen to know that he didn’t know any of the assailants. Jessica Vachon was an acquaintance from High School. She however wasn’t part of the actual breaking in. So if Dan didn’t know any of the people that broke into his house it wasn’t a drug deal gone bad. There was foot prints and indentations on the door from where it was obviously a forced entry. Dan was stabbed and hit over the head with an electric guitar that the assailants had taken from his roommate Luis. If you judgemental people would have read the entire news reports then you can put together the whole true story. Why was the one person that Dan knew staying in the car while the other 3 party members went to his apartment. Obviously the one person that knew Dan brought them there to rob him, otherwise she would have gone to the door with them. The Bath Salts charge is laughable as well, i know that there was not anything of the sort in the house.
I think your friend Dan deserves the benefit of the doubt. It’s innocent until proven guilty in my book. Good for you to stand up for your friend also. He’s lucky to have you.
Maybe they didn’t know each other formally but Dellairo didn’t pick this place out of thin air. He picked it because he knew there would be drugs and or money.
So why was he charged then?
He was charged because the police are bored and have nothing better to do than harassing innocent people.
I think that’s a rude comment for law enforcement, that put their lives on the line every day to deal with people like this…………
Perhaps I should have started with “Obviously, he was charged because….”.
“People like this…..” awfully big pass of judgement there, chief. Law Enforcement Officers are more at risk of dying from Heart Attacks due to massive intake of donuts then they are on the mean streets of Bangor.
MrBad the charges came as the result of a Grand Jury indictment.
You mean a bored grand jury because they are the one who brought forth the charge.
Should you be posting her name??? BDN remove me for 2weeks for using someones name.
You people make me sick. “Maybe he could have an accident, so taxpayers don’t have to pay to house him for 20 years?” Dan is literally the nicest person I have ever met, and he is an amazing friend to everyone he knows. He doesn’t do bath salts, Mr. Dellairo is clearly trying to make him look bad by saying that. Dan didn’t mean to kill his son, and I know he felt terrible about. But it was either him, or Robert. Tell me you wouldn’t do the same in that situation. You all should just keep your comments to yourself if you’re going to behave like children. Dan is an amazing guy, and doesn’t deserve this. And I’m sure you’re all thinking I’m probably just some druggie friend of his, whose opinion doesn’t matter, and you’d be wrong. And even if I was, at least I’m acting civil on this comment board, unlike you supposed upstanding citizens..ha. And for the record, his bail money was not paid for with drug money. Many of his friends all through in money to get him out, some $30, some $100. it was a combined effort of people who love Dan. So you can all stop with your stereotyping and your accusations, you could not be more wrong. And I’m happy to be the one to tell you so.
Isn’t this article about Dan being arrested for trafficking and possession of drugs? Did I miss something? All his friends are saying he does’t take/sell drugs? What evidence did they have?

Great guy wow he murdered someone. He would make a wonderful role model for your kids.WOW and he is amazing guy and he does deserve all the prison time he gets forsure.
If he murdered someone as you say, why didn’t the grand jury indict him on that charge.?
one thing that is FACT:NO ONE is gonna tell the truth and only the people there know what happened and everyone is gonna adapt their story to suit themselves. it’s all a shame
another fact is he killed someone and he has to live with that. regardless of being in danger or not,it does affect a person that has killed someone.if he is this nice guy people claim him to be,that must be eating at him
The fact that he killed someone has been eating at him since the day he did it. He’s a good kid.
nice shirt, Daniel…
Drugs.
I am a friend of Dans and i would like to say that he is one of the greatest people I know. Saying that the shooting was a drug deal gone wrong is far beyond the truth. Dan would go above and beyond for any of his friends and now his friends have done the same for him. Insinuating that Dan was bailed out of jail with money from drug sales might seem like the only way he would have gotten the money but the hard truth is that Dan is a good guy, he works hard and so do his friends, not selling drugs but at real jobs to support their families. When Dan needed help he had plenty of people who were willing to throw their hard earned money in to help him because a guy as great as Dan doesn’t deserve to be rotting away in jail.
