So I was just reading up on a head shop in my area that was busted and had all their glass confinscated. While I was reading some of the responses of the article, I ran across this:

wlavigne (anonymous):"You all sound like those people who cry foul after getting stopped by the police for speeding...you know the old line "don't you have something better to do with your time" or the best one "Arenā??t there any real criminals you could be out trying to find?" And I sure the response they would love to give you, but can't due to the fact that you will complain to their shift Sergeant is "Well, I was on my way to a call, but when you flew past me at 10-15 miles over the speed limit, or flew through that stop sign, you were putting law abiding citizens at risk so it was my job to prevent you from doing that...but thanks for asking!" Bottom line, unless you are blind or just oblivious to the fact that these items are largely, not always, but largely used for other than legal purposes then you will understand that the snowball effect is in play here. Drug use leads to and is the foundation for many of the crimes that are committed against our society today and if we can slow that process just a little by taking drug related items off the shelf...then so be it. After all, Iā??m sure most of you would be the first to cry out when some one in your family is hurt and the drug pipe the suspect used just before running down your children is linked to one of these shops...i bet you'd smell a lawsuit then wouldn't you? We should all try to be a part of the solution and not the problem."


I mean.. wow. Whoever this is just linked a hard working business owner (who had been in business for 13 years before he *ever* had problems, and he has been busted twice in the last year.) with a violent crime. All on the basis of Bongs == Violence!?

Is this what the drug war has done to people? Made them suckers for mindless prejudice? I was just wondering if anyone else was as outraged by this as I am. So let me hear it!
