Marijuana Kills

[redshirt27se]

the cops simply gave her the option; she is the one who chose to do it.

i realize that. it was dumb for her to accept, and it was equally stupid for them to offer it to her.


if i sell yay and guns, and some random chick approaches me to buy both, i'm going to immediately assume she is a snitch.

still... i don't understand the outpouring of sympathy here...especially from lestat

lestat, how would you feel if she got busted but told the police you were holding some weed just so she could get off?

I would think she was a bitch!

I wouldn't want to kill her though.

She didn't snitch out some small time pot user though, she was coerced into trying to land some hardcore coke dealers.

I doubt there was anything "simple" about the offer bro. They probably told her the maximum penalties she faced and that cooperating would make all her troubles go away. Do you really think they mentioned that she could be killed or that cooperation would put her life at risk?

Lestat, the powers that be have heard your cry.

Do you really think she was dumb enough to not know that buying blow and guns isn't safe?

I can only speculate, but I would imagine the police said "we'll be right there in case anything goes wrong, at the first sign of trouble we'll bust in there... blah blah blah"

I'm sure this happens with every informant. She panicked and was doing what she wanted to do. She was going to set up coke and gun dealers to try to save her skin. She knew the risk. I also don't buy the whole cops denying her counsel. They probably just acted like it'd complicate things and would only make things worse for her as far as the charges went. Cops always do that. It's the same thing as when they ask you if you have shit in the car that you shouldn't. If you say no and they find it, they'll throw the book at you. She knew how much trouble she was in, we don't. It just didn't turn out so well.

I guess its the "how much trouble" she was in that I take issue with.

To me this is like taking a speeder or jay walker and putting their life at risk to avoid some punishment for a non violent and victimless crime.

I don't absolve her of any blame, but the point is, she's not alive now to take the blame.

Well bro, she was a repeat drug offender that was caught with pot and extacy. The fact that some people don't agree with our controlled substance laws doesn't make her actions legal.
