Arlington, Texas — A family with a passion for gardening and conscious living was raided by the Arlington SWAT team early Friday morning. All 8 adults present in the house were initially handcuffed at the gunpoint of heavily armed SWAT officers, including the mother of a 22 month old and a two week old baby who was separated from her children during the raid. I had a chance to interview Quinn who gave me his first hand account of the raid and the background behind it all.

Obey your masters! Or else.

“conscious living”

What is that?

“. . .was raided by the Arlington SWAT team early Friday morning. All 8 adults present in the house”

Must be one heck of a party to have eight adults living there.

[Westbrook]

Good thing they didn’t have a dog.

Meanwhile, just East of the Sabine River, thousands and thousand of plants were discovered in three separated plots being grown by Mexican Nationals, 500 miles from the Mexican border!

“We have been targeted by the system because we are showing people how to live without it.”

And that makes them a terrorist threat to our authoritarian nanny state.

After several hours and many requests from the community members, the City Police Officers finally produced two warrants. The first was a Search Warrant for a suspected marijuana growth and distribution operation purportedly being concealed on the premises....... The marijuana warrant was issued based on an unsubstantiated claim by an Arlington City Police Officer of possession of marijuana by one of the community members for which there is no police record.

4th amendment? We don't need no stinkin 4th amendment, we have a war on drugs to fight!

Eight adults in one house? Wonder how many children there are?

And I wonder if any of them are US citizens.

[heartwood]

Maybe they were growing this?

Years ago we found a plot one time in NE Texas that had over 20,000 plants in an area the size of 3 basketball courts. We saw it from the air at 3,000 feet.

"No marijuana or other drugs were found on site and the inhabitants of the premises were all unarmed."

This will probably end badly for the City of Arlington and Tarrant County taxpayers. I wouldnt want their “garden of eden” in my neighborhood, it belongs in a rural enviornment.

[lefty-lie-spy]

I don’t see Savoy Brown on that version of the album cover. Shame.

[MrB]

Actually it does.

The left HATES “preppers”, because they plan on continuing to live independently when the gov’t shuts off the means for others to obtain access to basic necessities.

“Family Raided by SWAT Team for “Weeds””

Tell the SWAT team to buy or grow their own.

[TheThirdRuffian]

Well, I hope the family at least at a poodle or something for the cops to shoot after all that trouble.

Yeah the owner's name Shellie Smith sounds Mexican or possibly Guatemalan.
