Ernie | Forum

I just thought of this guy Ernie I used to buy heroin from and I’ve deduced that he’s probably the worst human being I have ever known. Let me tell you about this guy:

When I knew him he was about 55 years old and he had a wife that was a few years younger then him. He had a son that was 13. Ernie did concrete for like 20 years and blew out his hips doing that kind of work and he had two artificial hips. Both him and his wife were hardcore drug addicts for years when I knew them.. Ernie lived on disability for years before he had his kid but didn’t get housing from the state until they had their kid. This guy straight up told me that they had their kid just so that they can get housing and other benefits from the state. They used their apartment as a drug den and it was a rallying point for local drug dealers where they would go to lay low or connect, etc.. And their son was there for it all and they could care less.

Ernie was extremely abusive towards his wife and son. He yelled at them all the time. Like, if his son needed something Ernie would be like “What the fuck do you want?” Just like that. This poor kid was stuck with them in this tiny two bedroom apartment that is aiken to housing projects and they wouldn’t let his kid hang out with friends or anything. I didn’t see Ernie do this personally, but I wouldn’t doubt that he would send his kid out to meet junkies in front of their apartment because Ernie could barely walk and his wife was indolent.

Ernie and his wife also used the Mormon church as a means of collecting welfare and would go to church one Sunday a month just because they had to. They certainly didn’t have one iota of a Mormon belief. I went through him for about two months and he always pinched my balloons to keep some for himself. He owed money all over town and his wife told me one day that the Mexicans threatened to kill him and his family because he ripped someone off.

I stopped going through him after two months because I was flat out sickened by him and what he was doing to that poor kid. I flat out got dope sick because I refused to go through him because I started thinking about that poor kid.

Oh, check this out. So Ernie’s kid was in middle school and his school gave the kids Amazon Kindle Fires for school work. Well Ernie flat out pawned his sons Kindle for dope and that poor kid had to go to school without it. I saw his son Walking back to the apartment from school one day and this poor kid had no backpack, a hoodie on and a pair of basketball shorts…. IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER!!!! THAT POOR KID!

I consciously couldn’t have anything to do with Ernie after about two months. He was always scamming me and overcharging me and pinching my balloons and I couldn’t take it anymore. Especially when I would think about that poor kid.
