Yet Another reason Why No One Takes Potheads Seriously

As if we need to keep adding to the list.


Pig Eats Owner's Pot, Man Has A Meltdown

Spohn was "highly agitated" and uncooperative with deputies and, after a tussle, “had to be subdued with a Taser in order to be placed under arrest.” He was charged with disorderly conduct by intoxication and resisting arrest, both misdemeanors....Upon arriving at the Spohn residence in Waterford, deputies learned from Spohn’s wife Heather that he was upset over their marital problems and "because their pig had ate all of his marijuana.” She added, “Chad gets upset when he does not have marijuana.”

You just can't make this sort of stuff up.

Here's a judge who gets it.

Damned shame that he couldn't just give this punk and his pals the death penalty, but still...

Murderer’s unusual sentence: Each year in prison, 1 day alone

To sum it up, five potheads murdered a Korean War veteran because they wanted to steal his guns and sell them to buy weed. The judge in this case just sentenced one of his killers to spend the anniversary of the murder in solitary confinement for as long as he remains in prison so that he can reflect on what he did.

It's because of soulless little bastards like these guys that many of the rest of us keep and train with firearms. Thomas Whitson, the victim here, kept a pistol for protection against criminal attackers, too. Sadly, the threat here came from within as one of the potheads was the vet's own grandson, who snuck into his house and murdered him while he slept. He got life without parole.

Kudos to Judge Knece for not letting anyone forget about the victim here, especially one of his killers.

They keep saying that gun owners are the problem in America...

At rallies all over the country these past couple of years, armed gun owners have come together en masse to demonstrate peacefully and petition their government to simply leave them alone. No one has ever been shot at any of these gatherings despite the frequent pronouncements by the left that we gun owners are insatiably violent paranoids who are responsible for all of America's problems, including the recent Boston bombings, the crash of both space shuttles and the Lindberg baby kidnapping.It's an undeniable, indisputable fact that gun owners gathered together in groups small or large present no threat to anyone and cause no problems whatsoever save ill feelings in the stomachs of freedom-hating politicians.
Non-violent:


But then bring a few thousand drug users together to collectively break the laws and what happens? People get shot, even with a heavy police presence right there.
Violent:

And still, Barack Obama and America's Democrat party work aggressively to crush the rights of the first group while pandering to the second group and giving them the ok to break our existing laws. Can anyone explain this to me?

I think that if you're a Democrat, you must think that heaven is a never-ending pot party at a UAW-organized auto plant with a few thousand illegal aliens serving up the food and circulating voter-registration cards.

Meanwhile, back in the American heartland:

Family now admits Trayvon Martin was a drug user as they start looking for people to sue

And he was serving a suspension from school for possessing marijuana on the day that he was killed. And while it's still not clear if the photos circulating the internet that were allegedly from the kid's Facebook and other social media sites and which show him throwing gang signs and posing with guns and drugs are real, it's becoming clearer that he was no choirboy.

Still, George Zimmerman, the man who shot Trayvon Martin and who was apparently beaten by Martin before firing the shots, is probably going to wind up indicted before too much longer, and yes, that will probably happen in part because of the "outrage" of so many people, most of whom know even less about the events surrounding the shooting than I do, which is damned little indeed. Zimmerman screwed up when he perceived Martin as a threat, according to his own 911 call, and then exited his vehicle and began following Martin on foot instead of remaining in his vehicle as he'd been instructed to do by the 911 dispatcher. A claim of self-defense requires that the claimant have clean hands and not have done anything to escalate the situation into one where the use of deadly force would have been otherwise appropriate. Zimmerman, by leaving his vehicle and pursuing Martin, did just that. If he was formally trained as Florida's law requires for those who wish to carry a firearm for self-defense, he should have known better. That concept is a cornerstone of the NRA's 8hr Personal Protection course or comparable training that Florida's concealed carry law mandates.

I wish Zimmerman luck, because he's going to need it to get out of the fix that he put himself in. And as for all of the Martin supporters who claim to be so upset over the death of one black male at the hands of "some white guy", I have to ask them all where the anguish is for all of the other people--white, black, male, female, children and senior citizens--who are killed every day in this country by other black males? Is just this death and this death alone worthy of getting angry about? And would any of these people be angry today had Martin the black male just killed Zimmerman or anyone else for no real reason last month? Sadly, I think that we all know the answers to these questions.

Oh, and in the latest development, Martin's mother has spent some cash ($325.00 per filing) to try to trademark her son's name. Apparently this "grieving family" is starting to see the dollar signs flying around, and since there's no handy police department or big corporation to sue, they're planning to go after anyone who utters or prints the phrases “I Am Trayvon” or “Justice for Trayvon". Someone had better warn Obama before she trademarks "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon."

A tale of two potheads

I suppose I should say "two foreign-born, resident alien potheads, one of whom has political clout..."

