Thankfully, no one was killed by bloodthirsty police playing with their toys.

You think this poor Democrat was a Kafkaeque victim of the police state? You're hoping that, when Trump becomes prez, there will be free drugs and high times for all?

No...my wife and I were on the receiving end of a SWAT raid instigated by a neighbor with an ax to grind...my wife STILL has nightmares about it. This was in the so-called ‘Free State’ of soviet Red Hampshire, may its citizens rot in hell. Enjoy the taste of that jackboot polish, oh leaper to conclusions.

One day this feller from Washington come by
And he spied us and he turned white as a sheet
And he dug and he burned
And he burned and he dug
And he killed all our cute little weeds
Then he drove away
We just smiled and waved
Sittin’ there on that sack of seeds

I see. So in your view, this poor Democrat drug-dealer is an innocent victim of a jack-booted police state.

Don’t put words in my mouth, RINO. It sounds like YOU approve of police terrorizing innocent people (didn’t say these particular people were innocent) and dogs on a daily basis. Can’t break an omelette with breaking a few eggs, I guess.

Out state won’t protect innocent unborn life but it will confiscate your belongings for growing a plant.

Party not mentioned, thus DEM and a simple search says YES.

“you guys probably know this but how much money can you make from one marijunna plant?”

Depending on the skill of the grower, the type of cannabis grown, and the sort of equipment that they used, the range is anywhere from about $200-$1500 per plant.

Yeah, they are a real danger to you and the public . . . somehow. This will make your life better with them in prison. You will be able to sleep at night. I am so happy for you.

yeah, how many times have you had dealings with drug dealing biker gangs? Did you feel comfortable about it? Did you think customer service was their #1 concern? Were there glowing reviews on them on Angies list? Would you recommend it to a friend?

I knew it had to be a Rat, but, of course, that fact is not mentioned until almost the end of the peace. Surprise! Surprise!

Cops generally seize the property in these grow cases, whether or not the owner knows about it.

Since she’s a dim, what do you bet it’s not even considered.

Regardless of party affiliation, if they are not slinging dope to kids, I don’t care if they grow their own.

You don't like getting your drugs from independent business-minded biker gangs? You'd rather have Democrats grow them for you?

“It looks bad – there’s a lot of plants in there, but you’re getting a little bit off of each plant,” said Harrington. He said he’s just a disabled veteran, trying to manage his pain naturally, and without drugs or opioids. “As far as I was concerned nothing that I did, not one leaflet, not one particle has left this property…It’s just for me.”

Fine, but what are the other 178 plants for?

Police called the site “an indoor marijuana cultivation operation,” and confiscated guns, cash and the pot. Matheson and Harrington said they also took a generator, weed eater, pressure washer, TVs, a computer, van and a four-wheeler, though, Harrington said aside from busting some light bulbs, they left all of his grow equipment that he would need to start up again.

For some reason I find this funny.
