College Idiot Example

Bottom line, both former students deserved to be called idiots.

Two former Northeastern University freshmen are facing drug and other charges after prosecutors said one of them leaned out his dorm window on Sunday and loudly told a woman in the dorm opposite his that he and his roomate were selling pot.

Michael Emery allegedly said "If you're looking for weed, my roommate Ferrante has some for sale." (Mistake 1)

Is it possible that he was high or something? Why not pick up the phone and call her and tell her you got some pot to sell?

Well, two plain clothes Boston officers overheard the conversation and made their way up to a second floor dorm room where they arrested Michael and Matthew Ferrante. Funny enough, they left their door open. (Mistake 2)

The officers recovered a total of eight small bags of marijuana packaged for individual resale, a larger bag containing three to four ounces of marijuana, and hundreds of clear plastic baggies. The officers also found a vaporizer, a grinder, a bong, and a glass pipe, each with marijuana residue in or on it, as well as a Triton T2 digital scale… [A] Grey Goose bottle – along with bottles of Malibu rum, Smirnoff Twist raspberry vodka, and Southern Comfort – was also seized. They also found $1,045 in cash.

Outside the window of their room, the students had rigged a pulley system that had been designed to raise and lower items from the room directly overhead. It was not immediately known how the students were using the pulley system, prosecutors said.

The charges include possession of a class D substance with intent to distribute in a school zone, possession of alcohol by a minor, and conspiracy to violate the state's drug laws.

Strangely enough, both have pleaded not guilty. (Mistake 3) They are due back in court on Oct. 24.

As for being Northeastern University students, university spokeswoman Laura Shea said, "They are no longer students here."

Another two for the society drain. I don't know why they decided to plead not guilty. They advertised their drug sale, they left their door open so the officers saw the drug stuff on their table. The two idiots gave them permission to search the room whereby they found other drugs and equip, alcohol, and cash.

Of course we are not sure if both have a prior arrest record. Even if this was a first-time arrest, it deserves serious punishment. They had a drug-sale business going on with the works. If it was a few ounces in a few bags, we could be lenient, but they had much more and the equipment. I really doubt they can get back into Northeastern. I would assume they would argue that it was weed, and not cocaine, heroin, or crack, and the punishment does not fit the crime, but substance abuse is pretty much straightforward, and most schools have a stringent, if not zero-tolerance policy on it.

Looks like community school for the both of them, or maybe not. I bet Ferrante and Michael would not call each other as friends after this.
