SC Cops Make Arrests in Phelps Case

As far as "where's the evidence," dont forget that the right wingnuts, like our fellow poster here Infidel, can divine things from hundreds of miles away. Remember Bill Frist diagnosed Terry Schiavo as a functioning person after viewing a 2 minute video clip, never mind her brain had shriveled to the size and consistency of a walnut. These people are all knowing. I'm sure the camera hoggin', publicity seeking Souf C'lina shurf can smell the pot just by looking at the picture. And in Souf C'lina thats enough evidence fo dem. Ironic isn't it that Newsers main headline,is a story from that bastion of liberalism The Wall St Urinal, detailing the total idiocy of US drug laws. Only idiots enforce idiot laws, and Souf Clina has more than its share of idiots, chief among them the Shurf. Reply

Keep to the facts, there was no probable cause warranting a search of some random person's apartment that they think Michael Phelps may have gotten stoned in. As someone else pointed out there could have been anything in that 'water pipe', although Phelps apologized he exercised care in not actually mentioning anything about marijuana. I think anyone charged with possession as a result of an initiative taken on by that picture should fight this to the top. It really is ridiculous how marijuana is decriminalized in several states and yet pointless persecution still continues in others. When are people going to realize that alcohol is obviously more dangerous than marijuana. Do these idiots think that marijuana promotes crime and violence, because I've got some news, that's the firewater. Look up some statistics on domestic disputes, child abuse, etc and you will find that many of these horrid cases are linked directly to alcoholism. It is time for our country to stop wasting millions of dollars in insignificant investigations/prosecutions, stop trying to raise revenue through unconstitutional prohibitions of our rights and liberties, and focus on the real issues at hand; there are many.
