You beat me to it.
Seems popular...
The anti-freedom types are resorting to extortion. Figures.

The ignorant types are resorting to gross generalizations. Figures.
If you want to go live on an island where smoking pot affects no one but you then by all means please do. But in the meantime I have a lifetime of experience that tells me that legalized pot, in my opinion, is a bad idea for society and that is how I would base my vote on it any time it is on a ballot. Am I allowed to have different opinions than you? Am I allowed to vote based on those opinions? And am I allowed to vote and voice those opinions without being labeled ‘anti’freedom’. Apparently not. Quite ironic.
I’ve been around police dogs in the past and it appears to me that Assistant Police Chief Steve Petrilli is like most police chiefs, a highly educated administrator who has very little street experience. The solution could be as simple as getting a new dog trainer.
I am sure there are jurisdictions i states the do not have Illinois’ budget for training these dogs that would be happy to take these dogs
I have never smoked pot and don’t intend to start.
But logic informs me that it is better to let idiots smoke the stuff than to compromise civil liberties. The freedoms lost in drug wars greatly exceed any damage the stupid potheads cause.
I am a right winger, so everybody is allowed whatever opinions they want. But you might as well understand that you are supporting civil asset seizures, gun control, no-knock warrants, and other totalitarian idiocy when you support continued prohibition.
I’d rather put up with the potheads.
LOL the first thing I thought of when I read this article was that magazine cover!
So in your philosophy of government, anything that is "a bad idea for society" may properly be banned? If so, you've given the game away to the libs who say greed and poverty are bad for society and so must be combatted by government.
And am I allowed to vote and voice those opinions without being labeled ‘anti’freedom’.
No, you are not - your right to voice your opinion goes hand in hand with others' right to voice their opinions about your opinion. Maybe instead of whining, you should explain to us how your anti-pot views square with the conservative principles of freedom and limited government.

Amen! Well said.
Many shelter dogs have been trained by abuse and neglect not to be social - and nonetheless are successfully adopted. This scummy pig is holding his canines hostage.
Whether pot is legal or not, cops seem to like shooting dogs. *sigh*
This is terrorism, is it not ?
“If you pass this law, we’ll shoot these dogs”
While the actual story is bad enough, the headline is excessive.
“I have never smoked pot and don’t intend to start.

Second that. I am tired of living in a police state under the excuse that we are saving people from themselves.
Another benefit is legalizing pot will reduce exposure to harder drugs via dealers. When I was young I watched many people get hooked on hard stuff that came from the same dealers. I’m not advocating legalization but it would be nice to cut a big portion of drug cartel revenues. Also of note I expect sometime soon anyone with a marijuana card will be placed on a no gun list.
Exactly. They can use the dogs for target practice.

It's not like they are going to be beating the dogs to death with sticks. Dogs and cats are euthanized humanely every day all over the country.
They aren't people folks.
