Without entering the endless WOD flamewar, I will merely note that Rosenthal was growing large quantities of marijuana, publicly. He was daring the Feds to bust him.

This is very much like holding out your hand to an attack-trained doberman and saying "get it!"

He was daring the Feds to bust him.
He was doing what he did with the knowledge, and apparently the blessings, of Oakland city officials. How do you consider that "daring the Feds to bust him"?
