he's lucky it wasn't LEO taking down his crop. Causing intentional bodily injury to a cop brings down a lot of heat. just plain stupid. Booby traps make us all look like violent criminals. this is exactly how they would like to portray us.

I was reading about a major garden takedown in Maine this week... they specifically mentioned that no booby traps were found. The drama! Imagine the drama if they had found them. This is one of the primary ways in which the bogus and criminal "drug war" is justified. And its one of the reasons that it can be repackaged by the media and sold to us as a captivating news product.

The non-violent nature of marijuana, when compared to alcohol and hard drugs, is one of the main things working politically in its favor. Booby traps, at the very least, are counterproductive in this respect.

You have some good points but im talking bout a small backyard grow 2 plants, not some major garden operation also were im from leo knock on your door before they attempt to search for weed it is decriminalised in my state so you can grow upto 9 plants without going to jail just a small fine in court without criminal conviction and if leo ever did arrive im sure they would be warned about the fish hooks and razor blades...

Ps I have never set traps myself and have/will never need 2...

Dude I'M TALKING LOW... maybe 50/75 feet sometimes... Just searchin In a grid ...I sit & watch them (I Try to do some recon on their asses) Any info may just save my patch...Like what they drive /what they look like so if I ever see that trash ..... lets just say I'll stay clear...

Wow, that's crazy. I'd do my utmost to scare that guy so bad he never flew again. Thinking either some fireworks bursting next to him (mortars) or good old fashioned target practice, with a .22 or the like.

Follow them home and burn the aircraft. Leave them a few bags of leafes on there porch. Okay just kidding.

I would find out where they are landing. Then spray paint RIPPER in orange on both sides of the truck. Dump brake fluid all over the paint. put a candle in the tail pipe. Pop a few tires and slip back into the woods.

Or you could get some cable and cable clamps. Clamp one end of the cable to his U-joint on the drive shaft. (Use double cable clamps) Then run that cable thru his brake lines,exhaust pipes, wiring harness, transmission lines, and what ever else you can wrape it around. Then clamp that end back to the drive shaft.

When the ripper puts his truck into drive and takes off. The cable will wrap around the driveline and pull everything into the driveline. It will FSU.

You could follow him home and leave a few notes in his mailbox. Give him some paranoid feeling.


yeah those fuckers deserve to have an accident. :joint:

what if they were flying RC cars to rape your daughter or Rob your house of your stereo or TV? is that defensible? i luv how some people want to take it on the Chin.

If you Rob me on my property. Good luck. If you attack me on my property i will defend myself. I will also take any assault as a threat to my life which it is. The rest, you do the math.

If you don't defend yourself than no one will defend you. Sorry, you are alone. Big Brother just wants your tax money.

i don't know where you live but anyone flying with a motorized flying object in my state has to be 500 ft above the tree line in a populated area.

Or you could leave them the fuck alone and take your loss like a man and realize that you just didn't do your research and hiding job good enough. Come on guy's who are you trying to fool with all this BS ? the rippers could for all you know be some real badasses and then what ? a war, gang bang ?

I thought stoners were about peace and harmony and all that shit....

you obviously have never been ripped. so, if you were in jail and you were raped. would you just keep taking it? what a dumb ass. some of this shit is crossing the line but you need to fight back. you're probably one of those smelly hippies i see at concerts walking around with no shoes.

Wow, so much for ideals. I guess it really always was just about the money. I think I'd rather be the smelly, poor, hippy walking barefoot than the craven capitalist who's willing to kill to protect his profit margin. At least the former is human.

is that why your handle is cashmunny?

hahaha

it's human to preserve your own life. that means your property and land. you don't know if rippers are ready to harm you. you have a right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness until you infringe on someone else's right. then it's on.

This morning I found a ciggy filter next to my greenhouse which is placed in our backyard. I don't smoke tobacco and I am the only one who goes and checks them. Unfortunately, the ciggy was smoked till the end so I couldn't see the brand (my landlord only smokes a certain brand.)
I am wondering how did that came about. Thing is the plants already reek and I am covering and uncovering them daily. I am afraid that the noise attracted some peoples attention.. Hoping for the best here!

You are a shithead if you even consider trying to harm any ripper. It's your fault if you can't hide your plants good enough.
That depends on if it's a riper or a burglar and if the plants are in your own back yard or on some other property, if it’s medical. I personally would rush the guy yelling GET ON THE GROUND repeatedly just like leo and maybe with a bright flash light, id zip tie the fucker if he wanted to attack me or not probably just if he didn’t run away or leave the property. Go cobra commando on those rippers, man up and put 'em on the ground if they want to rush past or don’t leave, the zip ties are to protect the crooks and myself while waiting on police response both military and police/swat use zip ties. If he got on the ground I'd zip tie 'em and call the police asap or have already called the police, have him hauled off to the poky.

Any and all evidence left behind should be regarded cause it could be used against you in court, if you wound someone or leave them out their to die then it’s a huge problem and they will likely take prints or get a detective looking into things or if it doesn’t look like south American growers (leave behind some canned menudo and some hot sauce) they might print anyways thinking it’s a common criminal w/a back round. If you harm or kill a federal agent or worker think of the consequences, or don’t ant just plant 4 times what you plan on harvesting. If you get just ¼ of that all is well any better odds and it’s a much better year, plan on more plots not harming others to save the few you had staked out.

Booby traps are nothing to armed groups of drug hustlers tending thousands of plants in the national forests, we should pull out national guard out of conflict zones and protect the forests and parkland for Americans to enjoy and pass on to generations. The pollution and disrespect to out land would make many an Indian cry -like on wayne’s world. I believe that booby traps are a bad thing but they are not the only idea giving marijuana growing a bad rep, the feds had said the thousands of plants are harvested and sold to fuel the blood shed south of the border.

Actually i have been ripped some years ago....my mistake as the spot i chose was not the best, so i found a more secure spot. No i have not been in jail, but with your attitude your gonna land yourself in jail one day and become someones bitch. Growing weed is only a hobby and not life or death for me, i dont entertain the life style of "beat or be beaten" or "eat or be eaten"

Who i am and what i am does not pertain to the fact that i dont condone violence as a mean of fighting back.

Take care and stay safe....

yeah good point, I thought about that after I posted. I figured someone would give me a hard time.

It's still vigilantism though. It would be considered battery or murder depending on the end result. So just make sure you're willing to do the time as the price for dishing out homestyle justice.

If you are sane I would think you would want to avoid the American prison system at all costs. But you never know, out of 100 e-thugs on the interweb, maybe you're the one who's the real deal.

I think smell is the biggest security risk for an outdoor garden. I've decided to mask my garden's smell. Ace Hardware sells an outdoor fly trap called the Rescue Fly Trap. You cut a hole in the top, pull up the plastic stopper, add water and hang it up. It's got a bait packet inside, and after a few days it puts off a particularly nasty, old rotten dumpster smell.:mad:

I agree. No weed is worth killing, or for that matter injuring another human being for. In the end, most times we have ourselves to blame for getting ripped (bad location, not taking precautions, TELLING OTHERS)

i also think the biggest deterrent for rippers is thorn bushes. 80% of my plots are surrounded by thorn bushes with very sharp and pointy thorns. i am willing to take the cuts on my body for peace of mind but some schmoehawk most likely is not, unless really desperate.
