Don’t get me wrong, the proper use of mushrooms is okay, or at least I’ve been told, but deciding to climb up to your rooftop at six in the morning, remove your boxer shorts and start preaching isn’t what I would call a good plan. It also isn’t a good way to make friends with your neighbors or the police as professional skateboarder Jereme Rogers found out.
While Rogers apologized to his Redondo Beach for his ‘bugged out’ behavior he also said that it obviously wasn’t and everyday experience. The 24-year-old skateboarder, who attributes his skills to god, decided that this was indeed the perfect time to preach to his neighbors about God.
Redondo Beach police Lt. Jim Acquarelli climbed about 20 to 30 feet to the roof, where he found Rogers yelling and screaming. Acquarelli said Rogers’ roommates told him that he had ingested the hallucinogenic drug.
Rogers ran back and forth around the roof’s perimeter, sitting down at the edge with his back to the street.
“He would have fragmented, interrupted conversations with people that weren’t there,” Acquarelli said.
Rogers never tried to jump or talked of suicide, but he came very close to falling.
“He never lost his balance,” the lieutenant said. “The potential was there for it. If he had taken a few negligible steps to the right, that would have impeded his balance and would have led to his demise.”
