Michigan residents can rest assured because, despite the massive lead contamination of Flint’s entire public water supply, the State has its priorities on point as the government continues doggedly pursuing criminals of the highest order. No, not Governor Rick Snyder, of course — nor anyone else potentially responsible for poisoning an entire city’s population with lead — We’re talking about those awful medical cannabis users and pesky recreational pot smokers. In fact, while well over half of Michigan residents support ending cannabis prohibition, before public education campaigns about potential tax benefits have even kicked off, including 74% of those under 30 years of age and a surprising 51% of those over 60, according to the Detroit News. But arrests for its possession and use are skyrocketing — up 17% between 2008 and 2014, according to state police data, reported MLive. Even more astonishingly, this increase in pot arrests occurred at the same time total arrests for all crime fell 15%. Two-thirds of all drug arrests were related to weed in 2014 — of which 86%, or 20,483, were for use or simple possession of the plant. Such targeting of medical and recreational users by police — Michigan law strictly regulates weed for those with “debilitating medical conditions,” only — has led to a number of outrageous cases in recent times. A state appeals court recently upheld the conviction of 47-year-old medical cannabis caregiver, Alenna Marie Rocafort, in a stunning case about legal technicalities gone horribly awry. Police raided the caregiver’s home in September 2012, seizing 5.6 pounds of the plant she was using to treat seriously ill patients. The courts found this amount far exceeded the 2.5 ounces of “usable” marijuana per patient that caregivers are allotted by law to grow. However, Rocafort’s 5.6 pounds of plant had only been harvested four days prior to its seizure by police, which experts claim is far short of the 10 days it takes harvested pot to properly dry and become viable for use. Defense attorneys thus justifiably argued the caregiver’s weed wasn’t “usable,” so, not illegal — but the case has been lumbering on, wasting taxpayer money to quibble over a definition about a plant which most people don’t view as an illicit substance in the first place. According to MLive, 21 cities in Michigan have brought legalization or decriminalization measures to a vote; and 15 of those cities — including Detroit, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and Lansing — have approved various decriminalization initiatives. In September, state Rep. Jeff Irwin introduced a bill — now backed by six additional representatives — to end cannabis prohibition (HB 4877), which would treat the plant as regulatory, akin to alcohol. Additional legalization measures may wind up on the November ballot if two groups are able to gather enough signatures in time, which now seems highly likely. In short, it seems almost the only people in the State of Michigan who want the prosecution, criminalization, and general prohibition of cannabis to continue are the police and the criminal justice system — the same police and system which have yet to bring charges against anyone for poisoning an entire city. As The Free Thought Project reported in December, Governor Rick Snyder has knowingly allowed children, the elderly and other vulnerable people to face potential lifelong effects of being poisoned by lead in his refusal to investigate contamination claims by Flint residents months ago. They will suffer for the rest of their lives due to his criminal neglect — but, at least, the State is keeping them safe from the numerous benefits of cannabis and the dangerous caregivers who ensure their patients aren’t suffering. It’s time to end the War on Drugs and start to pursue the criminals who deserve to be behind bars — and Michigan would do well to consider Gov. Snyder as a target.

So the agenda crowd suggest that when a mayor of a city breaks the law or does something reckless, the police should stop enforcing laws? Should the fire department let houses burn down too? You moron. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
That you defend the criminal actions (or should I say "inactions"?) of a Republican governor is hardly a surprise. The citizens of Flint have been deliberately poisoned, some have died, and you remain clueless as always. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Wrong person. Governor does not deal with local water issues. Each city deals with there own water. Its the corrupt mayor of Michigan or local corrupt idiots who kept steal the money for his own desire instead of taking care of the water system. At least get it right!
"Book 'em, Danno!"
