    Ew! Crazy drug that is being used hardcore in Russia that basically rots your body inside out. They use it because it is cheaper than heroin but has a similar high.

    That's crazy! How do people even come up what to put in drugs like this?
  • Carlos Villarreal on 15 Mar 13
     
    They know that the drug itself is literally eating away their body from the inside. Yet the addiction is so powerful that they'd rather keep injecting them self with it. It's much more addicting and powerful than heroine. Even though it's cheaper to make the affects are much worse.

    Maybe if all the people who do drugs take this drug, it will get rid of druggies altogether. Maybe it's not such a bad thing. Joking. But seriously, why do people do these things if they know it's bad for them?
  • Tori Caddell on 05 Apr 13
     
    Honestly, how do people come up with such drugs? Are they that desperate!?
  • Nicole Lee on 05 Apr 13
     
    This drug is disgusting. Why would people do this if they know what it is going to do to them? They are pretty much choosing to slowly kill themselves. They know people that have been on it longer and have seen the effects of it, but still choose to use the drug. I understand it is cheaper than heroin, which most of them were addicted to before this drug, but it is so much worse than heroin. Once they start the drug it takes over there lives, between cooking it and putting it in them. They don't get much sleep, if any at all because of it. I think of it as a form of suicide, pretty much.

  • Meghan Manifold on 25 Mar 13
     
    People like this don't do well in Prisons. He'll most likely have a very rough life where he's going, especially after what he has said. He'll "get what is coming for him" and I honestly feel no pity, even though I do believe he should be charged as an adult. This is disgusting. I would not have been able to rest easy if I were in that court knowing the guy is in jail after what he had done, let alone what he had said, he deserves way worse than what he got. He obviously took pleasure in killing those innocent students. Good luck in prison, mate, because you are certainly going to need it if you don't want to end up as cold as those concrete walls you'll be surrounded by. Either that or he'll end up as Big Jerry's finger puppet.
  • Kayla Beck on 26 Mar 13
     
    The death sentence would be an easy way out for him. Spending your entire life rotting away in jail having your actions hung over your head is a much better punishment in my opinion. Not to mention, killing someone else will not bring your loved ones back or make you feel better, at least it shouldn't anyway. I read a story about a woman's 6 year old daughter who had been kidnapped and murdered,but she did not wish to have the man killed, because she said, "How do I honor Susie and Susie's life and the goodness and sweetness and beauty of who she was? To kill somebody in her name would be an insult to her memory." I'm not saying anyone is wrong, I just think life sentence without parole is a better option.

  • Bryan Pregon on 25 Mar 13
     
    This is called at-will-employment (you can be fired for any reason except if you are a protected minority class (which sexual orientation is not considered in most states). Seems strange that a boss can fire you "at will" but the logic is that you could quit "at will" so it is equal in that way. There was a case recently of a dentist who fired his assistant because she was too attractive and his wife was afraid it would strain their marriage. He won.

    (CNN) -- Punxsutawney Phil lied. That's what a prosecutor in Ohio says. He has filed a criminal "indictment" against the famed groundhog, who, year for year on February 2, emerges from his burrow at Gobbler's Knob to predict whether spring will come early or winter will linger.

Girl "Raped" at After Game Parties.. Should Boys be Charged? - 1 views

    The eye witness admitted to sharing a bottle of vodka with the girl. If she allowed herself to get so sloppy drunk, especially at the age of 16, then how are people suppose to feel bad for her? I mean i'm not saying that getting "raped" is ever okay but I'm sure the boys were impaired as well and neither parties really knew what was going on. Another thing I would like to point out is, how does this girl just happen to show up at MULTIPLE parties with these guys?
  • ...13 more comments...
  • Kayla Beck on 14 Mar 13
     
    To me, the boys definitely should have to face the consequences of their actions, for taking advantage of a girl the way they did, but she had every intention to go to that party to drink. How do you not expect to be taken advantage of at a party when you're a drunk teenage girl? Going to the party in the first place was irresponsible and not safe on her part, because anyone will take advantage of a girl too drunk to say no. Her "friend" should have made sure she did not go to the house with those two boys anyway.
  • jalitz336 on 14 Mar 13
     
    The guys who did that should be charged, maybe 90 + but the girls "victim" should also be charged for drinking under age. The person who gave her the vodka should be charged for distributing to minors
  • cbonar311 on 14 Mar 13
     
    Those two guys should have to serve time in prison, rape is a serious crime. They were super cruel!!!
  • Alex Barrett on 15 Mar 13
     
    To me it seems like she is saying she was raped to help her image. She might not of wanted to do what she did when she was sober, but since she was drunk her mindset could have changed completely
  • madacyn on 15 Mar 13
     
    I think all three of them should be punished. They were all drinking way too much and did it to themselves. Although I do think the boys should be in more trouble than the girl because rape is worse than drinking.
  • Bryan Pregon on 15 Mar 13
     
    I feel that this case is a good reminder that there are "natural consequences" for our behavior. These are separate from the legal consequences that so many people argue over. I think that anyone should expect bad things to happen when they put themselves in these situations, but that doesn't mean they "deserve it". In my eyes the legal consequences are clear; anytime you have sex with a person who doesn't know what's happening, you are committing rape. Period.
  • jalitz336 on 15 Mar 13
     
    It was her fault that she was drinking, and if it was a "rape" at a party. Someone would have heard or saw i think she just did something she regretted and now shes saying that she got raped.
  • Nina Crochet on 15 Mar 13
     
    I think that it was partially her fault for putting herself in that situation, but if she shared a bottle of vodka and was that so drunk, than how does she actually know if she was raped? Plus she showed up at other parties with these boys when they all knew what would happen at each party when they drank. This is why there is an age limit to drinking, and minors should not drink.

    They should be punished. But the girl should also receive a punishment for she was drinking underage and she should have been conscious of how much she drank. None of them should really be considered "victims" in my opinion
  • courtney wilson on 20 Mar 13
     
    well my opinion is that the boy shouldnt be the only charged with a crime. Multiple people should be charged for different crimes.
  • amandacombs on 20 Mar 13
     
    Okay, here's my perspective on this. The girl obviously decided to party with them at multiple parties with them multiple times. if she chose to drink that much alcohol and get drunk to where she didn't know what was going on, then that's her own fault. But they boys also should not have taken advantage of the girl. But her choice had bad consequences.
  • Bryan Pregon on 20 Mar 13
     
    Even more people may end up being charged with this crime: http://www.hlntv.com/article/2013/03/18/steubenville-rape-investigation-isnt-finished
  • Tori Caddell on 22 Mar 13
     
    If the girl has party with the boys before, and probably then, got stupid drunk, then what would urge the oys to "take advantage" of her this time, as opposed to all the other times? It does not make sense. Plus, she is only sixteen, so it is more her fault that she even allowed herself to go to parties, knowing everything that could, or may happen.

I also don't feel it was necessarily a hate crime either. I feel that the driver just wanted to hit that person, no reason behind why. I think that they tried to make it seem like a racist hate crime to make the story more interesting or something. And if it truly was a hate crime, then that is a shame. I guess some people may not ever be able to accept others.
