It specifies that they were addicts in the article. In the original article (that's behind a paywall but I get access too, yay for universities) it says they met the criteria for cocaine abuse under DSM IV:

Depends how much of a distinction you want to draw between "concealed carry" and just "carry" permits. Also there's a strong possibility that the altercation would not have unfolded as it did if Martin knew Zimmerman had a gun.

He was shot by someone with a concealed weapon?

Patrice Lumumba ftw. The US endorsed his assassination for an interesting reason: when considering an assassination, governments try to predict who might replace the victim. Lumumba's brilliance made him,in their eyes, a ripe target for assassination because there was such a small chance of someone of his quality…

Why is it that every time someone does some research that provides information that directly benefits every day families, jezebel acts as if the researchers have just raided the pitchfork-cupboard, lit their torches, and hounded normal parents to their deaths for not caring enough? It's telling you something you can…

As much as I loathe Saudi Arabia (and am thrilled that the IOC finally put their foot down and threaten to bar them from the Olympics unless they allowed female athletes to enter, although they did manage to weasel out of it in a pathetic way), King Abdullah actually isn't the problem; it's the religious councils that…

In other news, Newton's laws of motion are wrong because, as basic observation tells us, a ball rolled along the floor eventually comes to a stop. Isn't it great that we can use common sense to figure things out and not have to waste any time with this science nonsense?

That is entirely a "guns don't kill people, people kill people" argument.

Whether or not seceding because the government no longer represents your interests is really an act of treason (and if it is, it doesn't seem to me (or Southerners) to matter at all), they don't feel that the Confederate flag represents the slavery aspect of the South, and they try to argue that the Civil War was…

Because the USA doesn't seem to care that for several decades, the IRA received funding and weapons in order to carry out atrocities against British civilians?

I've been writing my university final report and I'm sick of Elsevier's shitty website. If you're going to rip off my university, at least set your website up in such a way that it's easy and quick to use.

The reaction to men who harass women and paedophiles is quite different.

It's not entirely clear from the article how sure she is (or can be) that the person who sent her the picture wasn't using an assumed name. The original article says it's from "a stalker"; either they're using the word in a slightly unusual sense (as in, to refer to someone who only appears to have done one thing or…

Having spent a depressing hour not doing my university work and reading about shit online, I'm actually quite heartened by the presence of reasonable, non-misogynist men in the men's rights subreddit... which in itself is actually quite depressing.

I agree. Gender analysis of male-specific problems is done so, so much better by male feminists than men's rights activists.

Some dickheads tried a similar thing in the UK a while ago.

How about everyone stops using "crazy" as a pejorative and a reason to not deal with someone? You know, the same way you wouldn't refer to someone in a wheelchair as "a cripple" and use that as a reason not to deal with them?

Steve Harvey thinks women shouldn't date atheists and a film based on a book he wrote features Chris Brown and is still top of the box office? Stay classy America.
