Agreed. Why would "asthma inhalers" be placed in the same category as proscribed drugs? Presumably if its over the counter or prescription medicine, no intelligent person would have a problem.

In a very broad sense, there's little legal difference between using or posessing a prescription medication that wasn't prescribed for you and an "illegal drug."

Not supporting the above, simply pointing that out.

Liberals are such sticklers for compassion. As long as its compassion dispensed by bureaucrats.

Strictly speaking you're right. But most people consider the entire picture not just the law, to determine the difference between right and wrong.

Principal Greg Poole told Eyewitness News, "It's hard, it's difficult. We certainly don't look forward to expelling any kid. But then you have to consider a kid takes the medication and has an allergic reaction, and then we have to deal with that issue. So, yes, there is no discretion at this stage."

While I'm not a fan of the war on drugs, I would immensely enjoy watching this spineless bootlicker get his door kicked in and his house and car seized by DEA agents responding to a false tip.

Just so. One of the parts of being an attourney general is deciding what to prosecute and what not to. This case screams for the latter.

These people are insaen, of course, you know they are being driven that way by trail lawyers... THEY are destroying our country. Something needs to be done about out of control lawyers.

If there is anyone close to this case, please, please contact the young mans family and have their attorney review the Doctrine of Competing Harms, Doctrine of Necessity, Doctrine of two Evils as applicable in the Texas statutes. It will vindicate this young man.

Excerpt:
"By comparison, the legal defense of necessity applies more generally to breaking the law, such that one may be found justified in breaking the law in certain rare circumstances where following the law would demonstrably cause more human injury (or, perhaps, suffering) to some innocent person(s) than breaking it."

If this policy keeps some drug-addled teenage junkie from offering his wares to my kid, I'm all for it. Break the law - pay the price! I wonder what other junk these filthy runts were inhaling...

My father always said that no one is perfect. He was wrong. Your comment shows that you are a complete F***ing idiot.

[sarasmom]

Like prayers, and the pledge of allegiance, common sense is no longer allowed in public schools.
It might warp the minds of the children.

[nanook]

I think you meant to say a "Complete Perfect F***ing Idiot".

Every educrat is a Gestapo thug.

I'm so proud!
