ldnguy Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) I'Ve been Rat-Araed loads of times, but I would never want to murder someone or even attacking them with a. Bottle.. ??? Alcohol affects different people in different ways. Some people get violent, while others don't. Possibly more than alcohol was involved.

alien365 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Now there's a charge to put you off stabbing your best friend to death, domestic violence under the influence. It's as if they're adopting the UK's judicial system.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyperdimension Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Possibly more than alcohol was involved. You are desparately trying to deflect blame onto other drugs when there is no such evidence. Ethanol is a harmful drug in comparison to many other drugs (including illegal ones) and its consumption can and does cause these kinds of tragic incidents. How differently would these incidents have been perceived and handled if the consumed drug was an illegal one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triplebank999 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Lets see the TAT SPIN on this Why should TAT have any interest in "spinning" a local's fight and an accidental drowning involving a local? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
