IT'S NOT POT VIOLENCE, IT'S DRUG WAR VIOLENC
Re: Cops target drug scene (Packet & Times, May 17)
Det. Const. Jay Hutton was quoted as saying, "I hate it when people
say, 'It's just marijuana. Why don't you go after the crack? We've
seen marijuana linked to violence.'"
Then the reporter wrote: "He [Det. Jay Hutton] has seen that violence
first-hand. On a raid of an outdoor grow operation, Hutton said police
were confronted by armed men who had been left to guard the plants."
For heaven's sake, that's not the violence of marijuana: That's the
violence of the drug war!
