Four dudes to run a one-person errand?

Also, is Mendo actually keeping these guys locked up over 22 lbs of weed? In Humboldt they could have had several kilos of smack or meth and still been processed and released on a pinkie promise to show for court.

Im gonna bet someone pulled their plate while they were making the deal. They were probably assholes to someone and now they pay a price. OR some racist dealer who holds a grudge against Paki runners did them in.

No license plate? Are you kidding me right now? Just as bad as Schlossers wife transporting 100’s of pounds to the east coast and driving right through Utah, on 80 traveling 45 mph. You would think that they would have done their dudilligence and their indulging before and after the “trip”…..Are you experienced ……..

Hooray for the flower police! 🤣 Got some weed? Book ’em Dano!!! Oh, you’ve got an AK-47, an oz of fentanyl, and 4 pounds of heroin? We’re sorry to bother you, here’s a ticket and a court date! Hahaha ha!
Instead of ganja smuggling, they should have been protesting the police by throwing bricks and frozen soda cans at them, then go on to loot Costco! They would have been cheered on!!

Or the 2 billion dollars worth of damage rioters did or the 20 deaths and 700 police injuries occuring during BLM protests in 2020. All in the name of a nine time convicted recently released criminal. Oh wait! You think there was more to the protests than that and people who say it was only that are hateful racists? Then an equally racist, hateful commentary indulging in malicious oversimplification on this one protest should be avoided. Unless the poster is willing to have the similarities pointed out.

First I never once said I was going to ignore you. Sometimes your consistent lack of nuance does mean I let it go out of boredom. But I mostly find your comments so mean in personal insult and nonsensical that it minimizes the guilt I would normally feel in shooting fish in a barrel.

Second I never pretended to be unbiased. I am biased against uncivil discourse in general but especially irritated by those who think to bully in the name of liberal virtue. And even more irritated when they talk in regurgitated stereotypes while condemning differing stereotypes.

But I am sorry you find my comments unnecessaily circular. It’s hard to be simple enough to avoid that criticism from you without descending into the same simple insults and uncomplicated regurgitated thinking that triggers the resonse in the first place. In order to meet your complaint in terms you understand, just think my comment to your insults is usually “That’s the pot calling the kettle black” only phrased more politely.

Americans protest it’s what makes us American. The majority were peaceful. The sitting president in violation of the constitution beat, gassed and shot his way for a photo op.

How much money came outta your pocket to recover the looting done by protesters. Did you volunteer to clean up? How many business looted or cops injured in Humboldt, Mendocino or Trinity.

Life exists beyond the television. Half the country supports you get out and see it. Stop in Portland before you go and see the scary Antifa. Don’t be surprised once you find it’s not as scary as it been made out to be.

There was no violent deaths from the capital incident, except for the unarmed white woman. Even your favoite source CNN NEWS, said they died of medical, except for the one unarmed white woman who was killed by CP: So they were not killed, they died! Dr. Francisco Diaz, the district’s chief medical examiner, announced the causes of deaths as:
• Ashli Babbitt, 35, died by homicide from a gunshot to the left shoulder. She was shot by a Capitol police officer while trying to climb through a door near the House chamber.
• Kevin Greeson, 55, died of natural causes from cardiovascular disease. Greeson, of Athens, Alabama, had a Twitter account in which he supported former President Donald Trump and profanely denounced his opponents.
• Benjamin Phillips, 50, died of natural causes from cardiovascular disease. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Phillips of Ringtown, Pennsylvania, was a computer programmer who founded a social media website for Trump supporters. He had organized a trip of several dozen people to the district.
• Roseanne Boyland, 34, died by accident from acute amphetamine intoxication. Boyland, of Georgia, wanted to be a sobriety counselor and followed QAnon conspiracies, her family said.

Cause of death still under investigation as of 4/7/21 and officer Sicknick died on 1/7, not 1/6, the day that American citizens decided they wanted to meander through the building that their taxes paid for.

