Anyone else find this odd:

One of the security guards, Angel Altmon, told The Herald-Sun that when she called police, she told the dispatcher the woman was sitting in a car and was "intoxicated, drunk or something."

"Somebody must have slipped her something, because she wasn't drunk," Altmon told the newspaper. "If she was drunk, I would have smelled something."

Why is it if the accuser was drunk or drugged someone had to have slipped her something? Why isn't it possible she administered the drugs and/or alcohol to herself?

To the extent that the guard said, "intoxicated, drunk, or something..." I don't find that particularly odd. To think she would assume someone had "slipped" the AV something, I find that a small leap. These days are different than those I grew up in and, from what I am hearing from my son, he has received a couple of phone calls from girls who claim they have been slipped something at parties. These calls have come in on his cell phone while he has been at home over the summer -- say, the day after the party, but I have been quick to warn him to never get involved (especially in light of what we and the boys from Duke have been through). I tell him to call 911 if someone asks for assistance and let (bite my tongue) the police sort it out.

The guard, I assume, had some knowledge of the folks in the community and is, perhaps, out in the social life more than most of us. It is going on, I'm told.

What I find disgusting is the total lack of investigation on the part of the police and the ER's in Durham. Somebody comes in a state like that and they'd have the entire battery of tests done -- permission, or not, I wouldn't want the possibility of a malpractice suit against the ER.

2 posts at CTV caught my eye only because how short and to the point they were.

I am tossing it out because it is a subject I know nothing about---they thought her behavior was typical of someone on heroin.

Comments anyone?
