No, you're the one trying to say my friends didn't get roofied and just drank too much. Who the fuck cares about "winning" arguments with such a clown take? You're just mad people see your nonsense for what it is.

You made a claim, I refuted it, with examples. That's how discourse works. Don't get your panties in a wad because people saw through your feeble attempt to make yourself look better.

In 1953 a dude got mad about his pet fish dying, and released a crate of cobras into the town. As one does. The entire town then proceeded to lose their shit and organize armed cobra hunting parties. And because it was the 50s and everyone was old-timey racist, they also hired an Indian snake charmer to drive around playing snake charming music.

Anyway they ended up beating all the cobras to death with garden hoes.

This sounds made up but I promise you it's entirely true.

My ex was roofied. I have a couple friends that have been as well, one a big dude. It's an entirely different sensation than just "being too drunk," and it happens way more often than people want to talk about.

Your comment is nothing more than victim-blaming, and your "disclaimer" at the beginning is disingenuous at best.

The article doesn't say but I'm wondering if this was the Price Cutter on Commercial.

Is this talking about the same event?

EDIT:

I'm sure it is the same event, both happened march 5th and what other grocery store with a deli counter is on commercial?

This is late but Springfield has some of my favorite restaurants of all the states I've lived. I really like FLAVOR.

​

  1. Cafe Cusco almost NEVER disappoints and the one time they did , a server hand delivered a complimentary item to my place of work when she was off the clock (s/o to Reana!) I love to try new things on this menu. My favorites are the Trout Salad, the Pollo con Rayas, the Wings and the Chocolate Torte for dessert.
  2. Zayka-my son loves this place and we never have to order much and are always full after like three bites lol.
  3. Lindberg's-My favorite burgers in Springfield and they had this bread pudding dessert for a while that seriously dangerous.
  4. Tea Bar & Bites for their baked goods, good god.
  5. Cesars-This place is still always packed after all these years. Last week I had two fajita style papusas and was floored.
  6. I'm surprised no one listed Flame...I love the ambience of this place and their bartenders have always been very willing to strike up a conversation. It's pricy so I stick to the appetizer menu and usually order the sliders and the fried portabellos.
  7. For sushi I'd go to Kai or Haruno....I've tried a few other places in town and been disappointed.
  8. Rama Thai's curries HIT.
  9. Still looking for really good pizza in Springfield but I'm picky about that anyway (I like Chicago style)

First off, I'm glad they are stepping up their vigilance to make sure that this doesn't happen, and I don't want my next comment to be interpreted as a reason to discount any claims that have been made.

That being said, I can't help but wonder how common roofies actually are vs people who are extremely sleep-debted, they have a big energy drink and then go out drinking without eating. That combo right there might as well be roofies for people who don't know when to stop. They will black out and not remember what happened.

"But I only had 3 drinks..."

Yes, with nothing to eat all day because you are watching your figure, the bartender gave you a generous pour, and you weigh 90 lbs. You are probably double the legal limit right now.

I think if people were more aware of how hard alcohol can hit you when you aren't really in a good position to be drinking, it could end up preventing a lot of very bad situations from happening.