So…your contention is that even though 140 officers were injured during the Capitol Insurrection, and Sicknick was sprayed with a chemical substance (probably Frontiersman Bear Spray) and then sprayed again with another pepper spray like substance…the officer just coincidentally died? You do remember that the officer standing next to Sicknick when he was sprayed the first time said she still had burn scabs from the spray three weeks later. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/03/24/us/officer-sicknick-capitol-riot.html The acting chief of the Capitol Police said Sicknick died in the line of duty and two people have been arrested for attacking him https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/legal-issues/two-arrested-in-assault-on-police-officer-brian-d-sicknick-who-died-after-jan-6-capitol-riot/2021/03/15/80261550-84ff-11eb-bfdf-4d36dab83a6d_story.html Now…if you are going to say that Sicknick’s death after an attack by the insurrectionists was unrelated…I do hope you are doing the same in the cases involving the BLM riots.

What very clearly didn’t happen is what was first widely reported. Officer Sidnick was not beaten to death with a fire extinguisher (as was reported by the NY Times and others).

https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.yahoo.com/amphtml/times-corrects-record-officer-sicknick-204024018.html

He died the next day. No cause has been released. I wonder why?

Me, too. But I suspect the real question that seems to be underlying this all is…

Which is worst? the Capital Insurrection or the BLM? A proxy war between left and right.

Is the right more evil than the left or vice versa?

We all seem incapable of admitting that just because people on the right (or on the left) do bad things, that doesn’t mean that the right (or left) is wrong.

Not me, I think the rioting is unacceptable, period. Doesn’t matter if it is from the left or right, or it is some agitators in disguise, trying to make one side or the other look bad.

Many are likely one and the same.

I hear that argument from conservatives that the Capital insurrection was no big deal because of the BLM thing that they so despised.

I find it all despicable.

Is that so uncommon?

That’s good. I’m glad no one was that violent. Though, according to the article, the medical examiner “told the newspaper that “all that transpired” on January 6 “played a role in his [Sicknick’s] condition.”

We cannot assume people are bad because of their names. Look at all the white idiots with “normal” names getting busted for heroin and meth. And why were they jailed for pot, when people had 8 pounds od heroin, and they walked. Nothing wrong with assuming there may be more to it, like gang membership. No, the fun part of this is having been left with their stupidity. And, really, they are not intellegent people, giving law enforcement every out to bust them. Most people who engage in drug use, or making them, or selling them, are not the brightest in our society. And we are not talking about pot. It seems people who use drugs might have a genetic flaw of some kind. But, we are all free to engage in any lifestyle we want, so carry on.

When are are we going to Legalize this plant already! How many pounds have to be grown and moved all over the world and yet still the government turned its back on it. It’s just a dried plant. Grown, dried, sold… How hard is that to regulate? A plant that is grown, dried, and sold. Twice so you can realize how simplistic it really is. Like basil. Yet in 2021
We have four young humans getting pulled over and going through whatever crazy stages they had too, to get to where they were all in for this plant that is, grown, dried, trimmed and sold..
All for some dried basil.
Atleast we know the streets are safer

They were pulled over for not having a license plate. And not arrested for possessing pot but for having with the intention of selling. Which was no more legal than selling cigarettes, liquor or fireworks without a license.

Chinese and Mexican Criminal Entities Team Up to Traffic a New Drug Capable of Doing Great Harm to Americans

Jose Nino
Apr 16, 2021

A new drug is beginning to wreak havoc throughout America.

Hollie McKay of CNS News covered the rise of isotonitazene and its deleterious effects stateside.

“In the last twelve months, I have seen a number of overdose cases, where the person isn’t responding at all to the Naloxone, which made us realize this wasn’t fentanyl,” an anti-drug campaigner based in California observed. The activist’s reference to Naloxone is relevant, because this is a nasal spray used on people who suspectedly overdose on fentanyl. It’s often referred to as a miracle medicine by paramedics, literally capable of bringing overdose victims back to life.

“And fentanyl wasn’t showing up in blood tests or autopsy reports,” the activist continued, who maintained anonymity. “We realized this was isotonitazene.”
