I wasn't disparaging your field of work, though I didn't know about the stringent drug testing.

You were insinuating that the man had to do 'meth' to work 12 hour shifts. The further implication with the beheading aspect is that he was buying it from Mexican drug dealers and ran afoul of them.

No, I'm not half-cocked, I'm full irate at you and a whole host of posters on this thread and the other posted threads covering this incident. You have no idea of the hardships petrochemical workers go through and yet you're all full-throated with insinuations, innuendo and besmirchment.

The poster was just speculating. Cops and investigators do the same thing. People are capable of anything, regardless of who they are, their position, or who they work for. Look at the crooks in D.C. with Harvard law degrees and wearing $500 suits. Who knows why this victim was targeted. It could have been totally random.

Many people do drugs to get through work - illegal drugs. FYI, it's a big problem all through the WORLD.

And though you don't seem to accept it, most people don't go through life with a chip on their shoulder against petrochemical workers. I have NEVER seen someone say, "yeah, he was a punk, probably one of those petrochemical workers," or "look at that lazy jerk, he's probably a petrochemical worker," or "yeah, typical petrochemical drug user."

NEVER.

In fact, such thoughts don't even come up, even once.

I'm telling you - that beheading thing? That decapitation thing? That body-with-no-HEAD thing? THAT'S THE STORY HERE.

There's lots of murders, no doubt even murders of petrochemical workers occasionally. But that is NOT the thing that makes this story stand out. In America, typically, heads don't go missing, okay? So when it happens, it's a really big deal.

And the fact that it happened to a petrochemical worker is NOT a slam against petrochemical workers, nor is any speculation on WHY it happened to a petrochemical worker. In fact, except for you, few people even care that it WAS a petrochemical worker - they care about the HEAD.
