How did you come to that conclusion?
They mean he set up the drugs to report and create some kind of spectacle, instead of adding them to drug the grandkids.
Intended to drug the ice cream, didn't intend to let the grandkids consume the ice cream.
Yeah about that, why not drug his own ice-cream or coffee, he'd be sure he could cause a ruckuss then. Now he planned to drug kids, "hoping" they'd notice it and taking the risk they wouldn't.
It's all very fishy.
He has to frame it to SAVE THE CHILDREN or some such.
Um ya, I dont buy that story at all
I certainly wouldn't trust him either, but fact is, he told the cops about the drugs he planted.
He could've just not done that, or drugged ice cream from a tub at home, or told the kids they're sprinkles or something.
To be its pretty clear that he didn't intend to directly harm the kids, and was "just" willing to put them into a stressful situation where an accident could have resulted in harm, anyway.
