Um....Wrong Drug
- West Side man gets two years for 2-year-old boy's fatal meth poisoning
Leaving aside the fact that two-years for the death of a toddler is ridiculous, the article then goes on to show how clueless the writers at the Times are:
- A West Side man was sentenced to two years in prison Thursday for endangering the life of a 2-year-old boy who died from methadone poisoning while under his care last year.
Reginal Z. Brown, 37, was sentenced two years in prison by Judge Stanley Sacks after pleading guilty to one count of endangering the life of a child, according to Cook County court records.
Evidently, no one at the Sun Times ever saw an episode of Breaking Bad. "Meth" is not methadone. Not the same class, not the same effects, not even the same targeted group of users. But hey, the media is known for layers and layers of fact checking.

The writer must have gotten his start as a writer for Yahoo.
It's just a case of confusion, and that is rampant. For instance, my favorite blogger just confused the Scum Times with respectable journalism!
Sarcasm off! ;)
So the left leaning SlumTimes prints a story with a 'that's close enough' fact/truth check. Like 'Billary' once said, "What difference does it make?" PLEASE, nobody 'leak' to those same reporters that the biggest problem facing Chiraq is 'Gun' Violance. Their penchant for reporting accuracy would drive Wrigley out of business.
The reporters are not held accountable, so why bother to check facts.
He probably found it in the fridge. That's where you have to store your methadone.
JUST A CITIZEN SAYS: Does anyone else ever wonder how these idiots manage to drive, dress themselves, feed themselves and figure out a remote? There are zero brain cells being used by these so-called journalists, politicians, anyone in the media, etc.
AND HE GETS CREDIT FOR TIME SERVED!!!!! 247 days already served. Does he also get half time off for being a good prisoner?
Who the fuck writes our sentencing laws? And who the fuck sentences these assholes?
2 years in prison for essentially killing a 2 year old. Maybe the mom can open a go fund me site and go out and buy a car.
Guns are illegal to own for felons. You need proper training and a drivers license to drive. An electrician goes to school before he can start wiring up a house. And so on...
Why can't we make it illegal for people to have kids? Unless they get training and pass a test and are licensed.
Do you know what will help this problem? Lets release thousands of "non-violent" drug dealers. I am sure that they are all rehabilitated and will become productive hard working members of society.

It's a non violent crime, dealing Meth, you know. Two years = 5 weeks in PrizedWrinkle time.
Folks don't use methadone, they sell it on the skreets...juice n' beans, C'mon man !
Good reporting ended in the 70's. Now they are all in it for the glory. They all think they are going to be the next Woodward and Bernstein.
It used to be a calling. Now they think it's a path to fame and fortune.
Good catch. And it's not too surprising since The Sun-times spends more time kissing Gov. Rauner's ass than hiring qualified reporters with a solid grip on the language and how to proof-read it. (from Oct. 2014)

"Evidently, no one at the Sun Times ever saw an episode of Breaking Bad."
...or spent any time in downstate Illinois, or over in Missouri...
No work. Cars. Bikes. Weights. Tats. Meth.
Guys in camo with night vision, crawlin out to tap off a farmer's tank of ag ammonia he left out in the field overnight, then burning the s__t out of themselves sloshing it all over when they run back up to the section road...
This is dying off now, though, in the face of Mexican mass-production -- most God-awful impure blue toxic s__t you ever saw, but comin under the border through the El Chapo Railroad Tunnels while they are earnestly X-raying truckloads of lettuce up top...
Are you sure you guys are cops? It was methadone poisoning. Not street drug "meth". Two different things. Methadone is a synthetic drug that looks like kool aid which is why the kid probably drank it. You don't drink meth.

Are you sure you aren't a complete reading challenged moron? That was the point of the whole post - ripping the media for not fact-checking their story. Idiot
