This incident makes you wonder if there are people who are just too stupid to live.

Student may face charges for making toxic drink

A West Texas student who mixed a chemical cocktail that landed a teen-ager in the hospital will face a felony charge if the student who drank it chooses to press charges, authorities said Tuesday.

Ector County Schools Police Chief Henry Jackson said the Odessa High School student, who drank the chemical on a dare, is considering pressing an aggravated assault charge. That charge is a second-degree felony.

“The person who mixed it knew it was bad,” Jackson said in a story in Tuesday’s online edition of the Odessa American.

The student, a 17-year-old recent transfer to Odessa High from Andrews, spent several days in the hospital after being found in a school hallway bleeding from the nose and mouth.

His identity has not been made public.

It seems odd to me that the idiot who made the drink could be charged if someone is stupid enough to drink it.  How stupid do you have to be to drink something if you don’t know what’s in it?
