It's good that more people didn't die in this!

 

Yeah, I guess that is what synthetic Marijuana does.....A couple of people are in critical shape, i read somewhere.

 

Ninety-nine miles an hour! People were really fortunate.

I wouldn't be as quick as this news report to blame it on the synthetic marijuana. I'm sure plenty of people use it and don't do this. Like everything else, it was probably a collection of many factors that brought him to this act.

 

Yeah, probably, you are right about that. I did not know. I never tried synthetic Marijuana, so I don't know what it does really.

 

Neither have I.

 

The fist thing I thought of when I heard this story was how weird it was that the driver hit over twenty people and only one died. Very strange. You'd have to be going pretty slow, or even trying not to kill them, it seems. I mean, just saying, if I wanted to plow into a crowd with my car do as to inflict mass fatalities, say, a crowd of one hundred or do? I don't really see how I couldn't kill at least six, eight, ten or so.

So, one death? This story has to be filed under ....could been a lot worse!

 

The driver, Richard Rojas., a 26-year-old U.S. Navy veteran, told officers he was hearing voices and expected to die



Hotwater

 

No, no, no, no

Just another selfish fuckin c*** , who will now probably try use every excuse he can think of to get out of a life sentence


He didnt hear voices, it wasnt the synthetic pot....he was just a self centred, self absorbed fuckin c***

 

Tell us how you really feel.

 

I've tripped hard on synthetic pot and it literally scared me off it. I didn't just hear voices in my head, I saw the demons talking to and my missus was right there in the room and I was talking to them and her quite coherently. It didn't last long though just a really intense 15minutes. Was weird too, like I just snapped out of it quickly. Violently sick afterward though.

Can't defend a drugged driver at all, but I dunno, some of those synthetic strains are... interesting to say the least. If he'd been smoking the black widow I'd smoked, I'd believe he was hearing voices. :unsure:

 

LOL, me too

It was actually the Linda Blair Exorcist Pea Soup involuntary vomiting shortly afterwards that scared me off it for good. So you have to wonder about people that stay on it


Still, the drug defense aint going to work in a US court

 

I tripped once more on the stuff before throwing it out. It wasn't a trip but my heart was racing so fast it literally hurt.

Now to get me out of the trip on trip 1 I layed on my girls chest and listened to her heart beat. This synced my furiously racing heart back to hers and I came to.

On the second time again my heart races but so fast it literally hurt. Like I've never felt a burying heart before, but it hurt and scared me so much that again we synched our beat and I came back to normality.

I threw the rest out 20mins later.

Now previously I had smoked other synthetic stuff and found them to be the most enjoyable high I've ever had. Specifically this purple pineapple stuff. But not the black widow.

I only do freshly grown drugs now. =p

 

They are all the same guy though

18 to 35, lone loser types

Oh, I'm going to shhot some random guy in the street, or I'm going to mow down a bunch of pedestrians because I cant get a girlfriend or my girlfriend just broke up with me

 

how terrible. I feel really bad for her, and her friends/family.

 

another lesson on why not drive when high on drugs or alcohol. i always walk when flying high

 

I tried spice once, Ice diamond or something. Strong as fuck, thought I was going to have a seizure. Couldn't move for about an hour, cold sweats and extreme paranoia.

Didn't make me want to drive a car into a street full of pedestrians though.

 

This seems to be trending lately. What is up with that?

 

copycatting

 

Mental illness is often far more complex than that.

And the driver was a combat veteran. He might've been suffering from PTSD.

You're conflicted.

You stick up for that rude whiny kid who insulted and attacked elderly combat veteran just because he was denied disability checks for his alleged PTSD from sexual trauma.

But now you totally fail to consider clinical psychological illness and call the Times Square suspect a loser who can't get a girlfriend.

You also falsely accused me of violating forum rules. After you knew I was a vet too.

Are you for some reason prejudiced against vets?

If so, please tell me why.

Man up and be honest.

I'm pretty much daring you.

You're beginning to annoy me.