The story begins for all intents and purposes, when Charlie Castillo, a Canadian-born man of Maltese descent who had lived here virtually his whole life--long enough to raise a family, work for and retire from General Motors--got arrested ten years ago for possession of marijuana.

(Full and rather long story here.)

Charlie Castillo was ordered deported, arrested by ICE this past December (just before Christmas), and tossed out of the country--probably forever--despite having a wife, kids, home and pension here.

Wow. Tough break. But if that's the way it's supposed to work, one would expect it to work that way in every similar case, right? Apparently not, though, at least not if you are a foreign-born British citizen who is also an HIV-positive homosexual and a staunch public critic of the American Conservative movement, particularly Governor Sarah Palin. Andrew Sullivan, political commentator and blogger who has faithfully carried the Democrats' water for years despite not even being eligible to vote in our country's elections, has managed to get a marijuana case against himself dismissed on the grounds that the conviction would harm his efforts to become a US citizen.

(That story here.)

As you can see, even the judge was irked by the blatant special treatment that Sullivan got, apparently due to some back-room deal between the US Attorney's office and Sullivan’s attorney, Robert Delahunt Jr. Notably, this Delahunt is the cousin of U. S. Rep. William D. Delahunt, who as a District Attorney in Massachussetts dismissed Amy Bishop's murder case without explanation after she shot her brother to death in 1986. Clearly the special favors don't fall far from the tree where Delahunts are concerned.

Welcome to America, post-Obama, where the politically-connected are protected and allowed to break our laws with impunity while mere proletarians are subject to the full weight of those same laws. As it stands today, two potheads were arrested. One who has been here since he was a small child has now been separated from his family and booted out of America forever. The other, a man who came here as an adult and has no wife or kids to provide for, gets to stay and continue his petition for permanent residency and eventual citizenship despite having a contagious terminal disease that should have been grounds for barring him from our shores or forcing him out once it was discovered. But this guy has friends in the form of grateful Democrats, so he gets a pass from the Justice Department which is currently run by Obama Appointee Eric Holder, a man with a long history of questionable political pardons and dismissals.

I wonder what Charlie Castillo and his family think about that? I know what US Magnistrate Judge Robert Collings thinks, because he wrote it in his 12-page opinion.

In the Court’s view, in seeking leave to dismiss the charge against Mr. Sullivan, the United States Attorney is not being faithful to a cardinal principle of our legal system, i.e., that all persons stand equal before the law and are to be treated equally in a court of justice once judicial processes are invoked. It is
quite apparent that Mr. Sullivan is being treated differently from others who have been charged with the same crime in similar circumstances.

If there were a legitimate reason for the disparate treatment, the Court would view the matter differently. But the United States Attorney refused to allow the Court to inquire into why, in the circumstances of this case where Mr. Sullivan had already been charged with the crime, either a forfeiture of collateral or an adjudication would make a difference in the immigration
application.

But there is more. If, in fact, a determination that Mr. Sullivan had possessed marijuana is a factor which, under immigration law, the immigration authorities are legally charged with taking into account when deciding Mr. Sullivan’s application, why should the United States Attorney make a judgment that, despite the immigration law, the charge should be dismissed because it would “adversely affect” his application?9 If other applicants for a certain
immigration status have had their applications “adversely affected” by a conviction or a forfeiture of collateral for possession of marijuana, then why should Mr. Sullivan, who is in the same position, not have to deal with the same consequences?

In short, the Court sees no legitimate reason why Mr. Sullivan should be treated differently, or why the Violation Notice issued to him should be dismissed. The only reasons given for the dismissal flout the bedrock principle of our legal system that all persons stand equal before the law.

Welcome to Obama's America, where all are equal, but some are more equal than others.

A note to stupid criminals--it's usually smart to keep your mouth shut.

Rule #1 when you're running a clandestine dope-growing operation: Don't give interviews to the media bragging about it.

Dope grower Chris Bartkowicz, of Highland Ranch Colorado, apparently never heard this. He actually gave an interview to the local news outlets bragging about how he turned his house into a dope factory with the hope of cashing in on the "medical marijuana" craze.

"I'm definitely hidden in suburbia," he said.

A jungle of electrical wires and water hoses snakes from room to room in the home's basement, all supporting Bartkowicz's nearly $500,000 medical-marijuana operation.

This year, he is hoping for a record profit.

"I'd like to see somewhere in the vicinity of $400,000 " he said, though he admits he could make as little as $100,000 depending on what happens with proposed laws regarding medical marijuana.

Bartkowicz said he has grown for more than a year without his neighbors finding out and without any criminal complications.

"If my neighbors don't know and no one else knows, how would I be a target?" he said. "I want to be invisible."

Bartkowicz must route air from the home through a carbon filter to remove the marijuana odor before pumping it outside. Lights and pumps get expensive too. He showed 9Wants to Know his electric bill for two months. He owed $3,694.92, a small price to pay for what he earns, he said.

"I'm definitely living the dream now," he said.