Snyder refused to take action when the problem was discovered. Republican Cover Up: Criminal Charges Against 3 For Flint Water Crisis But Not Rick Snyder Republicans are doing what they always do after their policies harm innocent people. The Michigan GOP is talking tough about responsibility while throwing low-level employees under the bus. The real criminal who caused the poisoning of the people of Flint, Michigan was Gov. Rick Snyder. Close aides to Snyder say that he knew about the problems with the water in Flint for a year before action was taken. If it can be proven that the governor knew and did nothing for a year, Rick Snyder is criminally responsible for the crisis in Flint. While taking a posture of faux responsibility, Gov. Snyder has tried to blame everyone but himself for lead in Flint’s water. The sham probe that is being conducted by the Republican attorney general in Michigan is the reason why the people of Flint deserve an independent federal investigation into the crisis. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Yet the deliberate poisoning of Flint citizens resulting in several deaths is "no big deal"? What a Republican suck-up! In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much "Book 'em, Danno!" Kevin Arntz cooked his wife because he was hallucinating over marijuana, thought she was the she-devil, at least that's what he told people. So much for the argument that marijuana doesn't hurt anybody.
A Florida District Judge named Joseph Filip is leading the charge on this. In a court-to-school event at Western High School in Parma, FL, he regaled 200 high school students with the grisly story of how Arntz bludgeoned, dismembered and cooked his wife in the taco/pizza restaurant they owned. And why would Arntz commit such a heinous crime? According to Filip, it was weed. Definitely weed. Not the fist-sized brain tumor he'd had, or his history of mental illness. Just some stanky bud. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Compound problem.
Its local city issue. Governor is not the one that deals with local water issue. You can indict a ham sandwich but the truth is the ham sandwich is not in charge of local water lines. The city should have been changing out lines along time ago but there is no political hay to be made with the money if you do what is right. Its as much the peoples problem for electing demoncrats to run their world and look what it got them!
"Book 'em, Danno!"
Sorry. Don't see the connection.
Please post your credentials, where you went to medical school, and any other criteria that would show your expertise in this area. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Snyder knew about the problem, he refused to take action. That makes him just as guilty as the local bureaucrats. Close aides to Snyder say that he knew about the problems with the water in Flint for a year before action was taken. Its as much the peoples problem for electing demoncrats to run their world and look what it got them! Yet a Republican governor refused to take action. We're done here. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Shouldn't you be defending the sex pervert Hastert's admitted child molestation?
In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Someone should. Maybe his lawyer? Hastert went to federal court, stood in front of a federal judge, and pleaded guilty to evading federal currency- reporting requirements. The federal judge then asked Hastert about his sexual activity with minors 30 years ago, and the federal judge admitted he based his federal prison sentence for violating federal currency- reporting requirements on Hastert's response to violating state law, the statute of limitations having expired. Is that acceptable to you? This the kind of "justice" you want?
Stupid The governor didn't poison anybody. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
Good grief - he knew about it and did nothing for a year. Are you Republican party whores too stupid to understand that? Hey - I live in Michigan. I thought Snyder was doing a good job as governor until this. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much And here I thought Deckard was this big anti-establishment, personal responsibility, leave-us-alone-and-get-out-of-our-lives kind of guy. Yet the minute something goes wrong, he's looking for a government official to blame.

In other words, you don't know jack-shit. BTW, you exhibit all the symptoms of Megalomania ...a psychopathological condition characterized by fantasies of power, relevance, omnipotence, and by inflated self-esteem. Historically it was used as a name for narcissistic personality disorder prior to the latter's first use by Heinz Kohut in 1968, and is used today as a non-clinical equivalent. As well as a symptom of pathology, a degree of megalomania is a way of defending against loss in everyday life—a manic defense against the experience of separation and loss. When linked to a position of power, whether military, political, or control-freak bureaucratical. ***** Yeah - that pretty much sums up your personality.

I don't know what he knew or didn't know. But as far as people who did nothing, that would include the EPA, the city and many other officials. And none of them poisoned anybody. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
Of course I know jack-shit ... I have seen enough of the material you have produced over the years to immediately recognize it. No fantasies here ... reality shows that they are all there. Except the inflated self-esteem ... it is not inflated, it is at its maximum level at all times.
Deckard is always looking to find something wrong with anything involving any type of government or compliance to rules and regulations. It is a way of life to him ... it has become his religion. He wakes up each morning to search the Web for any information he can skew and post.
