That's hilarious... reporting that he was a victim of a crime while attempting to engage in criminal activity. Perhaps the young man should chalk it up as a lesson learned and leave it alone.

Wow! And it wasn't even dark yet. I guess time doesn't matter, when one is addicted.

I don't suppose anyone has a statistic on drug use and those tthat don't steal? Because i am shocked, shocked at the treatment this 'client' received. I guess the days when repeat customers used to mean something to a dealer are gone...

People who use drugs and who dont steal are not a danger to society. People who use a gun to rob others ARE! As far ar charging this person with "attempted possesion"... Are you that concerned with what someone else does with their own body, that you would want to waste thousands of dollars to prosecute and jail someone? Unbelievable!

except when they are behind the wheel of a car or freakin out on meth, etc... they may not be "stealing" but still pose a threat...
