Everything is being misunderstood. They're in trouble for drug use and allowing underage consumption. They aren't getting in trouble for Douglas' death.

I don't see a post that makes this assumption.

Charging these kids is ridiculous IMO. Aaron was an adult and had a history of problems, so pinning what happened to him on them is crazy.

Typical knee jerk reaction from authorities. Somebody must pay for another decision made by an adult to appease the angry public mob.

Dont like when they charge people for something that is ultimately due to decisions made by someone else, AD in this case.

i know i am in the minority on this one, but charging 4, 23 and under people and putting them in jail ain't the answer.

All of these read as if the poster believes they are being held responsible for the death of Aaron Douglas.

Perhaps it's time for you to take a class on reading comprehension.

That's a sentence fragment from only one of the posts you quoted. The rest are a blind, crusse's opinion blows, special.

If you are against going after people who sell drugs in the case where someone overdoses and dies, then they should just legalize them all together. To me that's the only arguement I've ever heard from that camp that made any sense as far as making drugs illegal.

I'm kind of on the fence, but I think would just prefer they were legalized. People are going to use them regardless if they are legal or not, and your not going to be able to prevent this kind of tragedy, even when they are illegal.

I started this thread. I believe that know one should get punish for your action....Quoted from my grandmother who's gone away . "When you make your bed hard, you the only one have to lay in it"

They were arrested for their own actions: which apparently included providing alcohol to minors, which is illegal. And I can think of several times when it is legally justifiable to be charged for the actions/decisions of another. Culpability will hinge on (a) whether what you provided was legal/illegal and (b) whether the decision was made by someone that had the mental capacity to judge for themselves (see statutory rape).

If anyone provides drugs that contribute to someone's death, they should be charged. Period. It's little different than handing a loaded weapon to someone you know will misuse it, and then they kill themselves or someone else. "Not my responsibility" is not an acceptable answer.

This in no way negates AD's responsibility in his own death. No one forced him to toke/shoot/snort-- whatever... But responsibility is not an either/or proposition. Selling or giving a deadly and illegal substance to someone who has a history of addiction and bad decisions based around that illegal and deadly substance, makes you partially culpable.

You guys are acting like those people didn't do anything illegal. So this is the one time we should look the other way?

sure I did and you also stated someone else is partly responsible for his death. They aren't

Really? Aaron Douglas wouldn't still be alive if someone had not irresponsibly and illegally provided him the deadly, illegal substances that were found in his system?

I stand corrected... :eek:k:

If someone refused to sell to him, he would have bought somewhere else. It is his own fault.

All that would have done would be to push the illegal/irresponsible actions onto someone else. I repeat, I am not denying AD's personal responsibility. I am, however, asking a question that should be answered.

Would AD still be alive if someone had not provided the fatal concoction that was found in his system?

By your logic, there shouldn't be pharmacists, since people should be able to mix anything they want to and take any chance they want to since they will only have to pay for their own mistakes. Instead, our society feels that responsible professionals who have detailed understandings of how drugs interact together should be able to administer these dangerous drugs.

If you practiced medicine or acted as a pharmacist without the knowledge or license to do so, and someone died because of your actions, would you still be innocent morally, ethically and legally?

That's a big, fat, "No." Tell me why we should treat drug dealers better?

I'm not trying to be a jerk. I just can't possibly imagine how someone committing an illegal act that contributed to a person's death can be viewed as OK...

At no point does the above post come even remotely close to articulating anything that could even be loosely analogized to a rational, coherent thought. We are all much much dumber for having read it.
