Narcotics Cop Linda Wagner Cries Over IceBreakers Candy
Hershey’s makes a candy called IceBreakers. Its a mint. Somebody decided to package it as a powder form inside a dissolvable cellulose packet. The cops in Philadelphia, rather than clean the streets of real drugs and real drug users, went on a rampage against Hershey over the mint pouches. In fact, the stupid pouches made Linda Wagner cry. Linda is a pathetic cop who could not even deduce that her own daughter, Krystle Baehr, was whoring herself out for heroin.
From the USA Today here, with thanks to Poppy.
Linda Wagner, a Philadelphia narcotics officer whose teenage daughter died of a heroin overdose, held back tears when she saw the pouches.
Because even though the packets are clearly labeled as IceBreakers candy, she was scared it would make kids want to swallow cocaine packets. Packets that I guess, cops like Wagner should get off the streets and away from kids. So instead of going after the real cocaine, she wants to solve the problem by going after candy.
I seethe when the news tries to club us with “absolute moral authority” statements from people like Wagner. Reminds me of the perpetually crying Cindy Sheehan. Just because she lost her daughter, we are not supposed to question her demands upon a corporation?
Hey, if the stupid cop thinks IceBreakers are bad, wait till she gets a load of the new Cascade Dishwasher Dissolvable Packets. Its just like the IceBreakers but bigger! Does this mean she will cry more tears? Will children start putting large bags of cocaine in the dishwasher?
The packets are clearly labeled as candy. And there are loads of candies and mints that look like freaking drugs.
Tic-tacs have no markings. An Altoids mint is the ugliest, most poorly manufactured mint there is. It has no label and clearly looks like it was made in a basement by a Crackhead. How does this stupid Narc agent distinguish an Altoids from Ecstasy?
Ever see Nerds candies? If they are pale yellow or tan, it looks just like crack rock. OMG, Nerds will make this stupid Narc agent cry.
How is Philly doing with their rampant drug crimes? Does hiring weepy women really help curb illegal drugs? I’m glad she’s all over the IceBreakers thing though. She couldn’t get her own daughter off of heroin, but she’s going to stop the dissolvable sugar packet thing cold. I guess dentists will thank her.
If you think its unfair that I pick on a cop whose daughter died, well, there were clues to her behavior. Cops are supposed to detect clues. Krystle Baehr even wrote it down in her diary that she was heavily into drugs and was in trouble. But this mom refused to search her room or question Krystle’s behavior until she was found dead in the back seat of her car of a heroin overdose.
From Linda’s own words here:
Until her death, I believed that I had the perfect all-American girl. After her passing, I began to look through her belongings and found items that indicated drug use. Her diary enlightened me even more. She smoked marijuana, snorted cocaine, took ecstasy and drank alcohol. She died from a heroin overdose.
Its sad when a parent loses a child. But its no excuse to go after a candymaker. Go after the drug dealers instead.
YOU MADE THIS INTO A WHOLE POST. I’m glad to see you publicized your brilliant comparison to those evil addictive Cascade Dishwasher Dissolvable Packets.
Thanks!
Yeah, those cascade packets, in the eyes of Philly cops, are nefarious clusters of cocaine, indistinguishable from the smack you buy on the mean streets downtown. Like IceBreakers, only bigger.
Linda is a pathetic cop who could not even deduce that her own daughter, Krystle Baehr, was whoring herself out for heroin……. WOW! Who the hell do you think you are, have some compassion. I personally new Krystle, I went to school with her, and for you to write something like that… SHAME ON YOU! I mean I can understand your counter arguement, but to call Krystle’s mom pathetic mom and Krystle a Whore… I hope you NEVER have to go through something like that one day. I guess this just shows how human beings can be so cold and heartless. It’s a disgrace!
Krystle was a prostitute, allowing men to abuse her so she could buy some smack. That my friend, is called a whore.
Are you disputing this fact?
And Krystle’s Mom had no time or energy to help Krystle when she was going to her doom, but after her death she sure seemed to see the light. She devoted her life to preventing another Krystle-type death, but did not put in that effort on her own daughter.
Are you disputing this fact too?
You might not like hearing the truth on the subject of your friend’s death. But it still remains the truth.
From all the articles I read, and hearing from her close friends, it was Krystle’s first time doing the se for drugs trade, but you can’t always believe what you read and hear. The situation is what it is. However, I was in school with Kryslte from freshmen year until her death, although I rarely seen her outside of school I was oblivious to her drug using. I just thought she was a nice all around good girl. So if she was good at hiding it from others she could have been just as good at hiding it from her parents and other loved ones. I personally never dabbled in drugs, but I did drink and I would always sleep out when I knew I would be drinking, what if Krystle did the same thing, coming back home when she was sober. I don’t know, I guess when its someone your age it touches a nerve. Im sure her mother will never forgive herself for not seeing signs sooner, so maybe by trying to keep others from spirling into the world or drugs she can have just a morsel of peace from this horrific ordeal. But your harsh words are all over candy. And yeah, it may seem silly because its just candy, but when I first looked on this page I seen the candy and the first thing that I thought of was that looks like drugs. But my words may seem silly to you. At the end of the day the reality is its just candy, you have your opinion, I have mine, and a mother’s only daughter is still dead. Thanks for taking the time to respond to me.
