He’s more than a reporter for SeeBS - he’s the bureau chief: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb-staff/2010/10/02/special-open-thread-cbs-radio-d-c-bureau-chief-busted-growing-pot-backyard

I'm not supposed to enjoy this.

But I do.

“with intent to distribute”

That raises the stakes bigtime.

[Dem Guard]

He has quite a nose for pot!

A whole lotta so what? Now every media hack is going to add a few cups of paranoia to their daily diatribe. I'd rather have stoners running the state media than uptight,bitter trolls and nags who are way past mid-life and relax by lighting up a bowl instead of getting laid, which they can only do by prescription anyway.

What's the difference?

Police executed a search warrant at the home Saturday after a tip from an area resident

Must have ticked someone off.

Dude looks like he needs a toke or two to take the edge off.

[Sooth2222]

The DCPD must have seen this as an irresistible opportunity for an arrest and conviction of a highly visible target of opportunity.

Since he's a lib, there was zero chance of any LEO being shot in the raid, too.

What was he thinking? (Of course, he wasn't). Did he say: "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" when he was arrested?

It’s ok, they were going to sell it in California to people with a permit

Ah the modern liberal farmer. I’m surprised there are no residency restrictions on gardening on your city property. Or maybe that’s what led to being exposed?

Wonder who the rat was. My guess is it may have been a Democrat politician who was involved with marijuana and who turned against Arenstein and/or his wife and stabbed him/them in the back.

The DC police don't seem to do much when Democrat bigwigs might be adversely impacted. Their failure to solve the Chandra Levy murder case for more than nine years and counting proves that.

BTW, Yedioth Ahronoth, the Israeli newspaper which employs Mrs. Arenstein, is a low-class tabloid.

Am wondering if this is not more to this than meets the eye. Will suspend judgment until we can see more of the fine print. . .As for the 'neighbor' reporting them. . .don't know; a plausible explanation but also an easy canned explanation. . .

Trust little of Washington Gov/politcs and this close to Elections and with an Israeli Journalist wife working for Israel's largest newspaper -involved here - trust nothing. . .

this guy has done some vile journalism stuff before...a real doper baby lefty