Is it any wonder the sane people here can see what an obnoxious and delusional little weasel you are? In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much And Gatlin refuses to condemn ANY crimes, cover-ups or outright corruption by those in power, including cops who rape kids. At least I'm a realist. You're LF's version of Sgt. Schultz: "I see NOTHING". In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Gee paulsen, you mean the people of Flint were responsible for being poisoned because they trusted the government to DO THEIR FUCKING JOBS? In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much First of all, they were exposed to higher than mandated levels of lead for a short time. People were exposed to much higher levels of lead for much longer times for much of history. I'm not saying that's good, but nobody is dropping dead in the streets. So stop being such a drama queen over something i don't think you give a shit about anyway. You'd have more credibility if you weren't such a one trick pony. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
Since he's always looking for a government official to blame for something, I don't find too much inconsistent here. Since he's singling out the governor of MI, maybe he's a closet Hillary supporter. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
That's no more an argument for banning marijuana than for banning cars. A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them.
Should we ban for all adults everything that might push a mentally unstable person over the edge? A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them.
Like I said, I live in Michigan. You'd have more credibility if you weren't such a one trick pony. Coming from someone who has ZERO credibility, I'll take that as a compliment. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much You live in Flint? I doubt it. Hillary blames the governor too. Are you volunteering for her at a campaign office? Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
Its not his job! Its again locals job to take care of local issues and they did not. Just like NO levees. Not bush's fault its NO corrupt demoncrat from NO that did not invest in local issues even after the money was allocated by the federal government. This is the problem with the demoncrat party heads. They keep the money they are suppose to spend on something for payoffs and demand higher government bodies pay their bills! If you are going to blame someone blame the right people!!
Please tell us that you having made the journey to the dark side ...
Huh? You drunk again or just senile dementia kicking in? Apparently constructing a coherent sentence is not one of your strong suits. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Don't worry about the sentence structure. I was apprehensive that maybe it was you with the "bomb at the TV station" ... talked about now in Breaking News. I was excited to learn if it was you or not ... mixed emotions (wait for it) ... caused me to post in haste.
Should we ban for all adults everything that might push a mentally unstable person over the edge? Of course not, you silly boy. A "woman can use 8 sex moves to drive a man permanently insane” (modesty prevents me from posting the link) … and if you GOTTA go, there probably is no better way to go. Ya Think???
Cars don't smoke marijuana, do they? (Rhetorical Question)
funny grammar spelling sentence drug autism love If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
Of course not, you silly boy. A "woman can use 8 sex moves to drive a man permanently insane” (modesty prevents me from posting the link) … --- Gatlin Please gatlin, post the link! --- We all have the hardly waits to see what kind of porno sites you creep around in...
And Gatlin refuses to condemn ANY crimes, cover-ups or outright corruption by those in power, including cops who rape kids. That is a gross misrepresentation and wholesale distortion. I condemn all those things. Unlike you, I condemn them after a trial by a jury that finds a guilty verdict. Rather than like you reading an article with biased or incomplete information … then pulling an opinion of guilty outta your ass. Big difference between you and me there, sonny boy. Au contraire mon ami, I see EVERYTHING. Furthermore,, I am an extremely knowledgeable person. You should know better, Declard. As for tpaine, there is no excuse … it’s probably hereditary!
Oh good grief man - get the hell over yourself already. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much the 10 Most Common Signs and Symptoms of Autism. 1. Peculiar Toy Habits While to you, the photo may just look like some colored sticks; to an autistic child this is a work of art they’ve mastered for hours. 2. Trouble Relating to Others Autistic children are by no means anymore rude, obnoxious, argumentative, or fussy over any other kid having a moment of misunderstanding. They do however, face challenges grasping to a common ground with their peers, siblings, and even their parents. Remembering that autism is a social disorder, this makes total sense that they struggle making human connections, bonds, and having friends. If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
But you won't indict any of your government gods, so they never get to trial. Thus you endorse crime and ignoring the rule of law, as long as it's some Republican government lowlife sucking on the public teat. You're an R scofflaw. Some people see “what they WANT to see.” You are a classic representation of one who does that. Someone once said: I am in the five percent class … while you are at the bottom of the eighty-five percent group. You must find time to improve your intellect, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance forever. Wait … you have already chosen the latter, right?
