Recently an NBA player was arrested for Possession of Marijuana and having an open container of alcohol. According to this, the player's father just doesn't understand why people are bothered by this.

Really????

I realize that perhaps some people don't think that marijuana should be illegal, but the fact of the matter is that right now possession of marijuana is a criminal offense. So is standing on a street in Florida with a plastic cup of alcohol. And the fuss is due to the fact that like it or not, kids look up to his son as a role-model.

Next time, teach your son that if he must drink, he should do so indoors, where plastic cups are permitted, and not on the street--or better yet, buy a bottle since someone who gets paid a couple million dollars a year should be able to afford one of those.
