According to the male victim, he had been resting in his vehicle at a turnout on Scenic Drive when a pick-up truck arrived at the location.

The subjects then reportedly physically assaulted the victim and attempted to steal his belongings from his vehicle. While attempting to stop the subjects, the victim received a non-life-threatening stab wound. The victim told deputies that the suspects stole his B.B. gun from the vehicle prior to fleeing the scene.

The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment.

The suspect vehicle is described as a dark-colored, full-size, extended cab pick-up truck, last seen traveling north on Scenic Drive. Deputies conducted a search of the surrounding area and were unable to locate the described vehicle or its occupants.

That’s a piss poor excuse for bad behavior. I’ve been flat broke twice in my life, but I never resorted to robbery or assault. I imagine that proper blame could be laid upon the parents of the alleged perpetrators.

Don’t blame the parents. People make their own bad choices in life. People have a moral compass or they don’t.

yes, but i’m grateful my dad has his foot up my ass as a youngster so i could get a moral compass and learn how to have a good life. it’s about choices one makes in one’s life and having to suffer the consequences, no excuses

Nothing stops the meth monster. Parents, morals or otherwise. Meth/Heroin rules once you let it in

I would assume you haven’t raised any children? Yes, some people are bad no matter what their taught, but if you reward or ignore a children’s bad behavior they start to think it’s okay to act that way because they don’t know any difference. By the time they’re old enough to discern right from wrong for themselves there moralities are already skewed because they’re used to getting their way.

What is trying to be stated is this is the fallout from legal pot. Ones who have devoted entire life to drug production and processing are now having the carpet pulled from beneath. In many cases only direction of travel is down. Big bank failed in 09 but legal marijuana will prove to be more devastating.

Coming from the person that got stabbed that night. You don’t know shit about me. It’s obvious that you judge a book by its cover. But you really suck at it. I am not some tweaking meth slaing thug. I am a man protecting his family and his belongings. I had a BB gun cuz there fun to shoot [edit]. And that’s all the punk ass bitch who stabbed me could find before fleeing and stabbing me like a coward cuz his daddy never tought him how to be a man and fight with his fists.

Just like the moonshiners after the repeal of that Prohibition. The law was a failure just like the laws against cannabis. Those who made their living solely on the black market had plenty of time to adjust or change occupations unless they were completely blind to the coming change in the law. The “carpet” wasn’t pulled, it gradually slipped. The definition of intelligence is the ability to adapt adequately to new stimulus in one’s environment.

Prohibition was actually a success at reducing alcohol consumption and reduction in places serving it. But it had unintended side effects of encouraging criminals to organize. It will be interesting to see if the current criminals organize themselves to keep the income stream flowing. Probably some will. Some will keep on being illegal but it will be more of a scramble. Overall most likely there will be a fading away of growers as the huge profits go away. The bootleggers were middle men more than producers. Here there have been fewer middlemen- also known as businessmen- that have a habit of organizing and who will lateral to new markets.

Mark my word, after 2020 when big tobacco and big pharma set up shop in California The Triangle will resemble the most depressed regions of Appalachia. The permitted growers that spent thousands and earned little will be driven out and all that will be left are county workers and impoverished people. The average pot consumer could care less about branding. They just want to get high.

I agree. I was able to hear Steve speak at a small venue just before the June primary. He has great ideas with facts to back them up.
