A Texas teenager set his mother’s clothes ablaze after the woman refused to provide him money to purchase marijuana, authorities said.

The Harris County Fire Marshall’s Office said John Carter, 18, started setting his mom’s wardrobe on fire after she declined to give him money for drugs.

“Our investigation found that 18-year-old John Carter was angry at his mother because she would not give him money so he could buy marijuana, so he started setting her clothes on fire,” Lt. Dean Hensley with the Harris County Fire Marshal Office told KTRK.

Let me guess she spent the first 18 years being lenient on this kid

Must've been off his meds. Pot is the religion drug of peace.

[Frank_2001]

Well, SOMEONE’S about to be disinherited! ;)

[bramps]

What choice did he have? She obviously didn’t have money to burn.

[GeronL]

I guess he didn’t think about suing mom?

Perfect Generation Obama...why work when a parent provides everything

[Gene Eric]

Just wait until his father finds out...

[catnipman]

Bad move. The kid should have sued the mom for pot support money instead.

The dude should’a got some ca$h from Bammy’s Sta$h.

[Paladin2]

The kid should’a asked Dad for the dough....

[econjack]

Any bets on who he asked to post the $30,000 bail bond? It’s sorta like the Menendez brother asking the court for mercy because they’re orphans.

[GeronL]

Is there a dad?

[eclecticEel]

At least he didn’t run away to Mars.

First thought that comes to mind:


Down by the River; ne're were there shinier pearls of wisdom.

One more for Matt Foley:
and all the motivational speakers out there.

seems Singaporean "canning" is in order on/in public a place/athletic field (free/small price)
maybe a stern male parent/uncle/grandfather, if any volunteers or even the general public..
"first whack is free, very small charge for 10 whack @ a crackhead/25¢ more, no featherduster/hockeystick allowed".

Pile of clothes on the front lawn or while she was wearing them. Dang is right.

“Just wait until his father finds out...”

What father, but I’m sure you know there isn’t one around.
