“But Pot Doesn’t Hurt Anyone!” Part II: Dead Baby Edition

Posted on by

Ashley Lorene Parnell was a happy go lucky, if immature, 25 year old if one were to judge by the pictures she posted of herself on her MySpace page. A smiling, rubinesque girl who seemed to be well liked, especially by her boyfriend Robert Roininen with whom she shared a dwelling. Her one main vice seemed to have been smoking pot, what many people would see as a harmless habit that she would hopefully outgrow.

But for Robert Roininen’s 23 month old son Skylar Ashley’s sobriety didn’t come fast enough:

Tulsa prosecutors on Monday charged a Jenks woman with first-degree murder for allegedly fracturing the skull of her boyfriend’s 23-month-old son, records show.

Ashley Lorene Parnell, 25, is accused of physically abusing Skyler Roininen by slamming his head into an object March 27, causing a 20-centimeter, or 7.87-inch, fracture to the toddler’s skull at a residence at 404 N. 7th St. in Jenks, records show.

The baby sustained brain swelling and died the following day at St. Francis Hospital. An autopsy report listed the cause of death as blunt head trauma.

Parnell was arrested Monday and her bail was set at $750,000. Interviews with Parnell, the boy’s father, Robert Roininen, and Parnell’s grandmother, Nina Fries, failed to reveal how the child’s fatal injuries happened, according to a probable cause affidavit. The residence where the death took place is Fries’, records show.

Parnell, however, told police that she smoked marijuana before going to sleep the day the toddler was found unresponsive. Police also discovered marijuana in Parnell’s bedroom, documents indicate.

Investigators discovered that the baby had been living in squalor with the two pot smokers. Rat droppings covered the floor and were found in little Skylar’s crib. Police believe a high Parnell beat the baby for some unknown reason.

Parnell’s drug use was, as always, part of a lifestyle of “partying” that was slowly spiraling out of control. She was busted in 2005 for petty theft and had lucked out on an assault beef that prosecutors had dropped against her.

In the comments section of the Tulsa World story there are people who claim this is out of character with the Parnell they knew in high school. I wouldn’t doubt it, as a near decade of drug use since she was 18, even of the “harmless” pot, would leave her virtually unrecognizable to those that knew them before.

Dreamin’ Demon had posted on this story, but more importantly they posted about this case which is a wonderful accompanying piece to the above story. It seems a 16 year old girl named Angel Dailey and her 18 year old boyfriend recorded themselves forcing an infant to smoke pot.

Yes you heard that right they held down an infant and forced the child to inhale Marijauna smoke. But wait, the story gets better.

Don Dailey, the father of Angel Dailey, was arrested after a joint DEA/IRS raid uncovered over a ton of pot hidden in the walls of their home. Hmmm. I wonder who taught Angel that baby smoking trick? But wait, there’s more!

Also arrested in that case was Angel’s boyfriend and fellow child abuser Melvin Blevins, who worked for Don Dailey. Angel Dailey’s scumbag dealer father was allowing her to date a low level scumbag dealer that he employed. One big happy pot smoking family, huh?

It’s almost as if chronic (no pun intended) marijuana use alters the personality of people and changes their sense of right and wrong.

So … can we admit now that pot does in fact hurt people? Or should I just keep posting these stories?

Victimless Crime File: Man Sells Sister for Heroin

This story from New Mexico demonstrates both the fallacy of the drug abuse as a victimless crime meme and the danger of, as Dr. Deborah Schurman-Kauflin put it, importing misogyny from violent failed states. Via Fox News:

SANTA FE, N.M. — A Santa Fe man is accused of kidnapping and raping a 19-year-old Espanola woman police say he considered his “property” after her brother traded her for heroin.

Herman Flores Jr., 24, has been charged in Santa Fe County Magistrate Court with criminal sexual penetration and in Rio Arriba County Magistrate Court with kidnapping, aggravated burglary and threatening or intimidating a witness.

Flores apparently considered the woman his possession and wanted her to bear his children, Espanola police Detective Christian Lopez said.

“It is bizarre,” Lopez said. “I’ve not heard of this happening before.”

