Thank you to those who helped to clarify a few things.
Michael Pedderson, you sir, seem a little offended. Sorry for your personal reason, whatever that may be. In the mean time, enlighten me if you will, since “NotaHuffer” has provided us with the lethal ingredients of compressed air, due tell then, WHY IN THE FUCK IS IT SOLD OVER THE COUNTER? I could theorize, that it would be perfect job security ploy for many Elite businesses and business persons involved, but I would rather not. So enlighten me please.
Just FYI…in the state of Washington public intoxication (drunk in public) is not illegal, it only becomes an issue when the intoxicated person is so f***ed up that they become a danger to themselves. i.e stumbling into traffic etc. However, huffing is illegal, see RCW 9.47A.020, if lewiscountyelites thinks inhaling benzine, butane or frog farts is cool, great more power to him…but it’s still illegal…because it can f***ing kill you. So I guess some of the dumbass sheep need intervention, others don’t and then there are others who just plain shouldn’t get it because their loss, well… just would be all that tragic…
I’m kind of with Lewis County Elites on this one…sort of. Public intoxication is against the law, and it sounds like this guy definitely filled that bill. But arrested for “inhaling toxic fumes?” Was that the actual charge?
I understand the cop might’ve felt he had to do something to save this guy from himself, but I have a problem with a law that can be applied so arbitrarily. Look at all the laws already on the books about smoking cigarettes (or “inhaling toxic fumes” to some) in public. Like those can’t be abused by some cop wanting to make a point?
Ruby…My guess is he’ll be charged with some kind of Public Nuisance violation, and plea it down to a misdemeanor. That’s if the Prosecutor files any charges at all.
J.Z. Thanks for pointing that out. After I read the article I was confused about why he was arrested for having a legal substance on him. I didn’t even think about him having an altered state in public. My mind went to the fact that it wasn’t a pipe or alcohol. I wonder what he will be charged with?
@lewiscountyElites…The issue isn’t how he got high, it’s that he was in an altered state in a public place, causing a disturbance. Alcohol is legal, but being drunk in public can get you in trouble with the law.
@lewiscountyElitesNotbetterthentherest:
The terms “compressed air” are misleading. The propellant in these air dusters, used to clean electronic components are fluorocarbons like 1,1-difluoroethane, 1,1,1-trifluoroethane, or 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane. They take the place of flammable hydrocarbons like butane, and can get you higher than a kite or kill you depending on which one you huff, and/or how much.
“Makes me angry that more and more every day…”
Then do something about it!
Write your State Representative and petition him/her to make changes to the laws you don’t agree with. It’s the State Government that makes laws, not Cops.
A 29 year old arrested for huffing!!!!! So fucking what! He wasn’t driving, he is clearly an adult and you can buy those cans of air almost everywhere, they are not illegal. I am not a huffer, never even tried it, not glue, gas not a huffer, but come on people this is ridiculous as far as to be arrested for it. If he takes a plea agreement then this stupid charge will make cans of air illegal. Fucking stupid!!! Makes me angry that more and more every day, people are letting Law Enforcement slowly strip us of our Freedoms. WAKE THE FUCK UP YOU SHEEPS! MAN!!!!!!!!!
A 29 year old male in possession of 15 year old neighbor’s underwear? Rapists stopped before he could progress to the actual violent act? More than likely. Sick stuff!
