PHOTO OF POT SMOKING AT COURT HOUSE UNETHICAL

I have serious concerns about the photo of the so-called Rev. Ethier
on the front page Oct. 1 smoking a joint on his release from prison.

As far as I know marijuana is still an illegal drug.

If he would have been smoking a plain cigarette, which is legal, in a
honoured space, would the photographer had taken this picture?

No, he would have been charged for violating the law.

All he wanted was publicly, as he knows very well, West Nipissing
voters have too much brain to elect a person who doesn't care less
about obeying the law.

I also have questions about the North Bay Nugget's ethics in
publishing this picture on the front page.