None,
Your words do not seem silly at all, and I do understand the pain this tragedy has caused, along with the endless questions such as why wasn’t Krystle’s problems detected before?
But Linda Wagner is not honoring her daughter’s death by going after CANDY. She would do it by busting drug dealers and keeping those bastards off the streets.
These gelatin packets are going to be everywhere in a very short time. From vitamins to chocolate to mints, these packets are the future of foods for adults and children alike. Wagner needs to focus on the drugs, not a gelatin packet that is clearly labeled as candy.
Finally, as a Mom, remember to always trust your children, but VERIFY what they are doing is right. That means reading their diaries, monitoring their internet usage and making sure they go where they say they do. Its a duty of responsible parents.
I’d really like to slap the shit out of that stupid cunt narc officer. Your daughter dies from heroin, so nobody can enjoy candy that just happens to resemble drugs? If your daughter was fucked to death, would we have the same problem with popsicles and corndogs? Psh.
I also posted about this on http://www.sidecarsally.com.
Sidecarsally, you LOLed me with the corndog reference! 😀
Pat, your retarded.. you can go fuck yourself with your comment about Krystle being a whore you fuck if a person… She wasn’t a prostitue you fucking scumbag…She was a good person who did some drugs and made a mistake, i hope you overdose you hermaphrodite….you know your probably just fucking ugly and sit in your house and cry over pathetic things like this…. Krystles mom might be simply complaining over candy, but YOUR complaining about a complaint over candy! Your the bigger loser you fuckin tool…. Your scum and I cant wait till you OD, or your kids do because they think its candy….And guess what ass, it does look like crack, i agree with her, being a new parent of my own…. Your the fucking whore pat, go to hell…. and say one more thing about krystle, i swear to god i will find out where your IP address is and find you, so stop complaining over the internet and go out and do shit about what you believe in, instead of being a pussy hiding behind a computer…. you piece of shit…. krystle was one of the nicest people i know, and you dont even know the backstory as to how she did it…. Ask her cousin you fuck, dont talk shit until you know the story you fuckin loser….say one more thing and i know about 80 people that will come after you… i dare ya
jjayjay,
Did I mention that Krystle was a cheap whore? And if anyone needed ice breakers mints, it was that junkie girl whose breath smelled like jock strap scrapings.
There I said something else.
I actually met and briefly dated Krystle and she was a sweet girl for the short time that I knew her. I was actually looking for her on facebook and wound up googling her and just found out what happened. Such a shame.
I was a very, very good friend of Krystle and she was teh farthest thing from a whore. So she made a few mistakes. How would you know what was in her diary? Did you read it? You have no right calling her a whore when you don’t even know what happened. Were you in the court room when the stories were told? I doubt it. How can you trash a 16 year olds name when she isn’t here to defned herself? And what about everyone who loves and cared about her? I don’t know who you are, but I hope something horrific happens to someone you love and your trashed on the internet like this. This is ridiculous! Linda is trying to help kids and make the world a little better by getting rid of drugs. So, again.. you don’t know Linda nd you didn’t know Krystle, so who are you to say anything? Your whole website is you bitching about stuff.. get a life.
WOW Pat! Do you have no one or nothing in your own life that brings you happiness? Is this why you get a “high” off of belittling people, be they dead or alive? You are no different than a drug addict, just your chosen drug is hatred.
NGK,
You idiot, her mother told the newspaper what was in her diary. Her mother chose not to read it while her daughter was whoring herself out for smack, but read it after she died, probably doing a face palm of regret for not snooping.
And if you were such a good friend, why didn’t you get krystle the help she needed for her addiction? Why did you and her mother let Krystle suck cock for smack? But i’m glad you can take out your anger at me, who is only telling the truth about what happened.
First of all, you don’t know me, Linda or Krystle so you have no right to say anything about any of us. Krystle was a straight A student and had 2 jobs. No one was aware of whatever problems she had. Maybe she was great at covering it up. Calling her a whore and trashing her name is not telling the truth. That is the sound of a pathetic person who has nothing going on in their own life that needs to trash a dead person. And she didn’t “whore” herself around for anything. Like I said, were you in the court room when the stories were told? I think not. So get your facts straight before you open your mouth. You say your a mother, go worry about your own kids instead of writing about everyone else. You run a website full of bitching and moaning about others and what they do. Get a hobby and a life.
