Shots were fired in the area of the 4/20 marijuana rally being held at Civic Center Park in Denver, KDVR.com reports. Denver police say one person has been shot in the leg and another is down with unknown injuries. Witnesses say they heard three or more shots about 20 minutes after 4:20 p.m. Police swarmed the scene, and crime tape was around the pavilion where the celebration was being held. Aerial footage showed the massive crowd frantically running from the park. The pot celebration Saturday was the first since Colorado and Washington made marijuana legal for recreational use.

I can absolutely see that scene!

When I saw this thread, I had to look. I don’t find it funny that people got hurt, not at all.

But the juxtaposition of a drug that is supposed to make you mell-low with the most vilified weapon in modern US history, the Handgun, just strike me as so at odds that it hits my funny bone.

I’m a tad curious about the “whocares” keyword above ...

Police described the first suspect as a light complexioned black male, about 6 feet tall and weighing about 180 pounds. He was wearing a gray hoodie, black pants and a Carolina blue baseball cap.

The second suspect was a black male in a checkered black and white shirt. Police spokesman Sonny Jackson didn't have a description of that suspect's height and weight.

Song remains the same...

Cops are complaining they couldn’t find witnesses because all ran away. A lot of good it would have done had any stayed. Defense lawyers would have had a ball cross-examining the stoned witness testimony!

“So... what exactly did you see, Mr. Herperderper?”

“I saw music.”

“Your honor...we would like to call into question the credibility of the witness.”

That’s because they want to clear the belligerent drunks out. Search YouTube for Denny’s fight.

The crowd looked to be about 98% white. Must be a lot of blacks face palming right about now.

Heard someone on TV state that marijuana was 100% natural unlike tobacco. The stupid flows through them like bong water.

Duude, cool so smoking pot like will never cause lung cancer and stuff, I guess the only thing to shorten the lifespan of a pot smoker is all the junk food they eat when they get the “munchies”...

drugs and violence, nah couldn’t be ARF.

Lets make dope legal for the dope heads to get rid of the drug dealers, but oh wait lets also put a 15% tax on the dope by the state to make money.

Yet again liberal left wing thinking, use the popular argument to get something legal and then tax it and then see the drug dealers then price out the state and then see crap like this.

Yet again the liberal thinking and agenda shows how stupid they are.

Well considering the state already sells drugs via the dirty cops and other dirty federal officials....

Maybe one reason the law enforcement doesn’t like the idea is that it will take away the money from the corrupt government officials.

Next time you talk to a friend who is a cop, take them aside and ask them how rampant “officers onthe take” are...

There has been many cases of dirty cops saying they busted someone with 10 million of cash and 10 kilos of drugs while there was actually 30 million in cash and 30 kilos of drugs, do you think that during a trial the deal would correct them and get an additonal 10 years in the pokey... NOPE...

I am not saying all cops are dirty but there are a lot more out there than you think who ARE.

UN agenda 21 wants as many people stoned as they can get so they don’t have to waste bullets in the takeover and stoners are good citizens,(prisoners).

Pot = Soma from Brave New World and the pot smokers will soon become Episilons.....

Typical. For a drug that makes you peaceful, there sure is a lot of violence associated with it.

Yeah, duuude, but since pot is “majical miracle nmedicine maaaannn” anyone who is shot while high will be just fine, even if they get shot in the brain, because there isn’t much left up there anyways...
