What trash! Simple as that. I grew up in CC and I'm so glad I got out ASAP. My folks live there and when I visit all I see is it sliding further down the drain. Maybe one day the good ole boys running the city will actually do something about it before drugs, violence and robbers take over. Drugs are a big problem in CC. I've seen many a kid I went to HS with addicted to drugs MUCH worse than weed and now that they are older they had to go reproduce, to ruin an innocent life.

Hey Sheep...uh, I mean Rick. You are sure passionate about this marijuana thing. You must be addicted! Cause if you werent, you wouldnt be so hell bent on it being okay. People like this couple are just trash. When you let a drug run your life like that...especially to the point where you cause harm to your children....you are trash! Hope you dont have any kids. They will just grow up to be addicted to pot....like dad.

He Rick, you may not be addicted to pot but you have a serious obsession with Sheep. Its time to grow up and move out of your moms basement, get a job and take your girlfriend to a petting zoo. In the long run its better for the both of ewe...

i used to smoke when i was younger,but there is a time for everything when you "grow up like normal people"you have kids and you raise them right.i quit smoking.the only bad habit i have is smoking cigs now. and like someone said its bad when you smoke with your kid in your car,i do NOT smoke with my 8 month old in my car with me nor do i smoke in the house.these people deserve to get the max but since i justice system seems to fail us when we really need it im sure they will get a slap on the wrist.these people are nothing but trash and like some dummy said the mother is nurturing mother.seriously are you that much of an idiot???no mother in their right mind would have their kid around this and allow it.

Look at all the SHEEP out there. Being led around by government lies. Marijuana has much more benefit than a lot of the medications that we take without having the side effects. The drug companies and law enforcement all have a HUGE stake in keeping marijuana illegal! What a bunch of SHEEP!! By the way, I've got some oceanfront property to sell you out in west Texas. (I figure since you all believe the corrupt government without question, maybe I can make something off of you too!)

I can't believe how much of a lack of parenting they really have. I don't even know how someone can get out on bond, there should be a child endangerment still. I hope they serve real time for this and never have their children again.

Hey rick from Axtell...pot IS addictive! Sure there are those who dont become addicted, just like there are those who drink but dont become alcoholics. Some can drink and smoke occasionally, while others cant leave it alone. Obviously these two are clearly dope heads and belong in the group that cant leave it alone. By the way, marijuana kills brain cells (which makes you stupid)and also can cause lung cancer, just like cigarettes. But, your not too smart to begin with if you do drugs. These two should not have children.

Did you know that if you ride in a car with someone just smoking cigarettes you will throw a positive on a swab test for nicotine? Imagine what this baby went threw.

@Rick...Responsible people do not break the law. If you choose to kill your brain cells, waste your money and break the law that is your business...I hope the law prevails. I DO know what I am talking about...I treat people like you everyday. I will continue to report irresponsible people like you.

There is a reason that drugs like marijuana are illegal. It makes you dumb and trashy...just like these two.

Is this the same couple who hit a deer on 190 in killeen last night while taking their daughter to the hospital after their pit bull attacked her? Just asking...
[ Report Abuse ]
