One dead, 20 hospitalized from apparent overdoses at Maryland concert

[PriestTheyCalledHim]

I found this article while checking my email. I wonder what they overdosed on? Alcohol? It's pretty easy to do; but most people puke or black out; or have to go to the ER to get their stomach pumped; but yes some people do die from it.

Tyler Fox Viscardi, 20, of Raleigh, North Carolina, died after being taken to the hospital at 9 p.m. local time Friday after he attended an all-day Mad Decent Block Party festival in Columbia, about 20 miles (32 km) southwest of Baltimore, the Howard County Police Department said in a statement.

Authorities said Viscardi died of an apparent drug overdose, and investigators are working to determine what type of drugs were in his system.

A 17-year-old Virginia man, who attended the same event, was in critical condition suffering from what appears to be a drug overdose, according to the department.

Another 19 concert-goers were taken to the hospital during the event, also suffering from what authorities believe are drug overdoses.

The Mad Decent Block Party travels throughout the United States. Investigators said similar circumstances have unfolded at other Mad Decent Block Party events.

"We were shocked and saddened. ... Our hearts go out to everyone impacted," organizers said in a statement on the event's website.

Police said they issued 50 under-age drinking citations and made three arrests, including one for possession with intent to distribute marijuana, during the event.

Just what is it gonna take for prohibitionists around the country to be "shocked and saddened" into realizing and/or admitting that America's drug laws must change swiftly and radically in order to properly address this problem? Will it happen when the severed heads of police officers start appearing in urban areas as has been the case in many parts of Mexico? Because that's the grim reality of the War on Drugs south of the border. Must it appear in American cities too before something is done on a federal level?
