Fox News: COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. —  A 15-year-old Colorado Springs boy has been arrested for allegedly assaulting his mother after she discovered his stash of marijuana. Police say the boy hit, kicked and choked the woman at their home Sunday afternoon until she lost consciousness. Family members took her to Memorial Hospital, where she was treated and later released.

What's going on here? Colorado parents actually try to catch their kids with pot? I thought that was a perk of living out there, if it grows out of the ground you can smoke it. So maybe some of the parents hold to traditional values. This kid needs to down shift and take a deep breath. You got caught smoking a joint so you try to kill your mother? That's just not cool man. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I think 89% of teenagers get caught blazing by their parents. It's not big deal. Take the few weeks banned to your room where you can chat online, play Xbox, and yes, continue to smoke joints. Then you learn from your mistakes. Like, maybe not leave your stash on your nightstand when you come home wasted at night and sleep through your mom walking in your room at 1 in the afternoon to check on you because you're still sleeping. Am I projecting here? I think I'm projecting. Let's really think about this, he obviously wasn't high when he freaked out. No stoner is motivated enough to kill someone. So he was probably stone cold sober. What kind of punishment do you think she was trying to implement here? 700 lashings? The only rational thing I could think of is that he got home after a stressful day of being taught how America is the worst place on the planet (this is Colorado after all), and all he wanted to do was unwind with a spliffer. What happens? He finds out his mom stole his stash! (This is Colorado after all). Sometimes you got to put people in line when they steal your stash, I don't doubt that, but come on kid, that's your mom. Sharing is caring.