People who feel the need to say things like “Maybe he could have an accident, so taxpayers don’t have to pay to house him for 20 years?” just remember that its innocent until proven guilty. if it was your son or your friend who ended up in a crazy situation like this i doubt you would wish him dead.
someone broke into my house I would shoot them too. I hope what your saying that drugs were not involved but it is hard to believe they wasnt a part of this. But when you go breaking into someones home you pay the consequences its sad but true.
It’s nice that this wonderful guy has so many friends willing to stick up for him. I dont even blame him for shooting the two guys that broke INTO his home. He has his 2cd ammendment rights just like anyone else does, but when he went RAMBO and shot at a blue car trying to take the injured to the hopsital, he lost all credibility and this turned into something where it seems like someone was trying to make sure nobody got out alive and no witnesses..Shoot at a moving car into a neighborhood? Are you serious? Is that the mark of a really NICE guy?
Williams said he used a .22-caliber handgun to shoot Dellairo in the pelvis, McIntyre in the leg and shot twice into the rear end of a blue Honda Accord that a woman used to drive the injured to St. Joseph Hospital.
Now as for the drug arrests, well you would have to take that up with the MDEA, cause its pretty obvious they have been watching this guy. Why in the world if he is such a great guy and would never do bath salts and all of you fine upstanding citizens spent your hard earned money from working real good honest jobs to give him 5,000 for bail, would he ever find himself back in jail on something like this?? Cmon, sometimes we think we know someone and we dont. Maybe Dan had a secret life that you folks didnt know anything about. I would bet my right arm though that many of you knew about it and preferred to look the other way. My son is a great kid when he is sober, wonderful person that would do anything for anyone when he is not under the influence, but when he is, watch out, cause he turns into something that i dont even recognize. Maybe the same has happened here..In any case, expecting people not to give their opinion on this post board is probably a foolish thought…just sayin.
If someone tried to stab you, and rob you after forcing entry into your home, then tried to get away, you wouldn’t use the one weapon you had to subdue them?? Or at least mark the vehicle to help later identify it?????????????? What is wrong with YOU sir? Dan saved his own life, and is being ATTACKED now because of it. THAT and that reason alone is why is friends all bailed him out. EDUCATE YOURSELF
I am quite educated already, and No, i dont believe if i had just been stabbed, which he wasnt, or if someone tried to rob me, which you have to wonder what they were after? could it have been the drugs? Likely so. The law says that you are allowed to protect YOUR home, not shoot up the neighborhood. What if you had a child playing out there when all this was going on and Dan accidently sent a stray bullet and it hit a kid? Would he still be innocent? I dont think so. You folks need to look at both sides of the story. I dont think this man is the friend you think he is. He has obviously found himself in some pretty bad spots in which he has made some poor choices. I pray that he will learn from them. At least he has the opportunity to still do that.
Um…he wasn’t arrested or indicted for shooting anyone. He was arrested and indicted for being a drug dealer and having bath salts. He’s not being attacked for the shooting…he’s being attacked for selling people bath salts and whatever other drugs they found.
Heres a tip: Everytime the cops find a white power, unless its clearly Coke, its Salt. You could have a bag of baking powder in your pocket (yeah, thatd be weird) and if they searched you illegally (which they do constantly) they’d arrest you on the spot because they’d assume you had salt. I know the type an the go around. Its pure hysteria, out there. The salt problem got so blown out of proportion it created mass panic and now its the scapegoat for all sorts of things. And, Ms. Wench, you are incorrect. He is being attacked for the shooting because of the alleged drug involvement. It was fine that he protected himself when he was just a normal guy, but now that he apparently isnt quite the “model” citizen its go time for the bigotry. Funny… I know people who go to church who are worse people then Mr. Williams. Ive read lots of stories about various church officials interacting in appalling ways with children, but they often are subjected to less hate then these supposed “drug dealers”. Way to be, chaps. Drugs receive so much undue hatred from closed minded people who have no idea about how the way things really are but instead listening closely during DARE, ratted out their buddies for puffing a bit of spliff and went on to get a decent job and have a family and a puppy and barely enough money to pay the bills, repeat ad nauseam. INDOCTRINATION, its not just your friend, its your master. Cheers to mediocrity and dullards. Its in the news, its true. Now, move along to your NASCAR or your Baseball and your Bud Light. Kindly go to sleep holding your aging wife. Now, wake up to the shrill sound of the alarmclock you hate, go to your dead-end job, which you also hate. Once thats over, drive home the vehicle you wish you didnt have to own but have no choice because its all you can afford. Then, kick off your boots, have your wife make dinner while you turn the news back on. Exciting life. I suppose if such things make you qualified to pass absolute judgement on another human, then, go for it.
