New information has come out about the 29 year-old anti-ICE shooter (I will not name him). Shocker. He was a loser, pot-head.

This guy was, apparently, “all about the pot”, according to his former boss. He relocated from Texas to work at Golden Leaf Farm in Benton City, Washington to pick cannabis.

He was all about the weed. He wanted to be part of the scene. He lived in his car while he helped.”-Ryan Sanderson, Golden Leaf

And why wouldn’t he come to Washington? After all? We’ve got “the best weed in The United States“.

He would come to work. He didn’t say a whole lot. He wasn’t an exceptional worker by any stretch.”-Ryan Sanderson, Golden Leaf

Really? I’m SHOCKED. But, go on…

There are people who work, and there are people who go through the motions. He was one of those guys. He didn’t work that hard, probably because he was too high.”-Ryan Sanderson, Golden Leaf

So, the shooter basically drove to Washington to work for three weeks during the harvest because his supply in Texas ran out. He spent his paycheck funding one of the plethora of pot shops here in Washington, the spot with the “best weed in the States”, right, Jay Inslee?

To some, he was a just typical young guy who just “liked to smoke weed”.

There’s more to this story than he was a stoner and it obviously wasn’t all about the weed.

Sure, we’ll take this. But I will also leave this here. Sam’s story:

Sam started high school as a fairly good student with several friends. Over time he began using cannabis daily. He took it a variety of ways, first with friends at parties and then, more and more often, alone. His parents noticed increasingly odd behavior: He blocked the camera on his laptop and placed cardboard over the windows in his room. He stopped showering. He began refusing to go to school. Against Sam’s will, his parents took him to a rehab facility for teens. During the three-week program he was fully abstinent from cannabis, but, disturbingly, his psychotic symptoms got worse rather than better; simply stopping wasn’t enough for Sam to recover.

By the time his family came to my clinic, he had had persistent delusions for more than six months. Sam was fully convinced that the government was following him and constantly surveilling him. Although we don’t know whether cannabis caused Sam’s psychosis, it was striking that his symptoms didn’t go away when he stopped using. It is possible cannabis had altered his brain function.”–Carrie E. Bearden, Scientific American

Exhibit B:

Harvard Health:

The teenage brain is still a work in progress. Between the teen years and the mid-20s, areas of the brain responsible for judgment and problem solving are still making connections with the emotional centers of the brain. Smoking marijuana may derail this process and so increase a young person’s vulnerability to psychotic thinking.”-Ann MacDonald

What we’re seeing here is not just a young man with a drug addiction. We are seeing a system that supports this dysfunction and liberal-leaning states and their leaders, who fully embrace it. They want young men to be unmotivated, to lack drive, lifeless and passionless and it pisses me, as a mother off to no end. This system glamorizes and enables young men to light up before their frontal lobes are even fully developed and escape the grim realities of whatever victimhood the leaders choose to peddle. The Dallas ICE shooter didn’t just start smoking pot, he smoked for years. He lived for it. He was lost, adrift and still shacking up with his parents. By definition, he would be called a “loser”, a “slacker”. He stopped taking care of himself, he lacked motivation, except when the had a very brief delusion of grandeur to “give ICE agents real terror”. If that is not a psychotic, delusional episode, than I do not know what is.

Yes, the family seems wacky. And, we know the weed was. The anti-ICE shooter is a tragic story of a young, angry man adrift with no purpose, no motivation and nothing to really live for. All sponsored by the proud heroes of the left who want to bring you “the best weed in the United States”. So I ask, where is their responsibility in this horrific mess?