A drug dealer bragging openly about his defiance of the law. Only in a Blue State...

However Bartkowicz' boasting didn't go unnoticed for long. Today's 9News had a related story, but from a different angle.

HIGHLANDS RANCH - Federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents raided a Highlands Ranch home on Friday and arrested a medical marijuana grower who was part of a 9Wants to Know story about suburban medical marijuana growing operations.

After 9NEWS showed a tease for a story about Bartkowicz and his operation Thursday night, DEA agents decided he needed a visit. By Friday afternoon DEA agents were at the house carrying away moving boxes and leaf-size trash bags from his home, all filled with marijuana plants.

They also carried away lights, filters and other equipment that were part of Bartkowicz's growing operation.

In the earlier interview, Bartkowicz claimed his operation was completely legal under a state law that allows the growing and sale of medical marijuana.

The special agent in charge of the DEA in Denver says federal law still makes growing and selling marijuana illegal.

"According to him and according to what he's seen on the news he probably believes he is legal," Jeff Sweetin said late Friday afternoon. "We will continue to enforce federal law that's what we are paid to do until the federal law changes."

Bartkowicz is in custody and will not learn what charges he might face until Tuesday, after the President's Day holiday. The U.S. Attorney's office told 9NEWS Friday if he is charged, he could face a charge of possession with intent to distribute. The U.S. Attorney will review the evidence and the decide on the charges.

Hey, moron...you still living the dream?

They call it "dope" for a reason. And I note for the record that this guy himself claimed to be a "medical marijuana" patient. But then all the dopers and drug addicts in Colorado are making that claim these days, almost all for aches and pains that no doctor can actually see or disprove. The voters passed a law allowing the drug for actual sufferers of chronic pain and the addicts jumped right on it and began gaming it by claiming to all have some sort of pain that can't be treated any other way. Hopefully the Colorado voters are waking up to the fact that they were gulled by a pro-legalization lobby that trotted a few cancer-stricken elderly people out in front of them, claiming that they were the people that needed medical marijuana. Now it's every twenty year old skateboarder and x-box player who is going around with a medical marijuana card, each pretending to be disabled in some way.

It's time to change the law back, Colorado. And people in other states that are considering legalizing marijuana for so-called medical use, please take note of the massive fraud going on in Colorado today and just say no.

If we legalize it, we can have even more whacked-out naked drug dealers running around.

Ironic, isn't it? One of the larger and more persistent groups of potheads demanding that we repeal the laws against marijuana and other drugs (laws that they don't obey anyway) is the Colorado college student community (Parents, remember this when your kid says that he or she wants to go to school in Colorado.) and the unwashed hippie crowd that hangs around on it's fringes, so it's interesting that this stunning display of a pothead in action--and not just any pothead but a supplier to other potheads under the "legal for medical purposes" ficton--comes to us from Colorado.

While Greeley and other cities debate medical marijuana, a bizarre case east of Greeley last weekend may fuel arguments about the issue.

The incident took place last Friday near Dearfield on U.S. 34, about 30 miles east of Greeley. According to arrest reports, a naked man hit and damaged vehicles, walked over the top of one car and spit on a state trooper.

The suspect, Dustin Robbins, 27, of Westminster, told sheriff's deputies he grows medical marijuana and sells it to people who have prescriptions for the drug.

The numerous charges to be filed against Robbins include five counts of indecent exposure, assault on a police officer, driving while under the influence of marijuana, two counts of harassment and reckless driving.

The incident began about 5 p.m. Friday, when Robbins was driving west on the highway and a witness reported his car was swerving into the path of oncoming vehicles, then swerving back out of the way.

When Robbins stopped his car and got out, a witness said he was shirtless and his pants were down around his ankles. He pulled his pants completely off, then stood naked in the middle of the highway, cursing at passing cars and hitting some of them with his fists.

This created a traffic jam, according to witnesses. Two Greeley women in their 70s and 80s later told deputies that a naked man ran at their car, jumped on the hood and broke the windows with his fists and feet, then walked over the roof, down over the trunk and ran away. Damage to the car was estimated at $1,200.

When the drivers called police, the first to arrive was a Colorado State Patrol trooper, who arrested Robbins. It was then that Robbins spit in the trooper's face, according to reports. That resulted in the assault charge.

Deputies who searched Robbins' car said they found 4 ounces of marijuana and a notebook containing certificates for medicinal marijuana. The notebook listed Robbins as the “caretaker” for his customers, who had prescriptions for medicinal marijuana. Deputies did not find a license for dispensing medicinal marijuana.

A test of Robbins' blood at the hospital indicated he was under the influence of marijuana. He remains in the Weld County Jail with a bond set at $50,000.

So Dustin the drug dealer wigs out, and shows us several things wrong with the whole "drugs should be legal, dude" argument.

