The Infidel
EVIL CONSERVATIVE
Teenagers have notoriously bad judgment. Drug taking decreases the ability to make sound judgments. It's one of the dangers of drug use. People make bad judgments all the time and sometimes it costs them their life. Young men who are full of themselves and think they can take down someone who looks weaker than they are die every day. Sad, sad.
A teenager with marijuana in his system really doesn't tell me much though, if you were to round up all the students in a mostly white high school you would find alot of them with THC in their system too, I learned how to smoke weed from a white boy in high school.
You aren't making the right connections. It's not how many, or how common. It's whether the THC in their system was enough to impair their judgment to the point where they did not perceive a danger?
Let me try an example. An all white school, 100 students are at a party and every one of them is high on pot. ONE student gets in his car, in his judgment 80 miles an hour is a safe speed. He thinks the road curves right when it curves left and drives off a cliff. The THC in his system was sufficient to impair his judgment to the point where he could not act safely.
Put it this way, had this been an inner city neighborhood known to Trayvon Martin to be infested with armed gangs, he likely would not have made the decisions he did. He assumed he was bigger and badder than shorty over there. He did not think that shorty would be armed. He was wrong.
More punks need to be wondering that too.
The thugs and gang bangers should not be the only ones carrying weapons.