NgL you don’t have to know anyone personally to know that they are failures at life. Krystle sucked cock for drugs. That’s a fact. That is called whoring yourself out. And banning candy won’t rid the streets of drugs. This too is a massive failure at life just like letting your daughter or close friend get so hooked on drugs while still in high school that she ends up dead of an overdose. I am stating facts and you still seem incapable of facing reality.
Failure at life? Because she made a mistake? I assume that you are perfect and so are your children. I’d like to know where you’re getting your “facts” that she “whored” herself for drugs? Because that wasn’t in her diary. But you’re tough and mighty hiding behind your computer. You would never say any of this to Linda personally or anyone that knew Krystle. All your post had to say was that you disagree with Linda wanting to ban candy, as I’m sure most people do. All of the insults thrown around about a 16 year old girl were not necessary at all. If this was someone you loved, I’m sure you’d be pretty pissed. But if insulting dead people is what gets you off, then your the troubled one here.
Of course I would say it as I am saying it now. Linda has a pattern of poor decision making and poor life management, as is evidenced by her dead daughter. Rather than go after real drugs she chose to use her dead daughter as an excuse to ban a candy product.
I cited my sources above. Those links are likely still available on archive.org
DO you know EVERYTHING your children do? Doubt it. She has a pattern of poor decision making and life management? YOU DON’T KNOW HER! You know that her daughter died from heroin. The first time she ever tried it! She is a police officer, they do go after real drugs. You cited a source that said Krystle tried some drugs.. theres no source that she “whored” herself around for drugs, because that is not the truth. So once again, get your facts straight before you run your mouth from your computer. I’d like to meet you so you could say all of this to me.. because I doubt you’d say anything.
Newsflash dummy. You don’t have to know someone to draw conclusions based on evidence on hand. Linda never read her daughter’s diary while Krystle was still alive, where she could have learned valueable clues to her behavior and could have intervened and prevented her death. That is a bad decision.
Krystle Baehr certainly did not die on her first use of heroin. It was documented by other friends (who had hoped to use her as an example of what not to do) that she had turned to turning tricks to feed her growing addictions.
Knowing what I do about addiction, this behavior on Krystle’s part is indicative of childhood trauma, either sexual assault as a child or some other type of trauma- maybe Dad was never there, I don’t know.
But Mom Linda learned too late about her daughter’s proclivities and instead of making the right decisions (for a change) to go after hard drugs, she campaigned to ban candy.
Fail as a Mom. Fail as a cop.
I’d like to see this documentation that you have from her “friends” that she turned tricks. Do you believe everything you read? It was her first dose of heroin. Don’t tell me. Again, get your facts straight. You were not in the court room. I was. Why would a mother go through her daughters diary when there was no indications of wrong doing? Krystle was a straight A student that had 2 good jobs. Your kids could be drug addicts for all you know. Not one person in this world knows every single thing about another.. whether it be your best friend or child. Now your making up stuff about Krystles childhood? What kind of sick person are you? Her father actually was around and very active in her life. You don’t know Linda to judge her and you certainly have no idea what you would have done unless you were in her shoes. Now when you google my good friends name, this is all thats left of her.. some website made by some creature who has nothing better to do than slander a dead girl. Your real tough behind your computer, aren’t you?
And that just goes to show what a lousy cop Linda is. Couldn’t recognize a clue that her daughter was a drug addict.
As far as straight A’s, it was Philadelphia, right? Not hard to get a good grade in that city. Pretty easy to score a bunch of smack without your Mom knowing about it tho.
If those good grades were lines of coke, Krystle would have snorted it.
Of course a drug addict takes two jobs to pay for expensive drugs like ecstasy and cocaine and heroin. And when she was broke she exchanged sexual favors for the drugs.
I’m not a sick person. A sick person is someone who ignores the behavior of a child and then launches a campaign to rid the city of candy in her dead daughter’s name.
You say Dad was “around.” That’s code for divorced and see you on the weekends, right? Yeah, divorce doesn’t traumatize children and make them turn to drugs to cope.
You keep mentioning court- Did someone get charged for a crime for Krystle’s death?
Your just one of those idiots that think your shit doesn’t stink and your better than everyone. Krystles dad was in her life and actively in her life. I never said divorced.. there you go with your assumptions. There was no behavior to ignore. And your still insulting a dead girl.. and no sexual faovrs were exchanged. And wait, you didn’t know there was a trial? I guess you don’t have all of the “facts” now do you?
Are you Nikki? The sad girl who still writes way too much personal information on her Obit site almost 10 years after she OD’d? Congrats on the marriage.
Did you smoke pot with Krystle? Catholic school girls rarely do drugs alone.
You know she can’t read those messages you write, right? You should check into some grief counseling.
And in case you don’t get it, I’m giving you a chance to share some information about the trial, as you have noted, there is scant little other information about Krystle. How’d the trial go?
I’m content now knowing that you have no clue what your talking about when it comes to this. You read newspapers.. wow. I bet you love the celebrity gossip magazines too. So get a clue.
