In a news article published by Democrat and Chronicle, a man was arrested because he shared some marijuana with some locals. A parent got bent out of shape about it and ratted the guy out, now he sits in jail on federal charges.

Now we really should take a look at this story. We have a guy that shared some marijuana, we have a dad that called the cops, and we have minors that smoked pot with the guy that shared some marijuana. We only have 1 person involved in this story in jail really and that is the giver of marijuana.

The Giver: I don’t have candy for you kids.
the kids return.
The Giver: Yall want to smoke a joint, I’m high and would like to share.
The Kids: Sure, we will smoke some pot with you.
The Dad: You smell like pot.
One Kid: It was such and such, and he made us.
The Dad: I’m going to call the cops.
The Cops: Your under arrest.
The Giver: I was taught to share with others.
The Cops: We don’t care, you shouldn’t share, but we will just take.

Now the cops did their job based on laws, right or wrong laws. The Dad has possibility done a piss poor job of raising his child if he didn’t want them to smoke pot. The children agreed to smoke pot with the giver of pot. The giver of pot shouldn’t have done it.

Why is it that only 1 person is in jail, not talking about the roommates that were arrested only the parties really involved? If the children smoked the pot, then they should be help on position charges. Each one should be held on charges to conspire to get the other children high. As well as the children were all guilty by association as they all willingly smoked the pot that was offered.

The dad should not have called the cops, he should have disciplined his child. If the child will just smoke pot from anyone then the child is not responsible. He should have taught his child that smoking with strangers is forbidden, and if the child was going to smoke pot, smoke with someone the child knew. The dad should be in jail for aiding and abetting, he helped his child and the other 3 children that were involved.

This would have everyone involved in jail, besides the cops of course. Minors didn’t go to jail because the child’s dad called the cops on the giver of pot. By the dad calling and turning the giver of pot in, he paid for his child’s freedom with someone else’s. The giver is pot put no harm toward any one, even if pot was harmful, the children put themselves in harms way. This is much like walking into a busy street and daring someone to hit you, then sewing them because you were stupid.

Now the dad feels good because his child is free, the child feels good because the child is free, and the giver of pot and bad because he shared pot with someone that willingly, knowingly, and freely took it. The freedom of the giver of pot, should not have been payment for someone else’s freedom. The dad should be charged with imprisonment of other by way of sacrifice.
