And then the DEA eventually not only has a negligent death on their hands, but also active effort to cover it up, undermining the legitimacy of the entire organization and the US gov't image. I don't think so They had already done the paperwork saying he was released. All the DEA would need to do is stand by the paperwork and it would appear he went missing after release. | ||

It's horrible and all but how much of an idiot can someone be (if he was honest about it in his story)? Well it is really not meant in an insulting way, but you come across as an idiot here.. After some days without water, your brain does not work properly anymore, so labelling someone without a proper functioning brain who commits seemingly stupid desperation acts an idiot, is not the smartest move from you. | ||

To those making light of the prisoner's situation, first consider the effects of dehydration--skin ulcers, hallucination, mouth sores, tongue cracking. Then add the mental aspect of going from thinking you will be released (or at least fed/allowed to urinate) in an hour or two, to slowly realizing/believing you have been forgotten and are going to die in, essentially, a broom closet. I bet they didn't even give him a good book to occupy him. Eighth Amendment, sucka! | ||

Also, if you are locked in an empty room containing anything--rat shit, a jar labeled xxpoisonxx, etc., after 5 days without water, you are going to be at least considering the possibility that the rat shit is actually raisins and the poison jar is full of protein powder. Inability to empathize with this kid is a failure of imagination. Anyone could find themselves in a similar situation. What if you ran out of gas and walked to the nearest house to use the phone, just as it was being raided by the DEA? This is why we presume innocence--or are supposed to. | ||

Add to that the fact that nothing suggests that he actually committed a crime. I mean, he very well might have committed a crime, but from the article, he could have just as easily just showed up at what he thought was a legit party, and been swept up in a raid before he realized how gangster his pals were. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nuance | ||

This seems to be the most likely explanation by far, at least to me. That seems like the most unlikely explanation. Seeing as they said meth too, not crack XD. But yeah, I really doubt he "ate" meth for fun. | ||

Well, he would've died otherwise. No person forced him, but I guess it's fair to say he was forced by the circumstances. And this is tricky to me. Isolation for 5 days (he had to be to be forgotten, correct?), drinking your own piss, and eating meth off a floor for a few millions. Tricky, but I'd say it's prolly worth it. | ||

A person of average health can generally survive ~10days without water, sure you could argue he didn't know if he would ever get out but he could have gone the 5 days without drinking his piss. Altho doing the meth probably didn't do anything to clear his judgement | ||

All the DEA would need to do is stand by the paperwork and it would appear he went missing after release. Sorry but that still seems like paranoid conspiracy to me. Just because it could happen does not mean it would likely happen. Why would they take that risk? Investigation into his disappearance would quickly reveal that no one ever saw him after the DEA "released him". Follow up questioning into his "release" -- which no one ever actually confirmed -- reveals inconsistency in accounts of what happened, and maybe someone slips up, stating that although they signed forms, they never actually say anyone released. And so on. Eventually it caves in and then there is a huge mess. You may be the type of risky individual that thinks the DEA should've gone for the lie in order to save face. It's good that they don't operate in your high risk way, and instead prefer transparency, because otherwise they'd find themselves in a lot of trouble very quickly. | ||