First we have that fact that typical "medical marijuana" users in places where it has been legalized by gullible voters seems to be mainly young males in their twenties who have no significant medical history aside from some questionable "skateboarding injury" that they claim left them with permanent pain that can't be cured with by treatment except smoking lots of marijuana. It's not old people suffering from terminal cancer or anything like the proponents claimed it was to be legalized to treat--no, it's now being prescribed almost exclusively to otherwise able-bodies young people who--surprisingly--all smoked tons of weed before showing up at the offices of one of a number of doctors who are known in the doper community to give out prescriptions for weed to anyone who asks. The ones that I've met or otherwise observed all seem to do just fine in day to day life. They ride bikes or skateboards, drive cars, some even hold down the sort of dead-end jobs that potheads typically work. In short, they rarely exhibit any of that "severe pain" that they claim to be living with every day...unless someone questions their drug use, that is. Even high school students are using it as an excuse to bring dope to school. It's a scam and a fraud and it's obvious to most people these days.

That aside, even if it weren't a fraud and the only ones authorized to buy and smoke this recreational drug legally were people with actual terminal pain-management issues, we'd still be looking at a situation where people who need the drug have to get it from people like Dustin here--people who aren't otherwise trustworthy and who grow and sell an alleged "medicine" with no tests for purity or potency or safety whatsoever. That's like walking into a pharmacy to get heart medicine and buying unmarked pills from the pocket of some drunk in the parking lot instead of having a licensed pharmacist give you the exact dosage of a medicine that has been tested to ensure that it is both safe and effective and consistent from lot to lot. A so-called "medical treatment" that relies on whatever someone like Dustin carries around in baggies in his socks or down his pants can't be credibly claim any shred of legitimacy.

So I think that it's time that we either put an end to this charade of "medical marijuana" once and for all or institute real controls over who can get it and where they can get it from.
In every state that has agreed to legalize it, the doper community has trotted out the same dozen or so "professional patients" who are supposedly suffering from terminal cases of whatever. They get up and tearfully describe their pain and talk about how no real medicine or treatment makes it go away but weed makes them feel better, and when the legislators or voters agree to make it legal to help these pathetic sideshow phonies, suddenly every third burnout under the age of thirty shows up at a doctor's office claiming to have fallen down or been in a car accident and insisting that the doctor give them what is really nothing more than a hall pass allowing them to possess and smoke as much marijuana as they choose, whenever they choose to smoke it. Drug use goes up, and people like Dustin profit.

So let's end the scam and repeal the laws that allow marijuana for medical use. It's nothing more than a dishonest effort to circumvent laws that the potheads have no intention of obeying anyway, so really all they want us to do is exempt them from the penalties that go along with their choice to break the law. That I can't agree with. We live in a great country that we all govern collectively, and it was set up to allow us to make our own laws, and change them or repeal them if we didn't like them. That said, we can obey the laws, or we can change the laws, but if we start allowing people to just ignore the laws, or dishonestly circumvent them, then it undermines the entire foundation that our legal system is based upon.

So in the name of honesty, and to preserve the integrity of our representative democracy, let's get back to banning the drug for everyone until our society agrees to make it legal for everyone.

Once again, they call it "dope" for a reason.

They say that our youth are our future, but if Jamie Salonen of Sheboygan, Wisconsin is representative of what our nation has to look forward to, I'm selling my bonds.

An 18-year-old Sheboygan woman is facing charges after authorities say she tried to eat marijuana as an officer pulled over the car she was riding in.

Jamie L. Salonen, of 2210 N. 20th St., was charged Friday with misdemeanor marijuana possession and felony bail jumping, the latter charge because having the drug would violate her cash bond on a pending felony marijuana charge. She could face up to three years and six months behind bars, if convicted on both counts.

According to a criminal complaint:

Salonen was a passenger in a car that was pulled over Friday in Sheboygan by a Wisconsin state trooper. The trooper stopped the car after seeing the occupants were not wearing seatbelts, but grew more suspicious after seeing Salonen move around inside.

The trooper came to the door and saw her holding a small bag in her hand that is commonly used to store illegal drugs.

Noting the woman's responses were muffled and she had green material around her mouth and lips, the trooper had Salonen open her mouth, revealing apparent marijuana as well as unknown red and blue pieces inside. There was also marijuana strewn about the passenger side of the car.

Asked why she had marijuana in her mouth, Salonen said she saw it on the floor and then picked it up and ate it. She was described as very emotional and surprised that she was being arrested for the small amount of marijuana.

"I only ate some weed, officer," Salonen said, according to the complaint.

Salonen's pending charge, marijuana possession with intent to deliver, stems from a July traffic stop in which she was allegedly caught burying nine bags of marijuana in wood chips as officers searched her car. She also had a marijuana baggie in her mouth that was discovered during a later search at the police department, a complaint said.

Eighteen year old, and already working on a solid rap sheet, as evidenced by the pending felony charge. Her parents must be so proud...

4/20 arrives again, and like the Daffodils, the pot-heads and stoners spring forth anew...

