Some of you may have heard that near Chippewa Falls, WI a pickup truck drove across a roadway oncoming lane and into the opposite ditch, plowing through a Girl Scout Troop which were picking up trash, before leaving the scene.
One adult woman and 4 young Girl Scouts were killed. Another Girl Scout was in critical condition.

Today news reported the 23 year old driver admitted he was huffing just before this killing.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Forgot to mention they were all wearing bright green Hi-Vis Vests. Not that it really matters.

Maybe they should just legalize weed finally so this type of shit doesn't happen anymore.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Your argument is that legalizing weed will end abuse of illicit drugs, and/or will restore sanity and reason among the drug-addled criminal populace?

No. My argument is that if weed were legal and cheap and as easy to get as cigarettes and booze are, then you wouldn't be as likely to have idiots huffing paint and glue to take the edge off.

Yep, Laws should be revamped to accommodate the idiots of the world.
The Founding Fathers could be so proud of our "progress"

Weed attained the status it has today under the controlled substances act, signed into law by Nixon and effective May 1, 1971. I don't think the Founding Fathers cared much about it in their day.

But the US does have a big problem with drug use overall. For example, the US is ranked third in opiate use in the world, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_prevalence_of_opiat
es_use

has really drunk and drugged teens compared to Europe http://monitoringthefuture.org/pressreleases/16ESPADpr.pdf
the highest level of weed use compared to the EU, Australia, Canada, and the global average https://www.unodc.org/wdr2017/field/WDR_2017_presentation_lauch_versio
n.pdf
...

... there wouldn't be gangs around the planet jonesing to get their product to the US market if we weren't such gosh darn good customers.

That is indeed sad news. That driver deserves the death penalty for reckless indifference.

US also ranked 5th in Cocaine usage, behind England, Wales, Spain, Scotland.

As if this wasn't bad enough.

That was on the far west side of Wisconsin.
Green Bay is on the eastern edge of Wisconsin.

On the news tonight: the Green Bay Chapter of Girl Scouts, in the Great Lakes Council, is running a scam around this tragedy. They are running a fund-raising effort with this tragedy as the stated beneficiary. But they are only keeping all funds for themselves, and not allowing any funds raised to be sent to any of the families of the dead or injured Girl Scouts. The money will be used for salaries, administrative costs, and bonuses.
The local Group Leader (Liz Steffel) refused to lie to her 56 Scouts about where the money would go. The Chapter demanded she lie and tell the Scouts that the funds would go to the victims, although none would, otherwise they would fire her. They fired her.

The Great Lakes Council of Girl Scouts must be the worst in the nation. I have bought about $100 per year of cookies, but I check which group they are with first. I won't buy from The Blackhawks.

Girl Scouts running a scam. I wish I could say I was surprised.
