Police say 2 killed in N. Ind. drug dispute

Just another example of how our current drug laws can turn something as innocent as a natural plant into a catalyst for murder. If marijuana was legal as it should be these kids would still be alive today, the kid would have just grown his own or bought some cheaply at the local store. Its so sad that the feds care more about their share of the money than they do their own citizens lives. But I guess as long as they can convince us that marijuana is evil they will still be able to justify the billions of American citizen generated tax dollars they allocate to their own budgets. How thoughtful of them

The only reason marijuana is worth so much money is because of the legal risk involved, it is our own laws that create the value of crime. When will we wake up as a society and realize we can not control everything,it simple does not work that way. What will the federal gov. decide that people are not allowed to use next, sunshine?
More and more people are turning against law enforcement because they are being used to control personal choice, and that is a recipe for disaster.

It makes me cry when young people die over something that could have been avoided. There are talks and conversation going on right now around the nation about marijuana being less harmful than both alcohol and cigarettes and its being considered for legalization in California because the latest poll shows majority support. So why is it still illegal, why are we not changing the failed laws? Are we waiting for more deaths and more prison sentences that tax payers pay for? The longer we wait the more harm we do and the more death we obviously condone. This makes me sick to my stomach!!!

If weed was legal this wouldn't of happened. Its as simple as that. So whats worse, the weed or the laws against it? I can say I have never herd of weed killing anyone, but I have heard plenty of people being killed because of the laws.

Legalize and all this would not be taking place! I see some damn good folks getting put away for a joint? Welcome to America the land of the FREE!

Rest in peace to jason and shawn but cindy is right if the government were not so strict on the marijuana plicy this wouldnt have happened I would think that there are far bigger fish to fry than busting someone for weed it has come to be something no one ever would have thought if you knew these guys you would have known that they were very good friends and not enimies as this makes them appear it was just another drug deal gone bad god bless family and friends of the men in this dispute and if it were legal it wouldnt have been a problem as it has gotten to be all the time RIP JASON M SMITH & SHAWN ZIMMERMAN

Give me a break. Alcohol is legal and people still steal it and get the shit beat out of them & yes, even killed. Everyone has to have some one to blame for everything.

Two less druggies around. Parents were probable druggies too. They should of taught their children better.

weather it is legal or not there are bounderies and people should know them. it's a shame there had to be deaths over something so miner. our laws are not to blame for this if someone is willing to kill over stupid shit they will kill anyways

Yeah, they should have taught them to be "legal" druggies and thieves like Insurance agents, Doctors, Lawyers and Politicians. I'm sure the world would have been a better place. DUH!

I agree, but you have to admit that we do have some retarded laws around here. We are still expected to live by laws from 30-100 years ago?

Legal doesn't mean honorable in my book, just legal! We really need to put them all in the same category, a thief is a thief and a liar is a liar.

Welcome to land that allows you to THINK that you are free until you face a wacko conservative Judge!
