Tire Slasher Arrested in 5 Points Shopping Center

Where insurance?

Fernald : He most likely never HAD a brain.
Weed is known to fry whatever excuse you have for a "brain" after a while ...

FOND - where does it say he was high on "weed?"

I concur with Detective FondOfSB, this has all the makings of the Reefer Madness. How are upstanding citizens supposed to sleep at night knowing raving lunatics are injecting the devil lettuce and ordering an XL stuffed crust pepperoni pizza and BBQ wings from the Milpas Little Caesar's? Someone needs to stop them!

@CHILLINGRILLIN Best reply ever! Watch out for those crazy hippie stoners.

Sac : You're not born with this much craziness. It happened from what he consumed. Keep defending those creeps. One day it'll happen to you ..

Could have been agitated with alcohol or any other drug. Who knows--

FOND - I never said weed can't make you a little nutty if you already have underlying issues and smoke it all day every day. Again though, where does it say he consumned anything, much less "weed?"

Odd you accuse me of "defending" him while at the same time completely make up a scenario that has zero basis in the given facts that you now think I'm defending him against. Talk about craziness..... lol keep on with the delusions!

Fond - and what DID this suspect, consume, exactly? I'd like to know where to get your all-knowing insight into this. L O L . I don't think I've ever known anyone to partake in cannabis and then think "hey, what a good day it is to go out and slash tires". Nice try tho.

Sac : You're the one deluding yourself.
Try to understand what I write : to get to this level of craziness you have to have shot your brain with too much weed, drug or whatever else.
But keep glorifying this drug addicted society : in 10 or 20 years you'll have a whole generation of brain fried people

From this example, it looks like someone can reach that level of craziness merely by making speculative comments online, and then getting too invested in it.

FOND - that's not true at all. I've read of people doing crazier things than slashing tires here and not being drug addicts. You have little to no understanding (or compassion) for mental illness and addiction. You can have one without the other and both can be devastating.

Now, again, where does it say he consumed anything?

He self corrected on the "driving around in that mental state" by slashing his own tires.
Probably mentally ill, most likely self medicating. Hopefully he will get the help he needs before he, heaven forfend, attacks a Tesla

Sorry to burst the stoner bubble of rationalization, but marijuana use has serious deleterious effects on the mental health of anyone already prone to schizophrenia, especially younger people.

Yes, any mind altering substance, alcohol included, can be an issue with people with schizophrenia. Not the same as saying smoking cannabis will cause it, or any other serious and debilitating mental health issues that weren't already there. Triggering present conditions and causing them to exist are very different.

What part of "prone to" was unclear? Cannabis usage may trigger a latent condition that would have otherwise not manifested.

5:38 - What part of "people with schizophrenia" and "triggering present conditions" was unclear? It was perfectly clear, hence my response being phrased the way it was. Did you even read my comment?

"Prone to" is not equivalent to "have" or "present" in most vocabularies.

Prone - likely to or liable to suffer from, do,

Have, present - meaning the condition is present, as in someone with latent schizophrenia. Pretty similar.

Show me the study that says cannabis CAUSES this condition.

Again, show us the study that proves cannabis can cause schizophrenia.

Latent: present and capable of emerging or developing but not now visible, obvious, active, or symptomatic -- https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/latent

Explain to me how latent schizophrenia ("present.....but not now...active") is different from having it. PRESENT means it exists. Existing means you have it. Again, which is why I said "triggering present conditions" in my original post.

Relevant quote:

"Several studies have linked marijuana use to increased risk for psychiatric disorders, including psychosis (schizophrenia), depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders, but whether and to what extent it actually causes these conditions is not always easy to determine. Recent research suggests that smoking high-potency marijuana every day could increase the chances of developing psychosis by nearly five times compared to people who have never used marijuana. The amount of drug used, the age at first use, and genetic vulnerability have all been shown to influence this relationship. The strongest evidence to date concerns links between marijuana use and psychiatric disorders in those with a preexisting genetic or other vulnerability."

Cannabis use and schizophrenia:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7442038/

"but whether and to what extent it actually causes these conditions is not always easy to determine"

"The strongest evidence to date concerns links between marijuana use and psychiatric disorders in those with a preexisting genetic or other vulnerability."" - As in "prone" or already having the disease "present."

"We have evidence suggesting that cannabis use, primarily THC in cannabis, in genetically predisposed or at-risk populations, leads to earlier diagnosis of psychosis/schizophrenia." - Again, prone or latent or present or whatever helps you sleep at night.

This study does not prove that cannabis use CAUSES schizophrenia.

BASIC - exactly. But, maybe the 1-5 was due to him suggesting this is just an SB problem. It's not.

BASIC - he said what he said. I only tried to offer an explanation for the 1-5 count you brought up. Take it as you want, as well as your "tip."

I'm having a time following this "Discussion"? at first I ASSumed there was some sort of "weird consensus" as to there being some sort of "Weed-induced Tire Slasher" out there? So obviously took it to be humor, but now I'm not sure what happened? (as I kept chuckling to myself thinking some think it's true?)
Whatever the case, I also hope he's provided the assistance he obviously needs...

BICYCLIST - no consensus at all that this was weed induced thank goodness! And you know how these things go.... devolving into side topics/arguments and I'm guilty as charged for contributing to that ;)

sacjon - the comment was not intended at you, it only took 25mins. to complete that comment obviously too slow!
Weed-induced Tire Slasher™ (fixed that)