Drugs receive undue hatred? Really? Tell that to my children who suffered due to their father’s drug use. Tell that to the parents of a dear friend of mine who died from an overdose. Tell that to the poor 65 year old homeless man in Miami still in critical condition at a hospital because an average pot head took bath salts and decided it would be cool to strip naked and eat almost 90% of his face. Those people who claim that drugs are a victimless crime clearly have not been one of the many people victimized and harmed by people on drugs. There are tests to determine if a “white powder” is Bath Salts or not. In order to get an indictment the investigation would have to prove what the substance was. Maybe you just don’t know your friend as well as you think you do. Times are tough and the economy isn’t doing so well. Indictments aren’t just given without evidence to support them. If your friend shot the guys while they were running away then that would be wrong. If he shot them when they were in the act of harming him or coming towards him then he was justified. I am not familiar enough with the facts to really say more than that about the shooting. My comments are regarding the drug trafficking and possession of Bath Salts. If there were no grounds for the indictments they would not have been handed down. Perhaps that is something you need to think about. On another note…I’m one who believes that even people who do or have done terrible things do have at least some good in them. People who have good qualities and who are good friends do have the ability to bad things sometimes. My advice to you would be to keep that in mind.
DID YOU NOT SEE THAT I MYSELF WAS THERE UPON BAIL OUT, AND THAT HE WAS NOT CHARGED OR FOUND WITH BATH SALTS. THIS IS A MISTAKE ON THE NEWS REPORTERS END AND WILL BE BROUGHT TO LIGHT EVENTUALLY.
I don’t read posts in all caps.
Oh, trust me, I have a victim of drugs, before. Bath Salts, even. I watched as someone very close to me turned into a completely different person. But that doesnt mean drugs are the most evil thing in the world. Perhaps your childrens father was to blame, and not the drugs? Perhaps the people who OD’d did it to themselves? Perhaps that dude in Miami is a nut job? Perhaps I should blame my ex fiance who smashed my heart into a million pieces and ran off with some white gangsta? Nahhhhhhhh. Ill just blame the drugs. Its easier when people dont have to be accountable for their actions….. Its pretty easy to point the finger, isnt it? You are correct, even good people make bad choices, thus my stance on the matter.
People who do drugs hurt people BECAUSE they are doing drugs. It changes their behavior, judgement and often makes them violent and takes away money that SHOULD be spent to feed their kids and support their family.
The dude in Miami, by all accounts, was not a nut job. He was your run of the mill pot head according to everyone who knew him.
You are absolutely right. Doing drugs is a poor choice, whether it be from a good person or a bad person…pretty black and white there honestly.
So…I am under the assumption that you think everyone should just quit their day job, get involved in selling some high quality drugs that ruin lives daily with overdoses, addiction, and even death, and that will give us all an EXCITING life…well guess what brotha, i have been happily married for 23 years and enjoy having a few cocktails with friends, but i have no need or desire to snort something or send it coarsing through my veins introvenously. I also couldnt begin to sell someone else that very thing for them to do it either. There is no Glory to drugs, only despair. The party and the excitement you claims usually ends the minute you can no longer afford the drug, couldnt afford to pay your dealer, or are arrested just as this gentleman has been. It always ends badly. Now if i go to my grave having enjoyed 40 plus years with my wife. Gave to the people that i could and treated everyone the same way i wanted to be treated, well it may be considered boring to you, but i am very happy with that. As for your analogy of the police, whom i am not very high on myself, arrest everyone with a white powder in their pockets, well i cant for the life of me remember the last time i put some flour, baking powder, any other white powdery substance. Maybe some Dr. Scholls in my sneakers, but that would be about it. If all of you were so convinced that he is innocent, then why isnt he walking free and clear? Why have the State Police and MDEA gotten involved? They dont ususally make a habit of setting up operations only to arrest innocent fun loving guys that just so happened to shoot at some attempted burglars, oh yeah, and kill one of them. Honestly me has to wonder, who are you folks trying to convince? US? The cops? Or maybe yourselves?
