Under the influence and buck-ass naked

Here's the story. Last Friday a guy I know pulls into a local gas station to fill up before taking the kids back to mommy. He hits the parking lot to find a 30 or so year old black man in the parking lot with his pants down and obviously oblivious to what's going on. He tries to pull around and find a less offensive place to get gas, but "homie" jumps on the hood of the truck.

So the driver rolls down the window, and for some reason attempts to reason with this half-naked man in the gas station parking lot. Not a good idea, now "homie" is trying to come through the window, throwing punches all the while. The driver connects solidly with a left to the face. Assuming that did the job, he pulls into the highway. Nope, "homie" got the seat belt strap and is now in tow. So the driver continues to bludgeon this asshole. "Homie" is bleeding badly from the face, is still half naked and still hanging on.

So the driver pulls onto the shoulder, slows considerably and implores "homie" to let go. He doesn't. I guess the driver's fist was hurting at this point so he goes to the Mag Lite. After a couple of cracks about the forehead he tells "homie" to let go or else he will speed up. He doesn't let go so another smack with the Mag Lite is in order. The driver again tells "homie" to let go or else. "Homie" finally let go. Let go and fell under the truck, which promptly ran over his dumb ass.

Now the driver is concerned... didn't mean to run him over. So he turns around only to find an off-duty officer attempting to contact the half naked, half beaten to death man that just got ran over by a truck. The fight is on. A can of pepper spray later the Police resort to beating his ass.

When all is said and done "homie" goes to the hospital, tests positive for methamphetamine, PCP and marijuana. He then goes to jail for being naked in public, apparently attempting to car jack a truck while naked, and for fighting the Police. They learned later that the man lived over an hour away and was going to Houston, TX for the NBA All-Star Game when the people in the car got fed up with him and kicked him out at the gas station.

The percentage of black guys in this State that use meth or PCP is extremely low, less than 1/2 % of all meth and PCP arrests. So I deduce this. He gets a sack of weed and decides to smoke a blunt before making the trip. The weed is laced and an hour later he is completely out of his damn mind. He gets put out in a foreign place and an hour later...

Naked in public, face beat all to Hell, head cracked open by a light, pepper sprayed, beat again by the cops, road rash on your naked ass and who knows what else (Ouch!!), got ran over by a truck and in jail facing charges. See PCP is one of the only drugs in the country that will make you get naked, climb atop the local Sears store, threaten to kill everyone in town, get shot 12 times in the chest and not even know it happened. All from smoking a little weed. Yeah, let's legalize it.