[CF:] Should we ban for all adults everything that might push a mentally unstable person over the edge? [G:] Of course not Then why the double standard for stanky bud? A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them.
[G:] Cars don't smoke marijuana, do they? (Rhetorical Question) No, nor does marijuana drive cars - so you still haven't made an argument for banning marijuana rather than cars. A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them.
Is that why you get your anti-pot "facts" from spoof sites? A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them.
I am in the five percent class Uh - no, you really don't. You don't think for yourself, you don't question the status quo, you refuse to consider thoughts and ideas that are not fed directly to you by the MSM and fed.gov. I could go on, but why bother? Your narcissism is only eclipsed by your delusions of adequacy. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Oh good grief man - get the hell over yourself already Wouldn't it be amazing for you to have this kind of self-confidence, every day of the week? Guess what? You can …
Not narcissism ... It’s self-confidence, sport!
3. Sensitive to Sounds Not all, but the vast majority of autistic kiddos have an issue with sounds. They either are completely uninhibited by loud noises, or noise is their worst nightmare. More are on the side of hating noises, but some have the ability to entirely block it out. This can be great for when they need to sleep, or focus in a noisy atmosphere for those that aren’t bothered by noises, but it can also be very dangerous when they aren’t attentive to alarms, cars, or other warning signs around them. 4. Struggle with Change Autistic boys and girls absolutely adore a routine. It doesn’t have to be militant, it just has to be structured as that is what makes them most at ease when they know what to expect. If you are changing classes at school, moving from lunch to reading a book, or removing an iPad to go take a bath; you could very well have a tantrum on your hands in no time. While this can be trying for parents and teachers, keep in mind that knowing generally what their day looks like helps these children stay calm, and confident to complete their tasks for the day. If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
Wouldn't it be amazing for you to have this kind of self-confidence, every day of the week? Guess what? You can … You gonna sell us your DVD series? "Self-Confidence the Gatlin Way"? Truly self-confident people don't windily toot their own horns on the internet. A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them.
5. Speech or Nonverbal Delays A very big warning sign for parents early on in the stages of autism is that their children are very behind for their age in speaking, or they don’t speak at all. Most little ones have a pretty vast vocabulary by the age of three years old, and just by visiting your pediatrician regularly parents have a good idea where their kids sit with this piece of development. 6. Hyperactive or Passive A lot of guys and girls with autism have difficulties with their activity level. Many find it hard to sit still, they fidget repetitively, or have body movements such as rocking or flapping their hands. Often, these movements are just a function that makes them feel calm in any situation and do no harm to them. Some are super hyperactive, and others are completely passive and can hang out quietly all day long. Again, no two kids are the same, nor should they be, but speak with your doctor if their hyperactivity is too much as medication can greatly help. If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
Truly self-confident people don't windily toot their own horns on the internet. Gatlin's spiel reminds me of someone...now who was that guy? Oh - now I remember. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much 7. Attached to Objects Every little one has something they adore at some point in their life. It could be a teddy bear, a blanket, anything. Autistic kids do this as well, but can also become attached to objects you least expect like pencils for example. They may wish to have these “comfort” items with them always, when they sleep, when they eat, or when they are going outside of the home. 8. Lack of Safety Many children on the spectrum experience a lack of understanding what situations place them into harm’s way. Everything from swimming pools, to crossing streets, to not grasping that something it hot and they shouldn’t touch it. Always be fully aware of your child’s development in this area as they can truly hurt themselves even with something as commonly used as scissors at home. If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
9. Inappropriate Emotions Autistic children tend to laugh at very inappropriate times, or they cry when you may least expect it. If another child in their presence is sad or has been hurt, these kids may appear lacking empathy by giggling for reasons they honestly have no idea why they’re laughing. Often when they cry or even smile at inopportune times it is because the subject matter or situation makes them nervous, so they react in any way they think is acceptable. It may look terrible, but it isn’t by any stretch done with malicious intent. 10. Aloof These complex kids generally prefer to be by themselves. They are loners by choice, they may play in the same room with other kids, but if you observe them closely they will play next to their peers, but not with them. While most children would be saddened by not being surrounded by playmates, kids on the spectrum are oblivious to it most often than not. Autism should never be treated like a horrible illness, because it can be enlightening for hundreds of families. These children are incredibly wise, they usually have a unique skill set, and can very interesting people to spend your time with. Before you self-diagnose your children, always have them fully evaluated with a specialist in this field, and try out various types of therapies to see which areas your child can find success with and what things you need to avoid to keep them healthy, safe, and content. If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
