We live in a time of double standards.

Muslim: “I smoked some weed. It made me crazy. I threw her off the balcony.”
Court: “Not your fault. No need for a trial here.”

Jew: “I smoked some weed. It made me crazy. I threw my neighbor off his balcony.”
Court: “That’s a hate crime. I don’t think we need a trial. We’ll go through the motions and declare you guilty. Murder in the first degree.”

Bailiff: “Your honor, you want to get stoned after this?”
Court: “I sure do! Tough day. I need to mellow out.”

Not “God”. “Allah” is a proper noun, like Joe or Kamala.

And IIRC, “akbar” is not a superlative and literally means “greater”. Either way, it’s a homophone for the Hebrew word for “mouse”.

Can’t be. FReepes tell me that tokers are NEVER violent. Not even the gang bangers.

Time for Israelis to step up.
American Jews will hide in corners and blame Trump.

...and be arrested by the new constitutional vigilante force.

Just tell them you smoked some pot so you aren't responsible, right?

(in a cheesy Tommy Chong impersonation) marijuana makes you mellow, man, like it’s like totally harmless, man. Bob Marley was another pothead who smoked it so we can “let’s get together and feel all right, mon”

“Whether the disturbance was brought on through voluntary drug use is not a legally important distinction, the court said.”

That’s just stupid. My understanding is such a rule doesn’t apply in most (all?) of the US - if you voluntarily get drunk or high, you’re responsible for whatever follows.

“Allahu Akbar,” or “God is great”


or “My God is greater than yours.”

I’m not sure that qualifies as sarcasm.

Get drunk or high first and they’d be OK according to this idiotic ruling. Right? /SARC For some reason I doubt this defense would apply for a Jew who acted.

In France you are guilty until proven innocent and obviously smoking weed means he was innocent and the woman jump voluntarily

So this tells you what to expect in all the states that are legalizing weed.

Not in Colorado. Voluntary intoxication is generally not a defense to a criminal charge.

One caveat is that a jury may consider evidence of intoxication in evaluating mental state to commit a specific intent crime. Translated from legalese this means 1) he would stand trial here and 2) he might avoid a first degree murder conviction but would surely be convicted of a lesser degree of homicide.

If I were prosecuting the case I would argue that he had consumed this high amount of MJ over such a long time that he had such a high tolerance to allow him to function more or less normally and as a result knew exactly what he was doing. And I think a jury would agree with me.

The French are such nutters.

Let a Jew throw a Mooslim out a window and see what happens.

Fun fact of the day....

Where Did the Word "Assassin" Come From?

The word “assassin” first popped up in English around the 16th century via French and Italian from this Arabic word “hashishin”, meaning “hashish eaters”, which at that point was the commonly accepted name of the legendary Isma’ili group of assassins which had long been wiped out.
