The old lady who lived there came out and screamed bloody murder, called the cops, then told the police how she was almost raped and murdered, etc.

My friend did 7 years for walking in the wrong door high. But I’ll bet it went in the books as a another drug-related crime in which an old lady was barely spared her life? (Especially in a place where they liked to build up BS to make themselves look good and beg for more budget money).

very nice

Regarding being accompanied by a child as a requirement….

They are needed to explain slides :)

Seriously, though, watch that and tell me it doesn’t make Chabot’s statement ridiculous on its face.

Golden Gate is huge and there are pot smokers there, too. No one pays them any attention.

Every other park in the city (there’s a bazillion of them) is pretty much a parent’s paradise.

There are plenty of parents outside the city who think San Francisco is just a bunch of hedonistic druggie hippie/fags. They won’t bring their kids into the city no matter what, which is fine because the Bay Area has a million family friendly parks and activities outside the 7×7 mile area that is SF.

Anyway, Chabot doesn’t know what he’s talking about and he should probably shut up.

Chabot also says in the video that parents in San Francisco “don’t take their kids to the park anymore” because of the legal marijuana dispensaries.

That’s just because they no longer need to take their kids to the park as cover to visit their dealers.

Rephrased, it’s not that drug warriors blind themselves to the ultimate conceit that violence will fix things, it’s that violent people are blinding themselves to the conceit that they actually care whether people do drugs.

Logically that may sound reflexive (and equal), but I believe the violent tendencies come first, especially when dealing with intractable problems like drugs, poverty, etc. They lie to themselves that they can achieve the goals of eradicating such things, knowing that ultimately they have the state-sanctioned privilege to kill anyway.

If bunches of illiterate peasants can tie down entire armies with advanced weapons, what arrogance must a drug warrior possess to think that he can dictate to other US citizens and other countries.

The drug warriors and ignorant social conservatives don’t give a crap about the violence, deaths and political instability caused in other countries. Worse still, drug warrior politicians continue to get their fat asses reelected based on scare propaganda. I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of that before November.

All of the prohibitionist/drug warrior campaigns have been heavily racist. Alcohol prohibitionists blamed the Irish, opium phohibitionist blamed Chinese, cocaine prohibitionists Latin Americans and MJ prohibition the Mexicans.

This is nothing new.

Unfortunately, the prohibitionists also seem perfectly happy to let innocents* of other countries to be killed for their ideal.

(*By “innocents”, I am referring to people who are unconnected with the trade in the prohibited substance. Although this is a limited definition that I don’t feel is accurate, it is a definition that even the prohibitionists must allow.)

LIES LIES LIES.

Need facts? Why? Just lie about it and grab a flag to wrap yourself in.

Douche.

Answer the damn question, Chabot: Where is your Constitutional authority to outlaw drugs?

*My neighbor insists that I use this word instead of “marijuana” because it was labeled “marijuana” to make people think it was a dirty wetback drug that had no business in the homes of good, decent, white Americans. Though I don’t know if that’s really true, it sounds plausible, so I accommodate him whenever I’m not so stoned I can’t remember.
