Burglars Break Into Pot Shop, Can't Break Out

[Hydrosun]

Stickers, Slogans, and Flags aren't support.

I have a great deal of respect for the soldier but NO respect for the government and Elites. My statements are in response to your assertion that WAR was keeping Americans FREE.

I am glad you have pride in your service and that of your comrades, but noble as your platoon may have been; it can not change the fact that you yourself said "you shouldn't have been there." You know what is sad, you didn't say that the VFW guys should have been in Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Iraq I, Iraq II or Afghanistan. Such a shame that their fortitude was blown up on battle fields all over the globe. Perhaps the better question to ask in the VFW or VA Hospital is: "If you were in charge back in the day which wars would you have authorized?"

Again the military is NOT protecting this nation. They are protecting the INTERNATIONAL MONEY INTERESTS.

The Vietnam protesters mistreated American service men and that misplaced anger has never since been heaped onto the soldier; but the immoral organization is fully deserving of sanction.



PS. The US has a population of 300,000,000. So 1% is 3,000,000. Do we really need 3,000,000 to protect us from invasion?

These three guys will get screwed in ways that civilians cannot imagine...

Double Jeopardy does not exist when you are active duty. These guys will have to face the state court, get convicted/imprisoned and then when the state is done with them....

The ARMY bends them over and tries them for the same crimes they have already been punished for.

But bottom line... They deserve it!


By the way I'm a USN Veteran.

 

[Eugenics]

They had an obligation to fulfill, they have no one to blame but themselves, if their mother did not teach them morals, then the U.S. Army should have been the fail-safe, right?

They have gone through basic training. They weren't recruits, these are enlisted men. They were carrying out a criminal act, to add these men have had training to be killers, all of them had to pass a marksmanship test, all of them had training in hand-to-hand combat, all have had training in clandestine and covert operations, 3 men is a small unit, but none the less, though probably unauthorized (you never know! My government has done some shady shit) by higher ranking officers. They carried out a military action within the United States. Though small scale, an organized military action, in the cover of darkness. They had a crowbar, they were possessing a potentially deadly weapon. Anyone who can swing a crowbar can kill someone. They are trained soldiers, they are taught in the art of war, but also the discipline of peace.

These men are to be held to a higher standard, they are paid (yes, I agree, very little in the beginning of their careers) to be responsible. If they didn't want that responsibility, they should have never signed their name, and body over to the Armed Services.

These men were taught to be a cut above the standard, they are to represent the U.S., both on duty and off duty, home and abroad. They were given tools to be good men. I'm ashamed if they are representative of me. I do not steal, I do not lie, I am an honorable man, and I strive to be a model citizen. Cannabis prohibition is a policy, not a moral issue, Thievery is a moral issue, I think we all agree stealing from someone else is terrible, added to that, there are people who do not use cannabis as recreation, but it is for real medical benefit to them. Generally older generations have been raised with the whole reefer madness propaganda. They thought they would be criminals because it is a Schedule 1 drug in the US, "Highly Addictive, no medical benefit" but for the 1st time, a medicine helped them. Their quality of life suffered because they were denied safe access to the one thing that helped them. They were willing to take that away from people to their own profit. Do you think were they there to liberate the cannabis from the evil dispensary?

No matter how cruel of a punishment they receive, I would afford them much less mercy, I assure you. I'm thankful it's not my duty to judge these SOLDIERS, they are not CITIZENS. I would probably feel remorseful afterward, but being blind in passion, I would be more than severe. These men deserve no compassion. They are poor representatives of us, and they have taken advantage of our trust, they disregarded their duty, and the conspired against an American, Private Sector Organization.
Worse than criminals, they are dangerous criminals.

If my government wills it, these men can be above the law. It has been proven time and time again. Believe me almost everyone within government can cut red tape with the scissors they keep in their back pocket, and they can also jam those scissors straight into society's throat. We should all be crimson with anger at these men.

They were only practicing eradication measures.
One more record of failure in the DRUG WAR, hehe.
Ought to be good for a few thousand poosh opps though.

