DEA raids woman`s Shorewood home after she shops at garden center

Angela Kirkling was driven out of her bed in Shorewood at gunpoint. The DEA had started investigating her because she had made a purchase at a hydroponics shop.

Agents say they thought she was growing pot indoors. Police had also been digging through her garbage and tracking her electrical bill.

Well, there you go. Sometimes I wake up early and go ahead and turn it on especially if it’s a cloudy day with not much sunshine peeking through.

Plants need the light for their energy, but they need to dark to actually grow. Ever notice how plants at sundown seem to magically gotten bigger by sunup. It’s quite interesting to have a garden and observe this stuff.

You have to have a warrant to use thermal imaging on a domicile, which means at that point you can probably apply for a warrant to physically search the house.

For the record, I cant stand Holder but a little clarity is needed on this issue. Nobody has a problem with discretion until they are doing something you disagree with.

Heil Hitler!

If this is discretion, then I have a problem with discretion!

"Discretion" is not in the Constitution.

You answered Your own question.

The locals had already stolen her pot and had the munchies!

But the important thing is that they all got home safe.

My tinfoil clad, black helicopter ridden viewpoint on this is that

they want to target preppers.

No, they weren’t. They were lucky.

All that they thought they knew was wrong.

Oh I heard that they would and if we have martial law, or food shortage they might raid homes, but I’m not surprised.