You raised some good points Jeff. I have been so uncomfortable with the part of the story where Williams shot at the rear end of the car carrying the injured passengers. From what I understand, it was going in the opposite direction of his house. How in the heck can a reasonable person conclude that their life is still in danger? Even if they had the infamous electric guitar, how in the heck are the folks in the car going to use that as a weapon to harm someone that can easily be in the house? That isn’t going to happen anywhere except on the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner show.
Dan is a fine marksman and when he took the shots down the road at the fleeing car he put two bullets within six inches of each other in the bumper. There was a solid backdrop, which would have stopped any bullets from hitting any innocent children. They also happened to be driving in the opposite direction of both hospitals… When he fired the shots he also waited for the only other person on the road to pass him before he shot at the car over 100 feet away. Bangor Daily News is going to have to bite the bullet on this one. He was charged with Synthetic Hallucinogens, AKA LSD not bath salts. It didn’t say he was charged with dealing amphetamines or cathinone class drugs. Wait until the court date much of this will be left behind.
He only shot at the car so it would be marked for police to be able to identify it. He’s a smart guy.
Why not just read its license plate?
Obviously there was enough evidence to get warrants and arrests him…….so there is some validity to this story! They don’t just make up warrants….there based off investigations, evidence of a crime and probable cause. I believe that he was a victim of a home invasion, especially if there is proof of forced entry! But, they broke into his home for a reason….the same reason he was arrested on sealed warrants for……
They don’t indite people on speculation, heresay, or rumors. Give our law enforcement a little more credit. It sounds like there was an actual home invasion but the other side to the story is drug trafficking. Try to separate to the two situations – perhaps the shooting itself was justified but that doesn’t make the purported victims (Williams and his roommate) innocent of all wrongdoing. To all law abiding citizens (like myself )- the lesson to learn from this is be very careful what type of people you associate with or let into your home. Choose your friends wisely and be aware that some people are actually casing your house to commit a crime when you let them in. This whole shooting in Hermon – I really don’t have sympathy for anyone involved. They made choices – bad choices. It’s a teachable moment.
So much for your castle doctrine poster boy. With drug abuse and untreated mental illness running rampant our liberal gun laws will cost us many lives. Easy access to Handguns plus declining social norms equals rapidly rising murder rates. Sleepy Maine will get an education in violence as this plays out. The violent crime rate will explode this decade. Your children will not be safe and yet nobody will talk about solutions. The masses have been brainwashed.
He was charged with “felony aggravated drug trafficking, unlawful possession of scheduled drugs, unlawful possession of hallucinogenic drugs and criminal forfeiture of property”.
I don’t see any charges related to the shooting.
Thousands more will be victims if people like you are allowed to disarm those of us who have families to protect. Feel good liberalism doesn’t save lives. How close have you been to law enforcement or real world hostile crisis’s – or are you meerly regurgitating liberal logic about facing hostile criminals with a disarmed citizenry that must wait up to 30 minutes for the police to respond.
Very messed up that even after numerous calls to the newspaper they have yet to correct their misprint. Many comments on this not posted. When will the truth be heard?!
What misprint?
Dan Williams was NOT found to be charged with Bath Salts. Drugs yes, bath salts NO
Right. I assumed that was it. Wanted to be sure thats what you were going on about.
As a person who knows Mr. Williams, I would also like to say that he is a good man. Anyone can say what they like about him shooting that kid (was clearly in his right to do so) and the recent allegations but until you know this man and what he is like, I for one am of the opinion that rigid and uninformed opinions in regards to someones character is the height of ignorance. I love the holier then thou’s which constantly flood these forums. People who think that “locking (bad) people up and throwing away the key” is the answer. Tell me, what would happen to all the bodies in prison? How many one use doors we need to build to keep you satisfied? At that point, why even bother with the key? It all seems like wasted resources. Why don’t we just execute anyone who does anything someone else finds appalling? Please… contain your infinite wisdom and save your brilliance for your middle class 9- 5.
