Not a surprise.
Voting yes on legaling marijuana was a terrible mistake. Not only has crime
( home/auto break-ins, theft, etc) , increase as users will need more money to buy, but also youth and adults will destroy their brains. Proven fact!
Find it what they were buying before you make very stupid comments about things you don’t know, or understand. Since legalizing marijuana it hasn’t increased anything but taxes coming into state funds. Idiot.
Wrong, legalizing marijuana has caused more problems such as people growing it illegally and then thieves raiding fields trying to steal it. Lots of this going on in the Sacramento area where a cop just got killed. Also, thieves trying to steal a stash over on Garcia Avenue in Pittsburg resulting in the killing of the guy who ran the operation. Read your police reports!
Try reading the article. It said ILLEGAL DRUGS. Like you mentioned marijuana is now LEGAL!
Marijuana is not the problem!
Marijuana kills hundreds of thousands of BRAIN CELLS …….. that’s why STONERS are so stupid!
Why did you capitalize “brain cells” and “stoners”? You sound like an average lame baby boomer. Time to call it quits old fart.
Being born in 1985 doesn’t make me a “baby boomer.” My grandparents are baby boomers. I capitalized those words for emphasis.
You come across as a brainless OLD FART, Mary Jo. See what toking does to you? How many brain cells do you have left?
Not sure how legalizing marijuana led to the murder of a 17yo selling illegal drugs to a 16yo. There is no legal drugs at these ages and no legal drugs sold out of a car. Let’s not blame a law with people… kids making poor choices.
“Legalizing” marijuana was a huge mistake. It’s still illegal on the federal level and the feds just might pull the rug from under this “law,” according to what I’m hearing from our DOJ. Also, no one is investing in this “industry.” So, some people thought they’d make a killing in it, but it’s not happening.
Really this is not because of legalization of cannabis you are an idiot the industry is making money and nobody under 21 unless a medical patient can obtain cannabis legally this is about some little wanna be gang bangers that are pieces of shit and the victims were just as stupid for meeting said thugs so all you fear mongers crawl back under your rocks and stay uneducated
Dumb. Legalizing marijuana had nothing to do with this. It’s the new reality where knuckleheads pull out guns, instead of how we used to fight in our time. If anything, this emphasizes the need to stop the proliferation of guns. Access to guns is the problem here
In countries where every head of household is required, BY LAW, to have a firearm none of this happens. An armed society is a POLITE society. Think about it!
Don’t do drugs people or you might die. Literally!
You’re 100% correct, Pepe! Even doing the so-called legal drugs can get one killed as we see here.
Legal drugs kill too. But no one wants to talk about that.
Wow! Antioch’s 10 murder! And it’s not even the end of December yet! Nice going, Antioch!
Yes! Crimes escalate during November and December when the holidays approach. This is not the end of the cycle.
The tree should burn for the rotten fruit it produced. Stop f****** and start s****** or licking but for Gods sake stop sticking!
I just posted a comment into the future. Your clock is an hour ahead their genius!
And I don’t know how to spel because I went to kernel Ragos sloop for Kidz who don’t reed to gud
Print the punks name. who’s his daddy, anybody know. POS PUNK.
Not a single bit of regard or compassion for the familys involved in this tragic story. Very sad what our people have come to. Cant even have a tiny bit of respect for the mom that has to bury her baby or the mom that has to learn how to visit her baby in jail for the rest of his life. All so selfish and disrespectful people jumping on the I got to tell you about how “I” feel wagon. Just sad a sickning. Rip bby girl. I could never imagine going through what your family has to go through, NO MATTER WHAT THE STORY IS PERIOD!! someone is dead!! Having positive support and comments would be the kind thing to do first. Yes, this is a free county and we have the right to free speech but for your negative comments to come out so immediatly, i thinking mabye your mammas would be ashamed. And now go ahead and talk crap about my spelling and my comments, its expected but seriously think about it and if what im saying makes no sense to you, that breaks my heart. God please protect all involved in this very sad story. Keep them strong in this hard time.
That mom should have taught her “baby” not to get involved with idiots and drugs! Now, where is the DAD?
The kid who did the shooting should never see the light of day again! let him mom visit him in prison and think about how she raised him. Whats the matter with these people? Do they think the kid will just be plopped down and raise himself? If you don’t know how to raise a child, then don’t have any. No one will miss them!
Yes! Someone IS dead and someone else will pay the price for making them dead. This should serve as another lesson on how to bring up your kids! Also, you need to supervise your kids more and get involved in what they are doing and who are their friends. Kids do not raise themselves . . they are like clay to be molded.
My Mama and Papa made sure we were raised right and not hang out with criminal punks. Both parents were on the same page as far as upbringing all three of us. They were both involved on a day-to-day basis and we are so grateful for that.
Well, zero compassion for the “mom” who has to visit her “baby” in prison. That’s just too bad. And just a bit of compassion for the 17 year old, who decided that her life wasn’t complete without hanging out with lowlifes. Sorry that she learned her lesson the hard way
Check out KRON or KPIX for the video of a guy driving right into another guy, pinning him between the vehicle and door. Over marijuana. Happened yesterday. Neighborhood looks like Mokelumne, but hard to tell.
Illegal grows have been going on way before legalization idiots also to the idiottgat mentioned the killing in Pittsburg that was a few years ago prior to legalization and was an illegal grow you people are some truly uneducated dip s***s learn before you speak and look stupid
I don’t think marijuana was mentioned in the story. All it said was “illegal drugs” which could be cocaine, etc.
Just another example of parents who have failed miserably!!! Some people just need to use contraception.