April 20th is upon us again, and once again we can expect more brain-dead antics from the druggie crowd on some of America's more liberal college campuses, including but not limited to the University of Colorado. Every April 20th, our nation's underachievers gather to smoke dope, somehow thinking that if they all smoke dope at the same time, somehow it will make the rest of us vote to legalize their drug use.

They choose April 20th because it's the 4th month, 20th day and the number 420 is magical to those suffering from reefer madness. This is about the height of cleverness that the rest of us can expect from the pickled-brain crowd.

Sadly, the school officials that parents are entrusting their kids to typically turn their backs on these festivals of law-breaking and local police are just as culpable when they refuse to step in aggressively and hammer as many dopers as possible as hard as the law allows.

On one hand, I feel bad for these losers because they miss out on so much in life when they just sit around trying to bake their brains, but the conservative side of me says that even though they are immature, they're still old enough to know better and they're making their own choices. If they want to condemn themselves to a life of dead-end, minimum-wage jobs, that's really on them. But I draw the line at them doing this stuff at public universities that are supported by my tax dollars, even "universities" where someone like Ward Churchill is looked upon as something more than a fraud. (You know that someone there is smoking something just from that.)

The potheads even have a spokesperson (spokestoner?) and wanna-be leader who says that they need to learn to dress and act appropriately and lobby for the right to abuse drugs.

BOULDER, Colo. — A self-described conservative "soccer mom" told marijuana legalization advocates that they'll need to do more than smoke pot in public to get drug laws changed during a speech on the University of Colorado campus Saturday.

Jessica Corry, the executive director of the Colorado Civil Rights initiative, said 4/20 "smoke-out" events like the one planned for Farrand Field on Monday are a good way to bring attention to the issue.

But she said people fighting marijuana prohibition also need to participate in the political process -- and, she said, advocates need to show lawmakers a sober, serious side as well.

"They're laughing at us," she said. "The 4/20 events are fine... but let's also get people down to the Capitol in suits."

One thing she said is true, stoners. The rest of us are laughing at you. and we'll still be laughing at you in ten years or so when you're out of college and working hard at the local Fotohut because it's the only job that you could manage to get and hold onto.

How's that song go again? Oh yeah...

I was gonna put on a suit, but I got high.
Was gonna see my Congressman too, but I got high.
Now I'm 40, unemployed and in jail, and I know whyyyyyy....
Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high...

Pathetic losers. And the only ones more contemptible are the parents of these punks who write their tuition checks every semester, usually knowing good and well that their little over-indulged Jeff Spicoli clone is never going to amount to a damned thing and is only occupying a seat in classes that decent kids with actual futures could be making use of.

Nebraska pothead busted trying to smoke a cat

Admittedly my first thought was that I didn't know that Michael Phelps even had a cat.

But then I read on and saw that it was just some basic, garden-variety pothead from Nebraska--some punk that's so successful in life that he still lives in his grandparents' house.

A man who tried to mellow out his cat by stuffing her into a homemade bong is facing criminal charges — and catcalls from animal lovers.

Lincoln-area authorities cited 20-year-old Acea Schomaker on suspicion of animal cruelty Sunday after catching him smoking marijuana from a contraption that had a cat stuffed inside its 12-inch by 6-inch base.

Schomaker told Lancaster County sheriff's deputies the 6-month-old female named Shadow had been hyper and that he was trying to calm her.

The cat was taken to the Capital Humane Society, where she appeared to be in good condition Monday, executive director Bob Downey said.

"What the human mind doesn't invent, huh?" Downey said.

Schomaker did not return voice or text messages left on his cell phone by The Associated Press.

Deputies discovered the cat trapped in the device after responding to a domestic disturbance call at a residence that Schomaker shares with his grandfather, Sgt. Andy Stebbing said.

Deputies resolved the dispute and left the house, but they returned minutes later after discovering there was an arrest warrant on Schomaker that alleged possession of drug paraphernalia.

Upon re-entering the house, Stebbing said, deputies saw Schomaker smoking marijuana through a piece of garden hose attached to the duct-taped, plastic glass box, in which the cat had been stuffed.

"This cat was just dazed," Stebbing said. "She was on the front seat of the cop car, wrapped in a blanket, and never moved all the way to the humane society."

Schomaker was cited for misdemeanor animal cruelty and taken to the Lancaster County Jail on the arrest warrant. He was released after paying a $400 fine.

Now Schomaker faces new charges for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia stemming from Sunday's incident.

Stebbing said the animal cruelty charge could be raised to a felony if the cat dies or is found to have suffered injury.

Downey said tests would be done to determine whether the cat suffered lung damage.

"To the eye, the cat looks OK," he said. "It cowers in the back of its cage like it's a little bit afraid but, obviously, given the way it's been treated, that's not surprising to me at all."

