This is another idiotic event that ties directly into the House bill to legalize marijuana.
32 pounds of ganja, first discovered in Arizona and followed by the Feds all the way to a no-knock raid on a Mayor's house in Va.
Was this worth the time and effort of the Feds? What did they save our society from? Stoners?
Hardly. MJ is like Prohibition booze. You've got Feds running around chasing this way and that to save society from the evils of alcohol while a very large percentage of the populace buys smuggled booze, makes their own bathtub gin and frequent speakeasys. All it led to was a huge waste of time, money, effort and blood. Now booze is legal and guess what? Not every citizen drinks, some drink responsibly and a minority over do it. Legal alcohol is a thriving business and a boon to the economy from the supermarket six-pack to the high dollar wine at restaurants and hard drinks at sports bars.
It is past time to legalize MJ and quit wasting our law enforcement effort, money and liberties on these no-knock raids that will.... mark my words... escalate until LEOs either change their tactics or start dying in increasing numbers.
I'm a pretty peaceable, lawful person. But if you break into my home and shoot at my dogs or my family, you're going to get a magazine of .308 in return. I don't give a damn if you are shouting "Police". The 4th Amendement still means something to me and I WILL fight for it.AS you can tell, these continual no-knock incidents have truly pissed me off.
Time to write your Representatives in support of the Frank/Paul bill on MJ. HR 5843 is the one.
Oh yeah.. tell them that they better get the cops to respect the 4th Amendment while they're at it.
