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.

A very good read of the original arrest. He's a good guy in my book.

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.

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 have to pay the shop that supports illegal activity, why??

"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...

>> 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.

I have read several recent stories about “bath salts”, including particularly interesting stories about users eating people’s faces, but never knew what “bath salts” are. This is a pretty good rundown, from Wikipedia:
