Booby-Trapped Pot Injures Three Drug Agents

[templar]

Despite your views on pot legalization being a panacea,

I don't view legalizing pot as a panacea. I point out that criminals are involved in pot cultivation and trade because of the money that is there. The more illegal it is, the more money it will bring to crime. The more money the more likely that violent people will involve themselves in it.

Criminals by nature will always be criminals. But, there are those who will become criminals for the easy money of drug trading that would otherwise lead, at least marginally, law abiding lives. Drug trading offers the potential of criminal activity to far more people than most other criminal activities. In fact anyone can engage in it.

My two cents on this situation:I am not in favor of goverment crop eradication,but the persons who planted this stuff probobly were more interested in detering thieves in a civilian sense as opposed to goverment thieves. There is no doubt in my mind that legalizing the cultivation of this plant would lead to a reduction in the potential for violent harm to law enforcement,citizens,and also help eliminate the black market for the stuff. When this happens,it should not be taxed,and it should be largely unregulated.This will help to make the stuff effectively worthless. Important will be educating youth on the fact that pot is a substance that's use must be moderate.Smoking it too often can lead to disorientation and disfunction.

In fact, it was a direct violation of the property rights of the owners that you indicate you are in favor of.

Well, duh?!

Perhaps if the drug war goons weren't seizing private property through asset forfeiture, then it wouldn't have been grown on public property. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out.

We are not under the King's law.

Bzzzzzzt! Wrong! You are using logic here and that will not be tolerated. /sarcasm off

Can't have the bribes or the JBT's funding cut off now can we? Wink wink.

When will they stop this senseless war on drugs? How many more victims will it claim. Think about the children!

Gives a whole new meaning to the term "killer weed."

Plus my plan might result in a severe reduction in sales for the helicopter companys. In my local county,the local Dem. Congressrat convinced the feds to give the county 2 copters for the purposes of "search and rescue". Well,guess what,there were not enough S&R missions to keep the birds busy. So the Sherrifs figured they could do some "training" and keep the birds operating and not let them sit,lest the seals go bad,by doing a little "fly-over" work and now they fly over everyones back yards and snoop around,terrorizing the entire county.

You are brave. I hope you are wearing your flame retardent suit.

"Those lazy potheads are finally showing some initiative"

ROTFL!

Oh, silly me. That must mean all is well. Or it does if mindless replies fix everything for you.

Go back to sleep, we'll wake you if something happens.

I'm sorry if facts (We are not under the King's law) cause you to have mental indigestion.

Personal, ad hominem, attacks say more about the speaker than they do about the intended target.

Maybe you, or the lawyer types on FR can explain how the National Guard is any different than the regular military when it comes to a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

PC does not come into play here. They are not acting as police.

[Texasforever]

have no sympathy for the pigs who have been injured when they tried to steal the private property of another person.

Said the pig.

[Liberty Teeth]

This is common practice for hardcore pot growers. Crazed hippies who have a lot of money at stake will gladly take your arm off if you mess with their stash. Most of the time these traps are laid for teenagers who sniff around known pot feilds.

So do you suggest that laws can only be unjust if decreed by a king? I don't see how your lame reply is germane.

Personal, ad hominem, attacks say more about the speaker than they do about the intended target.

Red herring. You didn't come within a hundred miles of addressing my post. Typical of "big gov is ok as long as they have "R" after their name" apologists.

You posted:

These armchair constitutionalists who advocate violence as a means of breaking laws they disagree with are no different, imo, than terrorists. They just use a document to justify their illegal, immoral, inflated faux-flag-waving sense of self-worth. Remember?

And so you cry "personal attack" because I challenge you to defend an inflammatory cheapshot. Lame, and pathetic, but so typical.

I thought pot people were just laid back pacifists.

I've heard that, too.

Some folks who value freedom are not so easy-going, though.

Well those "freedom lovers" should not be surprised when pay-back comes.

There is justice in the world.
