I'm totally down with this story ... except the father should have been given the KEY to the city and NOT probation.

So, even though this is essentially an illegal business, selling items intended to facilitate the consumption of illicit substances, it remains illegal for a peasant to trash one up? I guess if you want to smash up head shops, become a DEA special agent first/s;)

“...except the father should have been given the KEY to the city and NOT probation. “
He was not given probation.
A conditional discharge means “Goodbye, have a nice life and if we don’t hear from you again then the charges go away one year from today - no further action on your part is required”
All it cost him was the $600 and some odd bucks in restitution. (Too bad about that, though)
Oh, and he may have had lawyers fees.

Well, you have to get all the high speed, low drag training. It's obvious this type of thing should be left to the professionals.
Key indicator this guy isn't a "professional?" He didn't shoot any neighborhood pets, or bust up the wrong shop in the process.

So much for personal responsibility. I’m sure by the dad’s logic it’s totally fine to smash up liquor stores or tobacco shops since they sell harmful products as well.
To: DogByte6RER
I still marvel how the criminals running this govt outlaw things which are similar to banned drugs. Laws mean nothing anymore.

He's required only to obey all state and federal laws, she said.So, we should expect to see him in jail in a couple of days ... if he's lucky.

"You're a sick man to sell this to these kids"
his 24 year-old son was hospitalized after overdosing on glass cleaner
Even though I can sorta sympathize, his son was no kid, and if a MAN of 24 was doing this stuff,
maybe the dad oughta look at how he raised his son.
Just sayin...

True perhaps. But, nevertheless, I hope I would do the same thing this father did if I were in his shoes.

A lot of baby boomers raised themselve as latchkey kids and made it through life. Some kids saw their parents for only a few hours a day. Some kids didn't make it past early adulthood. Most I know that died did so from mixing booze and cars. I don't think every aggrieved parent has the right to smash up a package store. Bath salts, that's another story. there is no redeeming benefit of injesting salts. Certainly not comparable to having wine with dinner.

>> He’s required only to obey all state and federal laws, she said.
Is that a special condition?
Any legalization of drugs should be accompanied by the legalization of suitable vigilantism.

Love it! Maybe if more people took things into their own hands these dope dealers won’t keep destroying everything.

Evidently, your kids turned out real well though. Maybe you'd like to share your secrets with the rest of the class.
Just say'n.
