Something the pro-legalization cadre will ignore. After all, it was "only" a trick-or-treater whose right to play in the neighborhood gets trumped by the adult's right to recreational poisons.

Only 25 years?? This moron will be back on the streets in 5 to 7 years- if I were this kid's father, I would make sure he never had a chance to beat up another 12 year old (and I don't joke about these things).

"Colbrunn was allegedly high on methamphetamine"

Of course, thats irrelevant to the immoral idiots known as the Libertarians..

"This defendant is a poster child against the argument for drugs being legalized," Superior Court Judge Stephen Ashworth said. "Not that he's not responsible. But if it wasn't for drugs, this never would have happened."

mmmmm hhhhmmmmmmm

"This defendant is a poster child against the argument for drugs being legalized," Superior Court Judge Stephen Ashworth said. "Not that he's not responsible. But if it wasn't for drugs, this never would have happened."

But if the drug was illegal, how was he able to get it? Doesn't make sense.

"This defendant is a poster child against the argument for drugs being legalized," Superior Court Judge Stephen Ashworth said. "Not that he's not responsible. But if it wasn't for drugs, this never would have happened."

But if it wasn't for guns, this shooting never would have happened.

But if it wasn't for alcohol, this drunk driving never would have happened.

But if it wasn't for cigarettes, this cancer never would have happened."

Same old nanny-state clap-trap.... different day.

The individual is responsible, not the inanimate object.

Colbrunn was allegedly high on methamphetamine when he unleashed his fury on the boy.

Hey, look! You have yet another great argument for altered consciousness... /SARCASM

What about baseball bats?

Colbrunn was allegedly high on methamphetamine when he unleashed his fury on the boy.

You do realize, don't you, that this would have NEVER happened had methamphetamines been legal.

It isn't the drug that's bad--its the state's foolishness in making such substances illegal that causes the harm.

At least that's what the liberdopians tell me. No, it doesn't make sense, but "making sense" isn't a liberdopian strength.

"This defendant is a poster child against the argument for drugs being legalized," Superior Court Judge Stephen Ashworth said. "Not that he's not responsible. But if it wasn't for drugs, this never would have happened."

Superior Court Judge shows inferior intellect. If it weren't for irresponsible a-holes, this would never have happened. However, it did happen, even with drug laws. As though laws ever kept anyone from using drugs. If it weren't for the availability of baseball bats, this would never have happened either. Ban baseball bats. If it weren't for Halloween, this would never have happened. Ban Halloween.

Oh yeah? Well, if drugs were "de-criminalized", and this stupid War on Drugs was ended

Nevermind.

GIVE THE PARENTS THE SAME IMPLIMENTS OF DESTRUCTION AND SET THEM LOOSE ON THE DUDE

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

Uhhhh not that I am condoning this at all but did the trick or treater have an orange UNICEF BOX? This is enough to set tempers off.

     "This defendant is a poster child against the argument for drugs being legalized," Superior Court Judge Stephen Ashworth said. "Not that he's not
     responsible. But if it wasn't for drugs, this never would have happened."

Stupid Judge, if it wasn't for this irresponsible
individual this never would have happened.

I suppose this person would have been a Saint
if that horrible narcotic hadn't invaded his veins
and turned him into a vicious evil monster!  It
makes me wonder what Hitler's excuse was.

If he had done it while not on Speed what excuse
would the liberal apologists have allowed him?
He was abused as a child?  He had a tumor in
the brain?   What tripe!   The truth is this monster
also just happened to take methamphetamine.

Did the 40 year old war on drugs prevent this
awful situation from happening?   No!
The decades old prohibition on drugs didn't
prevent this crime, so how could this Superior
Court Judge make such a stupid leap of logic?