 

[el dub]

LOL Two of the dudes are now claiming that they broke into the shop to destroy the weed in a covert WOD maneuver.

lw

 

[trichrider]

oh, why would they act any different? they are trained and supported by government. from what i've seen, these actions are representative of government agencies.
what a load, rippers!

Read up on your History--
In the Gulf War, the Brits lost 47 (38 by enemy fire, 9 to friendly fire)-- And all 9 were from 1 incident-- Unfortunate and avoidable?? Yes!!
But hardly the picture you are trying to paint--

No Sir, We're Here to Get Rid of the Marijuana

3 Caught in Dispensary Had Excuse

Three Fort Carson soldiers had a perfectly good explanation for allegedly breaking into a pot dispensary in Colorado Springs early Saturday.

It was a public service.

"We were just trying to get rid of all the marijuana," Pfc. Ramone Hollins told officers after the trio were arrested inside Rocky Road Remedies at 2489 S. Academy Blvd. on the city's southeast side, according to an arrest affidavit.

Hollins, 22, Pfc. Darius Thomas, 23, and Pvt. Cory Young, 22, were arrested on suspicion of second-degree burglary after police say they accidentally locked themselves inside the dispensary during a burglary-gone-bad.

Officers freed the men and they were booked into El Paso County jail, each on a $10,000 bond.

All three soldiers were in the 1st Battalion, 2nd Aviation Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division, an attack helicopter unit at Fort Carson.

Hollins is detailed to human resources, Young is an Apache mechanic and Thomas is a unit supply specialist, service records show. None had served in combat.

Colorado Springs police Officer Joseph Langlais said in the arrest affidavit that police were on an unrelated call at a neighboring business just after 2 a.m. when they heard someone banging on glass inside the pot dispensary.

The dispensary had closed for the night, police said.

While several officers guarded the front, Langlais went around to the back and saw that the door knob had been knocked from the door and was lying on the ground, leaving a large hole.

Through the hole, Langlais said he saw a "dark-colored finger" poking at the dead bolt, which had apparently re-engaged in the door jamb after the break-in.

"I announced 'Police!' at which time the finger quickly retracted into the business and I immediately heard at least two voices screaming profanities," he wrote.

After being arrested, two of the suspects told officers they broke in with the best of intentions: They were going to steal the marijuana not to sell or smoke but to destroy it, Langlais said.

The store owner, Renze Waddington, said the men were inside for a matter of minutes and didn't have a chance to take anything before they were detected. The store's marijuana and cash were secured in a safe, he said.

Surveillance footage showed the trio running from one end of the store to another "like rats in a maze" after realizing police were outside, Waddington said.

A drilling hammer and two chisels were among the burglary tools found outside the back entrance, police said.

funny story about a dispensary that trapped dea agents

funny story about a dispensary that trapped dea agents

"The man trap is big enough for only about four people, so seven or eight DEA agents found themselves smushed on top of each other, faces pressed against the bars, guns drawn. Beck and his receptionist just sat there looking at them. "If we were real gangsta drug dealers, we could have sniped them all out," he jokes.

http://www.newsweek.com/2009/10/14/the-wild-west-of-weed.html

haha, i love it! that would of been some funny shit.
every dispensary needs a man trap, hell, i'm thinking about putting one in my home.
we gotta fight em back somehow.

 

[Blueshark]

River Rat, too bad Beck didn't lock the way they came in and leave them there while he called the Leo's....not that it would have solved anything. It kills me that they can come in, smash everything in sight, and walk away with no liability for damage whatsoever. You and I would go to jail for the same if we did it to them.

 

[river rat01]

true blueshark, we've got to start thinking like this, they have it too easy.
we've got to start making it harder for them.

 

[ddrew]

I would have gone on break for about 3 hours, after that, I would begin thinking about letting them out, not actually letting them out mind you, just thinking about it.

To bad it didn't have automatic trash compactor walls.

 

[river rat01]

or a trap door.

 

[Darth Fader]

They're supposed to be "non-profit" and are complaining about "profiteers", i.e. - competition and the artlicle states that West Hollywood makes $4 million in tax revenues of the 4 dispensaries there. At 10%, thats $10 mil per location. They can suck my balls.

 

[CARE giver]

They should have just left those ass holes in there...forever
