Flysmallie Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I have two daughters one 13 and one almost 6. I might be a little overly sensitive to the drug thing because a good friend of mine had a daughter that committed suicide recently after a 10 year battle with heroin addiction. That's horrible. The only good that comes from that is your kids seeing it happen. It tends to keep them in check. My daughters have witnessed things from close relatives that have scared them enough to keep them from anything serious I hope. It's worked so far.

Well good, cuz I was getting tired of hearing all the meth propaganda. So now all the monsters can be heroin junkys for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOPanfisher Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 While true that no two people are affected by alcahol the same, there has to be a hard limit set or its unenforceable. Used to be 0.10, now its 0.08. Fine, I susbscribe to the idea that one of the group (sometimes me most often wasn't) was the DSG (Designated Sober Guy), whose job it was to handle transportation, and direct others away from the most obvious sources of harm, like seeing if you can jump into the hotel pool from the 2nd floor balcony. etc. The DSG did NOT get to consume anything stronger than soda, period, you could smoke all the cigarettes and cigars, or chew Redman till you vomit, but no alcahol.

mjk86 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I wish less people would drink alcohol and more would smoke marijuana. Its about on par with coffee in terms of dangerous drugs. Also, most people totally miss the real drug problem which is RX overdose. More people die annually from prescriptions than all other drugs combined, also RX drugs are not limited to the poor, they are equal opportunity killers, chances are one or more of the people reading this right now abuse RX pills. Alcohol is second when you include acute deaths (poisoning), chronic death (liver failure), and accidents (car/falling off of a boat while handcuffed) jtram, james, Terrierman and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smalliebigs Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I didn't think we were but heroin is becoming the drug of choice around here. Yep suburban kids in Kirkwood, Webster groves, Ballwin and Chesterfield are into snorting Heroin it seems......There has been at least a death a year from overdose in all of those communities in the last couple of years. They are into pain killers around here too, Adderall as well. Snorting Heroin is less nasty I assume??? but they are snorting that crap in St. Louis County, if you think otherwise you are not close enough to younger folks to know. I still think the Trooper was very negligent in hand cuffing a guy on water and not securing him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinwrench Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I still think the Trooper was very negligent in hand cuffing a guy on water and not securing him Why did he need to be handcuffed in the first place, he wasn't threatening anyone and was being cooperative. Handcuffing someone on the water is a bad idea unless they are a true threat. If they feel the person is likely to become combative then they should be taken directly to land and call a sheriff to come retrieve them. Being on a boat over rough water with your hands tied behind your back would be kinda scary really. Smalliebigs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOPanfisher Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Just like in a police car (which is what the boat is essentially), if you are in custody, you are handcuffed per protocol, which also dictated a type I PFD properly attached, that part wasn't followed.

fishinwrench Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Yeah Piercy didn't care if he drowned, he just wanted to make sure he didn't have to wrestle him. That's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
