He doesn’t look like a golfer to me.
Why was there a 22 year old involved here? Was she a relative too?
The drug free school zone is a NAZI tactic the police goons use to suck someone in anywhere within miles of a school. The drug free school zone should only apply if school is in session and they are in plain site of kids. Many teenagers have had their lives ruined by being caught with a joint in a car near a school. More NAZI Goon squad crap from our new Police State America
What’s wrong with people these days? Doctor’s shouldn’t just be giving this medicine to just anyone. I had a neighbor once that got pain medicine and wasn’t even really in need of them, he wanted them to sell so he could ‘pay his rent’ when he got caught that’s exactly what he told… he was trying to keep from falling behind on his rent.
Needless to say… he has a hard time now when he gets sick and has to go to the doctor for medicine. It’s just crazy.
Old, young, middle aged…seems like every age group is involved these days…..
