What Went Wrong?

posted by on November 20 at 17:43 PM

The boy had a mother and a father—how could this have happened?

Nancy Everson was shot to death early in the morning of Jan 15. Grant Everson, 21, is charged with plotting with his friends to murder his parents and allegedly profit from their life insurance….

Prior to Tom Everson’s testimony, the prosecution said in its opening statement that Grant Everson was spending most of his time at the Burnsville apartment of his friends, Joel Beckrich and Chris Fuhrman, where they habitually played video games and smoked marijuana. It was there that the men hatched a plan to slit the Eversons’ throats as they slept, bringing a shotgun as a back-up plan, said Assistant Carver County Attorney Peter Ivy….

The apparent motive was to use the life insurance money to open a coffee shop in Amsterdam and sell marijuana.

Well, at least Grant wasn’t out there operating any cranes.

I wonder if the person that wrote that story wants us to equate marijuana and video games with the murdering of parents by their children. It couldn't be because of any other issues, could it? I mean, it has to be the pot and the evil vids, right? Because those are scientifically proven to lead to acts of violence, right? Oh, right, they're not.

No question about it, it was caused by the devil's own favourite houseplant marijuana.

Dan, as much as I may believe that banning same-sex marriage is abusive to those affected, how about showing us examples of same-sex couples and families that are benefiting society rather than heterosexual couples and families that are disgusting and horrific? Just a thought.

Do you think Amsterdam is as excited to get a bunch of murderous doper shitheads from the US to go over there and open coffeehouses as I think they are?

Isn't there a video game where the kid slits his parents throats then gets a coffee shop in Amsterdam?

Assholes like that give pot and video games a bad name. Next you'll tell me they like to masturbate and watch The Daily Show (not at the same time).