According to a police report, the woman’s boyfriend called Espanola police March 28 to report she had sent him text messages that morning that she was being taken against her will and might be killed.

Espanola police discovered she was with Flores and tracked him to his grandmother’s home in La Cienega.

The woman told Lopez she met Flores last September when her brother “was in dire need of narcotics,” according to the police report. The brother got drugs from Flores but couldn’t pay, and told Flores he could have his sister “and ‘do whatever he wanted with her’ because she was his property now,” Lopez’s report said.

The woman told police it wasn’t the first time her brother traded her for drugs but that he’d never given “full custody” of her before. Previously, “she would have to go with the males that he would trade her to and then she would be released,” police said.

The woman told police she could not flee from Flores “and was told on numerous occasions that she was going to (bear) his children because she was now Herman’s,” the report said.

After Flores was arrested on outstanding warrants last October, the woman was forced to stay with his family, but managed to escape. She stayed in touch with Flores until December, when she wrote him to say she could not be with him anymore, Lopez said.

Often we hear people claim that if an addict isn’t robbing or mugging anyone then his or her addiction is his or her business, but those that make such specious claims have no idea how nightmarish the world of hardcore drug use is. Years of addiction to mind altering substances impair not only a person’s judgment, but their morality and ability to empathize with others.

Combine this with an unassimilated, misogynistic culture that insulates itself from the mainstream and you have the perfect recipe for abuse. Herman Flores may be the man arrested for this crime but understand that two families and countless other men all violated this poor girl. Flores’ family held the girl captive in his stead and her own brother forced her to prostitute herself with random strangers.

And who were these other men who violated this teen? Not one of them felt it was wrong? No one in this situation sought to put a stop to this abuse?

Drug abuse takes a toll on our communities, our country and more importantly our souls. It is time we admitted that to our children, that people who spent a lifetime getting high are probably untrustworthy, morally impaired and unable to function normally. Then we can work on the real problems that face us, like promoting assimilation into America where individuals are free and cannot be traded like property.

Victimless Crime File: Katreice Trujillo Shares Her Crystal Meth with Baby

Katreice Trujillo, the girl in the center in the above classy photo (courtesy of her MySpace) has been arrested on suspicion of poisoning her 3 month old … with Meth.

From CBS4Denver:

DENVER (CBS4) ― A Denver woman is facing child abuse charges after being arrested Wednesday on suspicion of giving methamphetamine to her 3-month-old child.

Katreice Trujillo, 27, faces a charge of child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury.

On March 28 the child was taken to Children’s Hospital because it was experiencing seizures. Doctors determined that the child had meth in its system.

“Methamphetamine could kill an adult,” said Sonny Jackson, spokesman for Denver police. “Think about a 3-month-old baby taking this kind of drug. It’s very, very dangerous.”

The arrest and search warrant said Trujillo told police she called 911 when she noted her baby “shaking” and that “his eyes had rolled back.”

Tests at the hospital found the baby was also “bleeding from his stomach.”

“This was not a meth lab,” Jackson said. “This is not a situation where the child is accidentally crawling on the floor while they cook meth. This is a situation where truly the child did ingest the drug.”

The court documents said Trujillo told police she did not breast feed, but used formula from a bottle.

The last quote implies that Trujillo is herself on meth but that breast feeding wasn’t how she got the meth into the baby.

Morbid over at Dreamin’ Demon thinks that the fact that Trujillo is being charged with child abuse as opposed to child endangerment means the cops are operating under the theory that Trujillo deliberately dosed her kid with the drug.

Often enough I’ll get a comment or Email implying I’m some sort of Stalinist because I don’t think drug use is “victimless” and that legalization won’t reduce crime. In the real world crimes related to drugs are not entirely caused by the tension between state and dealer, but by the users themselves whose lives often spiral out of control.

Katreice Trujillo gave her 3 month old baby crystal meth. She didn’t want the baby to die clearly since she called 911, but why then did she give the baby the meth?

We will never know, but that child may be brain damaged from the overdose. Trujillo’s drug use has a victim beside her and if drugs were legal this tragic case would still have happened.

