Marathon Bomber Was Pot-Smoking Democrat
This is not a shock to me. Marijuana smokers are seven times more likely to suffer psychotic episodes and most of the recent violent crimes that garner national attention were committed by heavy pot smokers. Of course, marijuana legalization advocates will try to claim that marijuana is harmless and even good for you, and will discount any connection between the Marathon bomber and pot.
From the DC here:
Boston bombing suspect and fugitive Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was a “normal pot head” who supported President Obama for re-election last November, according to friends and his Twitter account.
Chris Barry, who attended the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth with Tsarnaev, described him as normal teenager who loved to smoke pot and cigarettes every day.
“He was a pot head, a normal pot head,” said Barry in an interview with Politico. “I couldn’t even imagine him being mad at someone let alone hurting someone.”
Tsarnaev, a Muslim, did not come across as strongly religious, said Barry.
“He never brought it up. It seemed like he could care less,” he said.
Tsarneav’s Twitter account provided clues about the suspected bomber’s political views. On November 6th, he retweeted several statements suggesting a preference for President Obama over Republican candidate Mitt Romney.
Why did I bother to go out of the way to mention this terrorist was a Democrat? Because I guarantee you that if he was a Tea Partier, the news would never stop talking about it.
