"...and busts the huge, two-ounce producing operation. Gawrsh, two ounces!"
Would you mind if I put 2 oz. of meth into your kids? Two ounces is one hell of a lot of meth. And I don't believe that 2 oz. represents the total production, completed or contemplated.

All I said was that the old biddy probably had her lover hooked. That was humor. You people have your sphincters so tight you poop diamonds. Check your stool.
Sheriff Joe is a publicity fiend. It's common knowledge. If you don't believe that, lawdude, then you obviously ain't don't know a damn thing about Arizona. I've lived there. Joe is a good man, but he loves bein' on TV. I don't doubt these people were breaking the law, and I don't doubt they deserved to be busted for it.
That you want to parody people you don't agree with is fine, but turnabout is fair play, and it's pretty easy to parody lawdude and you, Radarboy. All I have to do is squawk 'What about the CHILDREN?!?!' a few dozen times, never mind that the SENIOR and her 44-year-old lover likely didn't have any kids around in Leisure World, where kids are probably against the covenants. I wouldn't be surprised if even being 44 years old in a house there is breaking a covenant, too. But I never intimated that anyone give kids any meth. Sure, Loverboy might have been selling it to kids. But who the hell knows from this article? Set up your straw man somewhere else, lawdude.
As usual, y'all are the first to assume that drugs and anything/anyone touching them are evil, wicked and nasty. Because we all know that what's legal can't be evil, while what's illegal must be. Sort of like civil rights in South Africa, or gun rights in Australia, they're illegal so they must be wrong. You don't believe it represents the total production because drugs are E-Vil. Icky-poo.
Illegalizing any THING causes more people to commit illegal acts in getting and keeping that now-valuable-because-it's-illegal THING. I'm not for legalizing anyone harming others, for example, your idea to give meth to kids, just like I'd never say you should set a cat on fire or drag a man behind a pickup because of his skin color. Evil acts have happened and will and should continue to be illegal because they are HARMING OTHERS.
But I have no idea what these people did to hurt anyone, and neither do you. So you're just yapping about what might happen if someone gives kids something kids shouldn't have. That's like banning guns because kids might find them, or the Mideast states banning the Bible, just because kids might get the book and convert.
I'm sure you'll respond with a diatribe about how they could have blown up the house with that meth lab and how the neighborhood was primed for a drive-by or something. Fire away, Carrie Nation.
