THE GUY WAS CRAZY
In light of the terrible tragedy in Alberta, a new wave of "reefer madness"
is about to hit our country.
But what has pot got to do with it?
The RCMP suffered a terrible loss, and nobody I know woke up celebrating
the slaughter of four innocent men doing their job. Yet this incident had
very little to do with grow-ops.
The sick puppy that killed these men was known to be crazy.
There were ample signs that this man was going to go "postal," and nothing
was done.
Marijuana had a very marginal part in this tragedy. And we should not lose
track of the real problem -- the thousands of mentally challenged and ill
people in our communities who are not cared for.
Pot did not kill these RCMP officers -- ignorance and government cutbacks did.
