  • You know the dealer, the dealer is a man
    With the love grass in his hand
    Oh but the pusher is a monster
    Good God, he's not a natural man
    The dealer for a nickel
    Lord, will sell you lots of sweet dreams
    Ah, but the pusher will ruin your body
    Lord, he'll leave your, he'll leave your mind to scream

    Jamia Hazel, 17, was stabbed more than two dozen times and dumped in the alleyway of the Mount Eden home of suspect Darrell Spencer, police sources said.

    He was charged with murder and weapons possession after another girlfriend, Erena Willis, 21, identified him as the killer and admitted helping him dump the body, sources said.

    Willis was charged with hindering prosecution.

    Sources said Spencer offered up a self-serving explanation. He told detectives Hazel tried to stab him after he accused her of "putting something" in his marijuana. He said he grabbed the knife and stabbed Hazel more than two dozen times.

    Cynthia Marshall, Hazel's foster mother, said the girl talked recently about wanting to turn her life around by getting a GED and studying to be an anesthesiologist.

    But Hazel couldn't break her bad habits, Marshall said, staying out past curfew, dating older men and spending too much time on the streets.

    "She was just the type of girl who would do whatever she wanted to do," Marshall said at the Bushwick home where Hazel lived for two months, before walking out in July. "It's just so much easier to do the wrong thing."

    Marshall said all she has left is a memory of the day the girl stormed from her home.

    "It's not you, it's me," Marshall remembers her foster daughter saying. "I'm just not used to people telling me what to do. I'm leaving. I'm out of here."

    Hazel was pretty, with a bubbly personality, her foster mom said, but was too flirtatious for her liking.

    On her MySpace page, Hazel described herself as 19 years old and is seen wearing a "I Recycle Men" T-shirt. She jokes about "taking boyfriend applications."

    "She was living dangerously," Marshall said.

  • kwac -- i think you're inadvertently backing up meredith's point. the above killing is the result of a domestic dispute with a guy who clearly has a lot more problems than casual pot use. nonetheless, if you believe the way to prevent domestic killings is to criminalize the drugs associated with them, then you'd better turn yourself in for that 40 ounce. when it comes to fueling domestic disputes, pot lags light-years behind alcohol.

    Maybe take it a step further. Since so much crime and violence is over money, we should definitely ban money!
  • when you give money to drug dealers, you are funding them and the people they got the drugs from. the higher you go up on the chain (yes, even the weed chain), the more murder and terror you will find. it's that simple. people dealing with millions of dollars of weed have guns and they kill people in their way.

    Yes. Those who support the drug war should stop causing this money to go to such evil people. They have a lot of blood on their hands.

    yes, and until the day the war on drugs ends, we (the consumers) can make a personal moral choice to not knowingly give our money to murderers.

    Nah. The culpability still lies with those who support the immoral drug war in any way, including enforcing the laws.

    Defying those laws is totally moral civil disobedience.

    haha, i like it!
  • Most disturbing thing about this thread is that a police officer is not even close to being able to spell "paraphernalia."

    why? they need to know how to find it and take it, not spell it.
  • Easy answer - sloppiness in written communication is a marker of sloppy thinking, a very dangerous failing in a poice officer,
  • that is sloppiness in spelling on a message board. i don't think bad spellers are necessarily bad thinkers.

  • So do people think that the fact that something is illegal is what makes it morally wrong?

    Do people think that because something is legal, it is inherently morally superior, justifiable and A-OK?

    It used to be legal in America to own other people. It used to be legal to by heroin at the corner store (in children's cough syrup). So while these things were legal they were ok?

    It used to be illegal for women to vote. So back when that was the case, you would have thought that women who wanted to vote were a problem, right? Because they wanted to do something that was illegal, they were likely morally bankrupt at some basic level?

    It seems to me that what is legal and what is moral are very different and using the law as the final arbiter of what is morally correct is pretty tough to do. Both laws and morals change over time and in different contexts and by acting as if either were an incontrovertible truth we do a disservice to ourselves and our society by stifling debate and clinging blindly to the status quo.
