Tucker Carlson suggests link between mass shootings and marijuana use

"In the aftermaths of the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, the country scrambled, justifiably, to understand what motivated the killers.... I don't think it's going way out on a limb to draw that connection then between cannabis use, particularly I assume chronic use and acts of violence. Why is this not something that we're pursuing more aggressively?"

Perhaps because it is not true...

Couple arrested in multiple burglaries just 3 years after $500K lottery win

A Michigan couple who won $500,000 on a state lottery scratch-off ticket in 2016 have been charged in a string of burglaries.

MLive.com reports that 29-year-old Mitchell Arnswald and 28-year-old Stephanie Harvell were arraigned Friday on home invasion and possession of burglary toolscharges. They are each being held on $50,000 cash bonds.
While poverty does not relate to crime, lottery winners have a higher percentage of going bankrupt within 3-5 years then the general population and 1/3 of all winners will eventually go bankrupt.

I remember having a guy come into the office who won about a million dollars on a progressive slot machine. The casino withheld on the money according to law. The happy guy got himself and his gal a house and a lot of furniture and a car. He worked on building maintenance for a client who told him he had to come see me. When returns were prepared, he owed a lot of money to both federal and state taxes. He was confused and kept telling me the casino withheld on the prize money.

It took a long time and many conversations to convince him the fact the casino withheld on the amount did not mean all the taxes had been paid. (In fact, zero was paid to the state.) In the final analysis, while he got a house and furniture and a car to use, his cash flow became negative after the house loan was increased to pay for the taxes.

Free money never cost him so much.

He was a nice guy who worked hard all his life. With a couple of financial errors because he thought he had more cash than one would need to worry about, his situation took a turn for the worse.
