DEA Left Student in Cell FOR 5 DAYS NO FOOD OR WATER!!! DRANK OWN URINE!!!

Yea the DEA is useless. They are failures on every front possible, send them to mexico to fight the drug cartels.

Been browsing more on this story and it's just awful. Kid was screaming for help whenever he heard anyone outside the room but they just ignored him figuring someone else was responsible. Just goes to show how much of a daze the world is in especially the ones that are supposed to be protecting us.

When they treat students like this, there really is no lower this country can sink. Time to get out. Now.

maybe they dont like chongs.

maybe they be raciss

What I don't understand is how a random baggie of Amphetamines happened to be laying within reach of the student? If they had "Forgotten" him then what's up with that obviously placed variable?

Think of the poor teenager who might have obtained a baggie of marihuana had that scumbag not been detained!

Wait wut? The guy in DEA jail had meth provided for him?

load of bull

clearly they did this on purpose

According to the students testimony when he was starving and thirsty as hell he found a little bag with some white substance in it and ate it. Later the officials said it was Amphetamines.

The [justifiable] lawsuit is going to be epic.

This deserves a Pin just to show everyone what a bunch of pricks the DEA are. I've personally dealt with them and it doesn't matter who you are they treat you like your scum no matter what. Act like they rule the world.

And those who were in charge during this incident will probably be rewarded while some low level chump will be tar and feathered.

Here is a different version of the story. More detailed.

Daniel Chong, the UC San Diego student who was left in a Drug Enforcement Administration holding cell for nearly five days, said the time spent in his cell was a life-altering experience.


The 23-year-old spoke with NBCSanDiego and said he was increasingly worried throughout the days he spent in a 5-foot by 10-foot cell, where he could not spread his arms out wide.
“They never came back, ignored all my cries and I still don’t know what happened,” he said. “I’m not sure how they could forget me.”

Chong and his lawyer spoke to the media on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the claim they will file with the federal court system on Wednesday.
“He was at the wrong place at the wrong time,” said his lawyer Gene Iredale, who compared Chong’s experience to Abu Ghraib.
Chong said he was at a friend’s house in University City celebrating 4/20, a day many marijuana users set aside to smoke, when agents came inside and raided the residence. Chong was then taken to the DEA office in Kearny Mesa.
He said agents questioned him, and then told him he could go home. One agent even offered him a ride, Chong said. No criminal charges were filed against him.
But Chong did not go home that night. Instead, he was placed in a cell for five days without any human contact and was not given food or drink. In his desperation, he said he was forced to drink his own urine.
“I had to do what I had to do to survive …. I hallucinated by the third day,” Chong said. “I was completely insane.”
Chong said he lost roughly 15 pounds during the time he was alone. His lawyer confirmed that Chong ingested a powdery substance found inside the cell. Later testing revealed the substance was methamphetamine.
After days of being ignored, Chong said he tried to take his own life by breaking the glass from his spectacles with his teeth and then attempting to carve “Sorry mom,” on his arm. He said nurses also found pieces of glass in his throat, which led him to believe he ingested the pieces purposefully.
Student in DEA custody forgotten without food or water for days
Chong said he could hear DEA employees and people in neighboring cells. He screamed to let them know he was there, but no one replied. He kicked the door, but no one came to get him.
By the time DEA officers found Chong in his cell Wednesday morning Chong was completely incoherent, said Iredale.
“I didn’t think I would come out,” Chong said.
He said when employees discovered him in the cell that they looked confused and nervous. A DEA employee rode with him to the hospital, where they paid for Chong’s visit.
He spent three days in the intensive care unit at Sharp Hospital and his kidneys were close to failing.

The DEA has not apologized to Chong, said Iredale.
The incident also caused Chong to miss his midterms at UCSD. He said he does not know if he will return to school, as his perspective on life has changed since his isolation.
San Diego defense attorney Gretchen Von Helms said the victim could get millions if he files a lawsuit.
"In all my years of practice I've never heard of the DEA or any federal government employee simply forgetting about someone that they have in their care," she said.
"There has to be repercussions if people do not follow the safety and the care when they have a human being in their custody."

I guess based on peoples reaction to this story perfect explains why they even do this crap because they know people will just glaze over it an move on. Such BS

The DEA has the best dope...no wonder they spaced him.

What I would give to see what they have in their evidence room.

FINAL

Ok maybe on more

BEAR GRYLLS. saving lives.

This is terrible. If they want to lock somebody up, THEY HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WELFARE OF THAT PERSON! They can't just chuck a guy in jail without even water. Hopefully the people responsible will soon be doing some time of their own, but will get food and water at least.

Yep I mean even the worst criminals in the world don't get this kind of treatment.

This is what settlements are for. Not the stupid woman suing Nutella Hazelnut cause it isnt as nutritious as brocolli or suing cause the dry cleaners lost your pants

This is genuine negligent suffering. Damn all those sick people clogging up our courts with their pissy ass lawsuits

This is what the courts were made for. That boy really suffered.

And I guarantee you they will put him behind that long ass line of idiots while everyone in the public cools off about this so that they have a better chance to get out of the situation losing less money. Sad world

Im almost thinking that no one will go to heaven unless theyve stared at fear in the face and suffering and near death

Theres too many spoiled brats in the world that think the world is ending cause their IPAD overheats or their new blackberry lacks a keyboard or a fly lands in their soup, or they threw away a lottery ticket in the trash and someone else picks it up. (lottery court case ruled in favor of the woman that threw it in the trash)

Total sissies ruining it for the rest of us.
