There have been less than flattering things posted about the Yates family. Similarly, immediately after the Columbine massacre, before the hagiographers got started, there were stories of jocks running rampant, and having the school staff look the other way, if not encourage them, as they assaulted the more bookish kids there.
IMO the drugs do, sometimes, cause problems, but these can't be examined and addressed until common sense solutions are required before drugs are used to blunt the emotions of the disaffected.