Read your question again. It was a poorly worded question … and probably q poorly worded answer. I believe that you are asking my position on MJ. Assuming that you are, I will try to answer as briefly and directly as I possibly can. I really don’t know how I would vote on legalization of marijuana. However, I could decide when the time came. I believe that legalization is a “states right” issue … I am a big “states righter.” And I readily accept the action by the voters in any state that makes the choice to permit the use of marijuana. That is not noble of me, that is facing reality and fully respecting democracy in our republic. I have not (that I can remember … and if I did, I would need to make a clarification) ever said that MJ should be banned. You somehow picked that up in my posts and I would surmise that you probably read that into my statements. The simple fact is that I have grown tired of the nonstop Marijuana propaganda that is being shoved down our throats on a daily basis. Consequently, I have developed the attitude and approach against the overbearing pothead advocates the same way I turned against the Paultards, when I originally supported many of his ideas and may have voted for him. (This position is not unique to me … I have read it often times). I could keep on, but I will not in the sense of brevity. I trust you understand my position and I thank you for your respectful exchange. I will be pleased to answer any direct question. I am kinda like Trump (and I feel he is not a bad person to be kinda like) … in that I only lash out against those who lash out at me first. They seem to never want to know my position, they obviously only want to express great animosity against me for expressing my personal opinion and always initiate the name calling and insults. I don’t recall anyone of these posters who want to override, overshadow and suppress my opinion … ever asking me to clarify my position so they could understand where I am coming from. You have done that. You are the first … and I thank you for this and your courtesy. We are new to exchanging posts. There is some information I would like to share with you. I am a speed reader and key as quickly as I read. I have many things to do, including being a volume day trader in the market. I have a number of computer screens open and I post on LF between buy and sell orders. I never take time to proof read … I have other things waiting for me to do. I offer this information to you not as an excuse … just to help clarify my posting techniques. FYI; If legalizing alcohol were the point topic instead of marijuana and the alcohol advocates were as overbearing, I would make the same posts about alcohol as I do marijuana. With respect,
Whats wrong with marijuana?
Agreed. Duly noted. You won't accomplish anything useful with regard to "overbearing pothead advocates" by, for example, citing driving-while-stoned deaths as evidence against "the argument that marijuana doesn't hurt anybody" when such deaths are no less evidence for cars hurting people. A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them.
Please gatlin, post the link! --- We all have the hardly waits to see what kind of porno sites you creep around in... Explain yourself, clarify your position, --- Please... Believe me, we don't want to suppress you gatlin... Post the link...
Let me get this straight, drama queen. Just because people have died because a moron governor was a dipshit... the whole world stops functioning... and moreover, if I don't start crying and immediately stop what I'm doing and fall down and cry for two weeks straight, I'm "defending criminal actions" of an ignorant unlawful asshole? Are we suppose to empty all the prisons and hand out heroin to little kids so you can feel better over the unfortunate dead? F' off, you drama filled yella bullshit AGENDA artist. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Please post your credentials, where you went to medical school, and any other criteria that would show your expertise in this area. That's rich. What's your credentials? You spent a few days under the network CEO's desk to get a job in journalism? Then that arrest by those bad bad terrible cops ended your career. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
There is absolutely nothing wrong with marijuana … I never said there was. It’s just an Indian hemp weed plant. There is also nothing wrong with Taraxacum. It’s just a flowering weed plant commonly knows as dandelion. I have never commented on the use of dandelion wine. But the day people are drinking dandelion wine in numbers the same as the millions of marijuana users, with the same devastating and deadly results as with marijuana users … I will speak out. When dandelion wine use finds increases in dandelion wine related traffic deaths, hospital visits, school suspensions, lab explosions and pet poisonings reach “epidemic” portions the same as marijuana users … I will speak out. When young people aged 12 to 17 are drinking dandelion wine and jumping off of buildings to their death the same as marijuana users … I will scream!
