CHICO POT RAID INHUMAN

When I read the Sept. 19 medical marijuana story, I got the same sickening
feeling one gets when they are a witness to man's inhumanity to man.

This man, Michael Farrell, is obviously someone that has a number of
problems and is clearly in need of some help. The article reads as though
the nine agents and deputies were suffering a great hardship by having to
tolerate a yard with dog feces.

What was the purpose of this article? Was it because 30 pounds of marijuana
and 18 plants are such a huge "drug bust"? Or was it to publicly humiliate
someone by exploiting their living conditions?

I certainly do not feel that this world is a safer place as a result of
these heroics.
