We're supposed to believe that Joe Friday and his make-believe drug paranoia were responsible for that?
“You’re high on pot right now, aren’t you? Junk. The devil’s weed. Look that way to you, Frank?”
“Appears that way, Joe.”
“This guy, this tacticalogic, he thinks its fine to smoke this marijuana.”
“Right as rain, according to him.”
“Next thing you know, he’s hopped up hallucinating running naked through the neighborhood terrorizing the children creating a traffic nuisance diving off a cliff…”
“Lots of innocent children at the bottom of those cliffs Joe.”
“But this guy’s just gotta have his hit his junk his dope. He doesn’t care about the kids at the bottom of that cliff…”
“Couldn’t care less, Joe.”
"It makes me sick."
Sadly, there were no witnesses to Mr. Pike's untimely departure....
...No one to hear him laugh himself dead. It's a shame.
