First off I do NOT like or use mind altering drugs, including alcohol.
With that said I used to support the WOD... BIG MISTAKE!
I now know that the War on ‘Drugs’ was and still is a a ‘Gateway Law’ or legislation that has eviscerated a major portion of the bill of rights and the first ten amendments to the constitution.
The War on Drugs legislation left America and it’s citizens open to the “War on Terrorism” and the terrible legislation that followed it.
So now a days we have ‘civil forfeiture’ for having too much cash, theft of homes and property for having ‘drugs’ on it or being used by people there. We all know or of heard of unscrupulous law ‘enforcement’ planting ‘evidence’ and stealing cars, homes... ranches, even whole small businesses have been wiped out by these tactics.
So to make a long post shorter let’s just say that I approve of this Jury nullification and hope that many, many more follow in it’s tracks.
Nicely put!
Good post
