Home owners should have shot him in the face

I've gotta be totally honest here - the guy was drunk and lost. It doesn't have anything to do with any of the candidates, it doesn't have anything to do with who the guy was... He just got drunk and acted a fool. It's only a story because of who he's an associate of.

I give the guy a full pass. If this were just some random guy, this wouldn't be anything other than a local news story, that wouldn't necessarily get covered by more than one newscast.

@sikvenum82 i think we're more or less on the same page. i 100% agree with the unlicensed seller point; the worst part about pot being illegal is putting up with shady pot dealers. it should be a regulated, taxable product, just like tobacco or alcohol. and if we have a parent whose addiction is harming a child or harming someone else in some way, we do have to do something. but the government saying people can't unwind after a day of work with a joint is just crazy talk.

@jspanglerw Lmao injecting bull semen into a guy's eye. Yeah the posession is ridiculous. But the unlicenced selling should definitely stay illegal. I agree we shouldn't legislate people's bodies up to a certain point. If it endanger's others like tobacco smoking, addict parents yes then we should step in. I feel that alot of people are confusing the casual user of booze/weed with a gang dealer/hardcore addict.