I find it disturbing that in one sentence you say, ” …i dont believe if i had just been stabbed, which he wasnt…” Then in another speculate wildly and irrationally to say this, ”
What if you had a child playing out there when all this was going on and Dan accidently sent a stray bullet and it hit a kid?” WHAT IF???? Truth is I KNOW DAN, I saw a wound on his stomach a day or two later from where someone attempted to STAB him. That was not here say and DID happen! Dan, like many adults has hosted get togethers at his place. Also, like many adults, Dan has a nice TV and is a DJ so had expensive equipment. You and many others like to speculate why people where there to rob him, well THERE ya go, there is another viable reason. You say you don’t think we know who this man is, no sir YOU dont know who he is. You don’t know that the charges listed here are incorrect. Nor do you know that Dan Williams didn’t live alone. Nor do you know that there is info yet to be brought to light. So many of you on here are gonna eat your words. I can’t wait!
She said :
“Don’t read everything the newspaper writes!!!!!!!!!!! ”
Just classic ! ;=} Right up there with Yogi or was it Casey?
cute, you know what was meant. way to stay on topic.
That’s real cute in a neighborhood!!!
I think these people who come online and say they know these murdering dope-addicts should wake up.
These people are all throwing their lives away. Life is too short.
When someone gets hooked on this pharmaceutical dope, on methamphetamine, or whatever else is out in the streets these days, they are quite literally -begging to die-.
Society cannot deal with this sort of mistake. And for the betterment of our society as a whole, dope-addicts should be subject to exile on a frozen island someplace far away, or more mercifully, given the death penalty.
Libertarians say, “legalize all drugs”.
Yeah, sure. And the day one of these Libertarians gives your kids sister enough dope to lay her out flat on her back, THEN WHAT?
There are always going to be people who are stupid enough to do dope. The only real solution is to limit the dope and get rid of those who do, -permanently-. Talking about rehabilitation is an invitation for other kids to make the same mistake.
A big part of the problem is that the federal government has licensed pharmaceutical companies to manufacture synthetic heroin. Those companies should be put out of business.
Maine can unilaterally declare these drugs illegal, just like Canada just did with Oxycontin and Oxycodone a month ago.
Governor LePage is not the leader he claims he is. He has not made one move in the right direction in an effort to deal with these pharmaceutical companies that manufacture dope that is addicting and killing Maine kids.
Yep, kill all the people who do drugs, or throw them on an island. Hope you don’t like music, or art, or anything else have to do with creativity. Drugs are such a huge part of society and always have been, that will never change. Drugs are responsible for good things as well as bad. Note that the monumentally important Frued was addicted to Cocaine for much of his life, but, they dont teach you that in school, do they? They dont talk about such things on the news. They dont tell you that Ol’ Washington himself advocating the use of hemp (not a drug, but all Cannabis is treated the same under current law) or that Jefferson had his own personal Opium Poppy Garden, or that the only reason Columbus found America is because he was searching for an ocean route around the world to Asia to get Opium for the Spanish Royalty. But you know, you are right. Drugs are a plague. We should remove all the drug users. Good logic. Apply that to the previously mentioned people, see where it leads you. Anti-Drug views, while noble, are often, sadly… so uninformed and drawn because of inaccurate information… I think America’s leaders could take a good hard look at some of the more sensible drug policy in place by governments elsewhere in the world. Places where crime is down, drug use is down and they have lighter, more logical policy. Mr. Robertson, you cannot legislate morality, America’s drug problem proves this and if you are inclined to disagree I don’t think you are paying enough attention. We have some of the harshest penalties for drugs in the world, obviously it isnt helping. I guess we’ll just throw everyone on an island, that seems like the easiest and most effective way to deal with something that some people find morally questionable.
“Mr. Robertson, you cannot legislate morality, […]”
Lots of laughs, DevilDude.
All legislation has a moral tenor to it. If it did not have a moral tenor, feigned or otherwise, we would vote the bums out who pass such immoral laws.

I’ve known Dan since middle school. Sad to see this headline. Even sadder how the drugs have made him look like he–.
dan is easily one of the most modest considerate people ive ever met. if anyone is to say anything negative about him it would only show that youve never met the genuine person he is. he was never into “bath salts” or anything like that. dan is a wonderful person and i only pray everything works out in his favor. i love you buddy
