‘Our Recreational Drug Use Began About a Year Ago … It Increased Recently.’

The Understatement of the Year competition just got tougher thanks to Meghan Griffin, who offered the quote above in a statement to police after an April incident at a QFC grocery story in Redmond, Washington, where her husband was found in a state of paranoia with “visible white powder on his lips” and carrying a […]

‘Comprehensive Gun Safety Measures’