Now what cracks me up is that every time I bash drug users--particularly potheads--I get a ton of replies (most of which get deleted for obscene language) from people who claim to smoke weed every day while holding down important jobs and living in expensive houses. Yet it's funny how none of the potheads in these stories seem to rise above a lifestyle characterized by unemployment and sponging off the family for a roof overhead. And for that matter, most every pot smoker that I've ever arrested was either some loser who would never make it to college or who was in college on the parents' dime and petrified that mom and dad would find out about the arrest. In fact they usually bawl about how their parents will stop paying their tuition if word gets back to mommy and daddy that their little scholar was smoking up the money meant for textbooks and lab fees. I can't recall meeting many successful adults who smoke marijuana. But that's because I tend to hang around with winners, and dope-smoking is the providence of the life-losers.

You know--the kind of losers who still live with Grampy and try to smoke the cat instead of getting a job.



EDITED TO ADD: Lagniappe just informed me that he's also 100% anti-drug but that he's all for smoking cats. He says that they should be marinated and smoked over hickory chips at about two hundred degrees for at least an hour.

"Drugs should be legal, dude!"

So sayeth the potheads, Libertarians and other under-employed, patchouli-reeking basement-dwellers. But I've always opposed legalized drugs, and Shea Rosen here makes my argument better than I ever could. read on- potheads...another one of your own has achieved infamy.

A drugged-up, wealthy Long Island teen with an accident-riddled driving record plowed into a young couple out for an evening jog, killing a popular teacher and leaving her boyfriend critically injured, authorities said yesterday.

Shea Rosen, 19 - who lives with his mother in a $6 million "Gold Coast" mansion in Brookville - was flying high as he cruised southbound on a busy stretch of Route 110 in Huntington at around 7:25 p.m. Thursday. He later claimed he never saw the two victims.

Amanda Malloy, 29, and Vincent Saunders, 32, were smashed from behind and dragged a short way before Rosen stopped his Dodge Durango, police said.

Malloy, a fourth-grade teacher, died at the scene, while Saunders, a bouncer and martial-arts enthusiast, was seriously injured and taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital in Manhattan.

This marks the fourth car crash this year for Rosen, according to DMV records. Sources said at least one of his previous smash-ups led to injuries, but the details were not known.

Cops said he smelled of marijuana and looked unsteady after the crash. He also had three unidentified pills in his sock, officials said.

He was charged with driving while intoxicated and ordered held on $1 million bail while authorities await the results of a court-ordered breath test.

Last night, Malloy's sister Becky, 27, lashed out at the teen.

"I'm angry. I want him to go to jail for what he took away from this world," she told The Post. "He took away an angel. She touched everyone's life she came across."

Officials at JFK Intermediate School in Deer Park had to break the news to the young students.

"I feel very sad," said 10- year-old Michael Theiling, who welled up in tears after class. "I like Miss Malloy. She was a very nice person."

Rosen told cops he was headed home after picking up his paycheck at the Prime Restaurant, where he worked as a busboy.

Malloy and Vincent had been working out together at a nearby gym when they decided to take their fateful, six-mile jog. Like Vincent, Malloy was a martial-arts expert who held a black belt.

They were running close to the curb when they were hit from behind, leaving two large dents in Rosen's car.

"They never saw it coming," said Suffolk County Detective Sgt. Bruce Markgraf.

But Rosen refused a breath test, telling cops: "I'm not taking anything. No way am I taking it. I didn't see her. She was running in the road."

Rosen, whose Facebook picture shows him giving the middle finger, was still in custody last night on the $1 million bond.

Saunders was fighting for his life, with injuries to his heart and legs.

That's two more really good people whose lives have been ruined--and in one case ended--because a spoiled trust-fund pothead decided that, laws be damned, he was going to get high. This is why drugs like marijuana are illegal. And this is why I believe that people who grow, sell or use marijuana should be hit with harsh penalties.

I don't even know Amanda Malloy and Vincent Saunders, but I suspect that their lives were more promising and valuable than those of any thousand stoners like Rosen. Isn't that right, Jack Herer?

Still getting pothead hate mail

I'm still getting angry hate mail from potheads upset that I criticized their choice to waste their lives getting stoned in that post that I wrote a couple of weeks ago.

Tonight I got this piece:

you're generalization that all people who smoke marijuana are "dumb dopers" and tend to "finish out their lives in video stores" only shows your ignorance. You are an evil, mean, disgusting person who thrives off of hate and wakes up in the morning only with the hope of belittling your fellow man. I feel sorry for your parents and friends for having to put up with your totalitarian intolerance . @#$%&*.

First of all, it's "Your", not "you're", so that's one for capitalization and one for grammar. And it kind of makes my point about dopers, don't you think?

I've also had more than one writer tell me that I need to "loosen up and experience life" and that my narrow-minded attitude about drugs restricts my ability to do this somehow.