Legalize It!: Baby Mutilations be Damned

Many a Libertarian has looked you square in the eye and told you that taking drugs are a personal matter and largely a victimless crime. Tell that to the son of ecstasy abusing scumbag Thy Chan:

A Lowell toddler was leaning in for a kiss when his lip was bitten off by his drug-addled father in a sickening attack Saturday, according to a police report.

Police said yesterday that the 22-month-old boy’s condition was improving, and efforts to reattach the lip at Boston’s Children’s Hospital were initially successful, the Lowell Sun reported.

Prosecutors allege that Thy Chan, 26, was high on ecstasy when he bit down and severed his little son’s lip at their Middlesex Street apartment Saturday morning.

The tot’s horrified mother, Karolyn Ung, 25, wrestled her son from Chan’s jaws, took him and her daughter to another room, locked the door and called 911, the Lowell police report said.

Chan was arrested and hospitalized at Saints Medical Center in Lowell, where he was arraigned yesterday.

“Many of the most troubling cases that we deal with involve the abuse of young children,” Middlesex District Attorney Gerard Leone Jr. said. “This is a deeply disturbing case in which we allege that the young child was savagely injured by the defendant.”

Ung told cops that Chan returned home at 9:30 a.m. Saturday after being out all night. She said Chan was “tripping on ecstasy” and that he had been pacing back and forth all morning, grinding his teeth and drinking a lot of water, the police report said.

She told cops that Chan had a history of abusing the drug ecstasy.

At about 9:15 a.m., Ung told cops that Chan was playing on the couple’s bed with their son and daughter. Her son leaned forward as if to kiss his dad when she saw Chan bite down on the boy’s lip, the report said.

“She jumped up to try and separate them, but he refused to let go,” the report said. “He then bit the child’s lip off.”

Cops arrived to find the little victim wrapped in a blanket and bleeding profusely from his mouth.

Some will say, as they usually do, that ecstasy didn’t cause this crime. They’ll claim Thy Chan was a closet lip mauler all along and would have ripped of his child’s lip eventually anyway.

But do you buy that? And can America afford to normalize drug use more than it already has been?

Never Trust a Stoner (Especially with Your Kittens)

People always say pot smokers are harmless mellow creatures who wouldn’t hurt a fly. Torturing kittens, however is apparently an acceptable pass time for the brethren of the smoke. From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution website:

When Mark Samson returned from a business trip and discovered one of his kittens missing, he didn’t give it much thought. The cat often wandered off, Samson said, trailing after passing strangers who paused to pet it.

Then two weeks went by without Samson’s family seeing so much as a whisker. On Wednesday, they learned what had become of their beloved pet.

A sheriff’s deputy said that their kitten’s mutilated remains had been found on a neighbor’s property along with those of another cat. Then it got worse.

Investigators say Tye Hilmo, 21, of Dacula trapped neighborhood kittens, hurt them and gave them to his pit bull to kill.

“That cat was special,” Samson said. … [My wife] raised it, fed it, got its shots.”

Sheriff’s deputies charged Hilmo with aggravated animal cruelty, a felony that carries a penalty of one to five years in prison and a fine of up to $15,000. He’s been in the Gwinnett County Jail, with no bond allowed, since deputies searched his home Sept. 10. They found two pounds of marijuana, several firearms — and two cat carcasses in the yard, said Stacey Bourbonnais, Gwinnett County sheriff’s spokeswoman.

Hilmo’s cellphone contained an image of a dog chewing a kitten above a caption that reads, “Good dog,” Bourbonnais said.

“It’s indescribable and sick that people would do this … to and with animals,” she said.

Two pounds of weed didn’t do much to get him in a peace, love and grove mood. It’s almost as if pot smoking does indeed have negative consequences for society, like deadening the soul of some guy who no doubt would have moved on to people eventually, when maiming defenseless kittens before feeding them alive and screaming to his vicious dog didn’t excite him enough.

If you live in Dacula, GA stay away from this guy, he’s about five years away from being found with a dead hooker in his trunk. Here’s a mug shot of the Georgia’s future John Wayne Gacy:

Fox News is also reporting on this. Let’s hope his dogs are put to sleep and he gets put in a hospital by judges decree.

Or a mob’s.