Nothing can ever be accomplished with overbearing pothead advocates. I however will continue reporting driving-while-stoned-on-marijuana deaths. Thank you for your comment.
More revisionist history Gatlin, trying to ingratiate yourself with the "new guy"? CF is not familiar with your anti-Paul stance going back to at least 2007 on the old Liberty Post. It wasn't the "Paultards" you detested - it was the ideas and philosophy of Ron Paul. Why? Because freedom scares you. I'm sure I could dredge up a slew of your obnoxious comments and the baseless claims of racism and anti-Semitism you maliciously slung at Dr. Paul. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Gatlin's version of the truth. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much You'll have better luck talking to a mule.
I don't have the same platform that Donald Trump has, therefore the internet works just fine. Thank you for your friendly advice. If only I had the time. If only … But everything I would have to present was gleaned from numerous leadership and management schools in the Air Force including the Seventh Army NCO Academy in Munich, the most senior NCO academy in Europe. And the USAF Command and Staff College at the USAF Air University in Montgomery, the second highest professional leadership and management school in the AF where only the top 10-percent of AF officers are selected to attend. So, even if I had time … it would be a waste of effort since I could not copyright the material. But, thank you kindly for your interest. However, If I decide to write a book on "How To Win Friends And Influence People" … I will make sure you get a signed first edition.
The informative comments and claims are a matter of record still over at LP ... you are most welcome to gather them up and present them here. But I stand by my statement ... they resulted from observing the obnoxious activity from Paultard bastards.
GrandIsland was a "Paultard" for a few days around '07. At least he pretended to be a Ron Paul supporter. It's likely that the term paultard, was invented to describe GrandIsland. Gatlin has always been a statist Trotskyite of the Karl Rove, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, McCain type... Global Socialism with an Iron Glove (Neocon). Part of a series on Leon Trotsky ... SHH ... *** Snicker ***
I however will continue reporting driving-while-stoned-on-marijuana deaths. To what end? A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them.
*** Snicker *** I can't see any intentional humor in your getting your anti-pot "facts" from spoof sites. A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them.

Thousands Arrested in Michigan for Pot ...
SOUTH HAVEN, Mich. (AP) - A 47-year-old man charged with murder in a 1988 southwestern Michigan slaying could be freed in about five years following a plea deal.
The Kalamazoo Gazette reports attorneys worked out an agreement that allowed Junior Fred Blackston of Bangor to plead guilty last week to second-degree murder. He had appealed two earlier convictions and already was behind bars more than 15 years.
Sentencing is July 11. Blackston's attorney and prosecutors announced the deal Tuesday that avoids a third trial. Authorities say Blackston was among three men who lured 22-year-old Charles Paul Miller of Bangor into a marijuana field in Allegan County's Lee Township, shot him in the back of the head because of a drug debt and buried his body. Arrests first were made in the case in 2000.

A Fort Gratiot teen who pleaded guilty in the death of Jason Schultz will return to court Monday for a bond revocation hearing.
So much for the argument that marijuana doesn't hurt anybody.
Trent Sheldon's sentencing has also been rescheduled from May 19 to Friday.
The 18-year-old pleaded guilty March 1 to operating while intoxicated (Just some stanky bud) causing death, a 15-year felony. Schultz, 28, was killed Jan. 15 while working to tow a vehicle out of a west ditch.
Officials said Sheldon had used marijuana before driving when he hit Schultz on North Road in Clyde Township.

I am an extremely knowledgeable person.
It’s self-confidence, sport … there is no way of getting over it. It fermented naturally and developed rapidly at a early age. Because of self-confidence, I am able to face head-on any fears that come before me and have no aversion to risk taking. I always handle any obstacles that come my way, no matter what … with confident knowledge that I have the ability to get past them. I see my life in a positive light even when things appear not to be going well, and I have self-respect.