Well kiddies, if you checked out this blog and got to know me, you'd see that I'm a pilot, a gun collector and accomplished competitive shooter, and you'd see that I scuba dive when I'm not flying planes or shooting guns. I couldn't do any of these things if I used drugs. It's not only illegal, but it's dangerous. Why would I want to trade all of those things for a few puffs on some dead plant material? When it comes to life, we all have to make choices. I choose to keep my senses about me and enjoy doing things a little more adventurous then getting high and eating Doritos. So if the stuff I do isn't enough life experience for you, please tell me what fun things a stoner can legally do, besides the obvious--sitting on an old couch in the parents' basement smoking dope, eating junk food and playing video games. Any time you want to stack your lives up against mine, just bring 'em.

Pothead in action

See? Now THIS is what the typical marijuana user is all about.

DOTHAN, Ala. -- A Dothan man attempting to report to his probation officer and pay some fines was re-arrested when he emptied his pockets for a metal detector at the Houston County Courthouse and laid out more than the usual coins and keys.

Two baggies full of marijuana came out, too, authorities said.

Malcom Williams, 51, tried to escape when the drugs appeared Thursday, but he was caught after a minor struggle and a failed attempt to Taser him, sheriff's officers said.

"He reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful with change, U.S. currency, keys, and the marijuana was evident in his hand," Houston County Sheriff's Capt. Antonio Gonzalez said Friday. "Every now and then you have somebody who forgets what he had in his pockets."

They call it "dope" for a reason. And as much as the trust-fund kids in Boulder claim otherwise, this guy is how most drug users turn out.

A week later, and the pothead kids are still mad.

I'm still getting several nasty e-mails from the pothead community in response to last week's article on the druggies at University of Colorado in Boulder in which I opined that even though dopers are pretty much societal residue with no real value to the rest of us, law enforcement and the college still have an obligation to try to save many of them from themselves by arresting them and shutting down the drug culture by any means necessary. And I stand behind that thought.

We need to bring the drug war full-scale to Boulder and other places where drug dealers and their customers feel safe and start cracking down. Every user needs to be forced into a treatment program and assigned to perform community service, maybe cleaning our parks in bright orange jumpsuits that say "I have no self-esteem so I got high" on the back. Every dealer who sells drugs needs to spend time in jail, ideally one like that set up by Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio. You want to sell drugs on campus? Fine. Your next ninety days will be spent living in a tent inside a barbed wire fence somewhere along the front range and you'll eat baloney sandwiches or MRE's every day and perform whatever labor they deem proper. You can't sell dope on campus if you're not there, can you? And repeat offenders get barred from Boulder County. The school also needs to drug test students and require treatment for users and expulsion for anyone caught possessing or selling drugs.

That sort of thing will cure the problem and give CU back the credibility that it once had as an actual institution of higher learning. Right now it's just got a reputation as a party school that turns out hard-drinking drug users and I for damned sure would have to think long and hard before offering a job to anyone with a CU degree.

When I went to CU Boulder as a visiting student one semester some years back, I was astounded that they dared impose a "zero-tolerance" ban on firearms anywhere on school grounds under which the possession of even a single legally-owned gun would get you expelled. But illegal drugs were and still are just fine, according to the same campus administrators. You can't hunt, target shoot of defend yourself in Boulder but you can smoke your brains out...that's ok in that Bizarro world.

Now since posting my original piece, this site has been deluged with posters, mainly from the Boulder area, who have fallen into a predictable rut. First they call me names or otherwise insult me and this site. Then they post some cut-paste crap from other pro-drug advocacy sites and try to pass it off as their own. (Yes, stoners, I check. I guess your weed binging makes you too lazy to write your own stuff.) Then they try to convince me that they all have great jobs at places like NASA, own nice homes and don't live with their parents any more, and have the respect and admiration of everyone around them. Of course they also admit that everyone around them smokes pot too, so how hard is it to be the most respected and admired person in a group of slackers? Not very, I'm guessing. I'm also guessing that most are really living in campus dorms that their folks pay for and they hope to someday graduate and find a job that doesn't require drug-testing and/or is willing to overlook a record of arrests for drug use, minor in possession of alcohol, drunk in public, and the like.
Sadly, I see a lot of them heading for career positions as stockboys at the local Sam's Club. They'll learn that good employers don't want immature dope-smoking kids with below-average scholastic records (that means "grades" for you potheads), no matter how many times that their over-indulgent parents have told them how special they are.

Now I turned off the option which allows just anyone to post comments here, but I still allow comments to be sent for my review and if anyone has a comment that does not use obscene language or insult me personally, and which offers some substantive contribution beyond "Dude, you've got to free your mind and fight the man..." then feel free to submit it and I'll probably approve it.

Still, I'm betting that all I get is a bunch more "Dude, you're ignorant...@#$%& you!". However, being mature enough to handle that, and being a benevolent dictator here, I'm actually inviting more rational and at least semi-mature comments.

Colorado gives itself another black eye as "tolerance" of drug activity actually lures potheads to Boulder.

Yesterday was April 20th, and for potheads, the number 420 takes on almost mythical status as they reach out to fellow law-breakers and gather to smoke their dope.

