Our country has taken a turn towards undeniable idiocy.

I suppose we ought to thank Nixon for this decades-long War on Drugs that has been effective at mass incarceration, murder, and a robust Police State.
"I'm not going to be using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws [on medical marijuana]," Obama promised in 2008, according to an earlier Rolling Stone report. But Attorney General Eric Holder announced in 2010 that federal authorities would continue to prosecute individuals for marijuana possession, despite its legalized status in some states.
The Huffington Post's Lucia Graves reported recently on subsequent enforcement activity:
Since then, the administration has unleashed an interagency cannabis crackdown that goes beyond anything seen under the Bush administration, with more than 100 raids, primarily on California pot dispensaries, many of them operating in full compliance with state laws. Since October 2009, the Justice Department has conducted more than 170 aggressive SWAT-style raids in 9 medical marijuana states, resulting in at least 61 federal indictments, according to data compiled by Americans for Safe Access, an advocacy group.
"What I specifically said was that we were not going to prioritize prosecutions of persons who are using medical marijuana," Obama said. "I never made a commitment that somehow we were going to give carte blanche to large-scale producers and operators of marijuana -- and the reason is, because it's against federal law."
And every squatter in the White House since...including your beloved Obama.
That is history, which is overrated.

Twelve came thru the door. He got half of them. Now that is "Gun Control" Article did have an admission of a bunch of "friendly fire", how many got each other?
Why were the LEOs not charged with a crime?? Oh yeah, Immunity, the generic "get out of jail free card" Why is the county atty (that would be Weber County Attorney Dee W. Smith) so adamant to a murder charge.
I didn't see where they actually found the weed they were looking for. Was this another case of wrong address? If so, the police and DA need to be apologizing, both to the vet and the survivors of the slain officers, and an investigation made into how the warrant was issued.
I am merely pointing out that Nixon started the wonderful program.
