Not quite. He was pursuing mind numbing stupidity and became too impaired to control his use of arms.

Meth and Heroin are totally legal, with prescription. If the government didn’t have so much wrapped up in protecting pharmaceutical monopolies, there would be no money in illegally selling meth and dope to begin with.

Edit: I used the word protect, but “collaborate” would be more accurate.

No matter what you say about your (Constitutional, which has nothing to do with whatever you consider to be a god) right to bear arms, nobody has the right to be in possession of a firearm while committing a crime. Possession of the stuff the guy had is a felony. Ergo, possession of a firearm while committing a felony is a chargeable offense.

No shit. Just because the government can strip you of your rights because they decided to declare war on poor people, doesn’t make it right.

Children should be armed because they haven’t the ability to judge when their use is appropriate. Neither do the drug addled. They both are natural and reasonable exceptions to the “well regulated” part of the Second Amendment.

Meth might help a population poisoned with estrogen.in small amounts,something for the doctors.testosterone ,I don’t think would prevent early breast cancer.

My first week in Humboldt I had a man obviously high on meth pull a gun on me and say “what’s up”. I think it’s because he saw me twice in one day, on a bus and on a street walking and I think in his tweaker mind that meant I was stalking him. I was so shocked I just said “nothing” and walked around him. Somehow that worked. Meths so trippy because no mind can stay sane without sleep, it’s not the drug that turns you crazy. Tweakers with guns is about as scary as it gets!

this whole county is a cesspool joke. 30 years ago whenever I left the area I used to tell people I was from eureka instead of Humboldt to try to disassociate from the marijuana sigma, now when I leave the area I tell people I’m from Sacramento because I am honestly embarrassed to to tell people I am from this area. Humboldt county is a joke and it isn’t a recent development. I love this place but I hate what has happened to it, and I am not solely blaming pot, narcotics and lenient punishment for drugs have ruined this place. Hands down.

People are blind, the number one issue worldwide is overpopulation. It has led to the increase in poverty, they don’t just print more money every time a baby pops out. Since the world population tripled from 2.5 to 7.5 billion in a mere 68 years, about the average American lifespan, everything good and bad has also tripled. So there are at least three times as many hippies and enlightened folk and sustainably living people but there are also at least 3 times as many criminals and drug addicts, suicides, murders etc. All of this is exasperated by the growing poverty level from too many humans on the planet and poverty also increases the negative issues and crime. There are no parts of America that are immune to these effects and if people don’t start being responsible enough to only have 0-2 kids then this will continue to be our reality. I personally use to take issue with the greed of the marijuana industry and who it attracts to Humboldt but having moved away to the bay area for a year I’m scrambling to get back to Humboldt. At least there’s a higher percentage of ethical and enlightened people and Eureka Natty in Humboldt, plus the same issues as everywhere else. STOP BEING SELFISH AND POPPING OUT 3+ KIDS AMERICA, YOUR FUDGEING EVERYTHING UP AND DESTROYING YOUR KIDS CHANCE AT A GOOD LIFE. There’s already not enough room or water for the 7.5 billion here, the fires won’t magically go away with more people and more water used.

If someone has a non lethal solution for the main problem with population control, it would be good to hear. The main but not only problem is that any group who controls their population without retaining the will and means to protect their resources by force gets overrun by those who make lots of children. So having lots of children always wins up to the point of population collapse.

It is not the United States that is overpopulating the world. The birth rate in the United States has been below replacement level since 1971. Immigrants and their US born children account for over 75% of the United States population growth each year and is increasing rapidly.

And I guess nobody explained to the Federal Reserve and Obama that you just can’t print more money.

Back in the day meth was made from chemicals that were much less harmful to the user most were made from sulfates that did not make you tweek. The government war on drugs made these drugs impossible to get So now people make it out of harmful chemicals. The war on drugs is a war on americans that choose to use drugs in their pursuit of happiness a right that is promised to all americans.
