Title: Brothers in court over online drugs
Post by: croprotator on October 05, 2012, 01:34 pm
"Police have seized cannabis, ecstasy and speed bought from an underground website described as an "eBay for drugs" after two teenage brothers were allegedly caught importing the drugs to Esperance from Melbourne and Canada."

I think the biggest danger to to SR is kids. As soon as one them OD's and their purchase is linked to SR there will be a hell-storm of bad press, publicity attacks and general calls to shut it down pronto. Personally, I don't think kids should be consuming unregulated drugs (drugs are 'bad' m'kay!)

As someone else on another thread said - It's too bad we live in a world where responsible adults aren't "allowed" to get high. If we did this whole underground thing would be unnecessary and the whole process would be a lot safer - i.e. - no jackass kids.

Those kids were betrayed by their parents, who decided to have the criminal justice system raise them and do the job they themselves failed at. Shame on them.

If society had a mature way of dealing with narcotics, without prohibition or excessive taxation, we wouldn't need an anonymous marketplace. Then society could make sensible rules to prevent minors from obtaining narcotics.

But until that day, it's the law of the cryptographic jungle that rules.

i realise the parents probably had a heart attack but i still give them -1 karma for informing on them.
(i mean c'mon, at least send them to a drug education program or rehab before you call the cops for cripes sake! :-\)

the brothers should be old enough to know how to be careful. so i give them both -5 for getting them selves in the shit due to their cavalier attitudes that no doubt led to a failure in dilligent package receiving processes. ;) (i still feel for the cheeky scamps tho', we were all young & reckless at one point!)

be safe peeps
 ;)

im glad my mom doesnt fuck with my shit.

but seriously they didnt need to turn there own kids in, simply destroying the drugs and punishing/grounding them somehow would have been enough. this is gonna ruin it for us all

Thank God people like you wackmanblu exist here on the Forum. A Common sense view that I 100% agree with. Unfortunately, there are other threads on the same topic with people praising these two kids, calling them child proteges and Revolutionaries.

This is sadly, so true. Kid's and drugs are two words that I don't want to see in the same sentence. Once they turn 18, they have the rest of their lives to do as they please.  :)