And on this day, as shown in this story, they trek to Boulder, Colorado in large numbers in response to one of the Colorado legislature's many dumb moves, this one being the decriminalization, at least tacitly, of marijuana use. Boulder leads the way of course, as they do in many aspects of disrespect for and disregard of the laws that the rest of this country obeys without crying or even questioning. (They're an illegal alien sanctuary city too...but hey, the drugs have got to get there from Mexico somehow, don't they?)
So on this April 20th, some ten thousand stoners, burnouts, and other life losers all gathered on the Boulder campus of University of Colorado and sat around ingesting drugs and patting themselves on the back for demonstrating their selfish contempt for the law and this country. Some even brag that they chose University of Colorado because of the lax attitude in regard to drugs.

CU freshman Emily Benson, 19, of Kansas City, said she thinks the decriminalization of marijuana will become a hot topic in the upcoming political season and said she felt part of something bigger than just a smoke-out on Sunday.

“We’re at the starting point of a movement,” she said. “This is a big part of the reason I applied here — for the weed atmosphere.”

I'm sure that mommy and daddy are just pleased as punch that you based your educational future on your desire for drugs, Emily. If they read this, I hope that they stop paying your tuition and rent and then you can go find a job behind the counter at some video store, which is how most potheads wind up finishing out their lives.

And good job to you, UC Board. You could have attracted a future doctor, engineer, or scientist, but instead you drew a stoner to suck up a seat instead, even though she'll probably not spend much time in class or ever graduate. So much for the reputation of UC as a serious academic institution. I guess Ward Churchill wasn't embarrassing enough, eh?

Sadly the police took no action, citing the disparity in numbers between their force and the size of the druggie gathering.

CU police handed out zero citations.

“At this point, none are anticipated,” said CU police Commander Brad Wiesley.

Officers in the past have gone to great lengths to catch people in the illegal act of smoking pot on 4/20.

In 2006, CU police dispatched undercover photographers to snap pictures of smokers. Photos of 150 alleged offenders then were posted on the department’s Web site, and witnesses were offered $50 to positively identify the suspects — who then were ticketed. Another year, smokers on Farrand were doused with sprinklers.

“We can’t do the same thing year after year,” Wiesley said hours before Sunday’s smoking began. “So I doubt we’ll do anything like the pictures. ... There’s no way our 12 to 15 officers are going to be able to deal with a crowd of 10,000. We just can’t do strong enforcement when we’re outnumbered 700 or 800 to one.”

About 15 CU officers and a half-dozen deputies with the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office had a presence Sunday among the mass of pot smokers...

I call BS. They still could have made an effort to snag at least a few of them, or work to either ID them or drive them off as they've done in the past, and they could have brought in more help from off-duty officers and other jurisdictions. But they cowed and just let the overgrown adolescents have the day and the campus, granting them even more claim to legitimacy. At least if they'd made even a token effort to punish people, there would not be the impression that it's really ok to flout the law and smoke dope. But as the illegal aliens and the Anti-American anti-war vandals have proven time and time again, if you defy the law in a large enough group, no one will ever make an effort to hold you accountable.

The Colorado legislature should be ashamed, and the city council of Boulder should be impeached and removed, as should the command staff of the university police force. Evil triumphs when good men do nothing, and if it's pot today, how long until these pathetic societal dropouts start smoking crack or ingesting heroin in the streets.

Oh wait, we already know that one. If this was a group of black people smoking crack, arrests would have been made and the Boulder jail would be bursting with black prisoners. But since it's spoiled and pampered rich white kids breaking the law...

Justice for all? Rarely if ever when Liberals are in charge.

More proof that the whole "Medical Marijuana" thing is a scam

According to this story from WBIR.com, high school students in Sand Diego are now acquiring "medical marijuana" cards and using them as an excuse for having drugs and being high at school. This is of course the consequence of Califonia voters decriminalizing marijuana for "medical reasons". (Way to go, Liberals!)

Some exerpts:

District official Catherine Martin said they are concerned over the growing trend and the "apparent ease" with which teens are able to obtain the cards.

...

Recently two East County teenagers were suspended for showing up at school high, with a medical marijuana card as their excuse, NBC 7/39 reported.

During a series of recent undercover sting operations, district attorney investigators identified four or five local doctors who are issuing cards or prescriptions without proper exams or follow up medical care.

...

San Diego District Attorney Narcotic Chief Damon Mosler told NBC 7/39 a bogus symptom and some cash is all a teenager needs to obtain a medical marijuana card.

Fantastic, huh? Forgetting for a moment that the whole idea that only marijuana can somehow alleviate pain for some "sick" people, now thanks to stupid voters and bad parents we see high school kids scamming drug-user cards from crooked doctors and/or forging them so that they can carry pot around and toke up wherever. Makes me glad that the Californicators on the Left Coast don't run the country even though one of their kookiest Congressional Representatives (Nancy Pelosi) runs Congress now.
