People aren't reading the article. He both put the pills in the ice cream and reported them to police. He was trying to implicate Dairy Queen or one of their workers in a crime.
I swear to god Republicans are wasting their talents on politics. They have such amazing imaginations. they should be writers or artists or something. like I highly doubt any of us would think "fuck Dairy Queen, I hate Dairy Queen. I know! i'll go buy some MDMA and Cocaine and then plant it in their Ice Cream..that'll show them!"
or Jewish Space Lasers. or Flat Earths. or any of that. Sure DiscWorld exists but wouldn't you want to watch a movie about Jewish Space Lasers? ....oh right Spaceballs.
Ok maybe Republicans aren't talented they just rip off other peoples ideas.
Ever wonder why they scream "false flag" or "fed" every time some nazi POS makes them look bad by agreeing with them in public?
It's because they pull shit like this and expect everyone else to as well.
Yep, it's always projection. They only know how they act so they assume everyone else would act the same way.
It's wild how they scream and cry about the "10 commandments" but have zero hesitation breaking any and all of those commandments in the most blatant and direct ways imaginable.
"Do not put ecstasy and cocaine in thy granddaughter's ice cream" must have been on the tablet Moses dropped.
I'm pretty sure this would fall under bear false witness.
Obviously that would cover the lying part, but not the part about giving drugs to children in the first place. Also, my comment was an obvious joke?
The article says that he did both of those things, but it isn't clear on what happened between those two events. Did he put the pills in and go straight to the cops? Did he give the ice cream to the kids? Were the pills clearly visible or were they buried?
I agree that the most likely explanation is that he was trying to create a story and/or attack DQ and its employees. But it isn't totally implausible that he might have been trying to drug the kids and pivoted when they found the pills. He has to be an idiot either way, they are both terrible plans.
No, they're really not both equally dumb plans. In one he got found out because there was video surveillance he didn't expect. In the other he may have had a double homicide on his hands because he tried to do something untoward with drugs that aren't stealthy in ice cream and don't facilitate it, and instead of making up some lie so the girls don't tell anyone about the failed pill plan, he escalates it straight to the police.
This isn't a complicated mystery.
So where did he get the drugs?
I didn't say they were equally stupid. I said one explanation was most likely correct, but thr other wasn't completely implausible.
Yes, faking an attempted drugging for attention/politics/whatever is less likely to get someone killed. But it's so a really fucking stupid plan that had to actually be completely premeditated. Just look how well it worked out for him.
The potential child abuse plan is monstrous and risks killing them, but pedophiles do risky and horrible things all the time. And at least the part of the plan that involves showing the cops the drugs can be seen as a bad decision made in the moment by someone panicking and not thinking clearly.
People don't read anything but the headline before spouting off whatever comes into their head.
I sometimes wish people were required to answer a few questions about the article before they could comment. We'd have fewer comments, but would we be missing anything of value?
