I was referring to Vattic's story.

This and the fact he was nowhere near a dealer.

Somewhere, in an alternate universe, a TAWS unit burst into a person's house, shot their pet goat, and traumatized their wife and kid so recover approximately two packs of the addictive substance known as tobacco. If only he smoked pot instead, like all the other taxpaying citizens did, he wouldn't have had to take illegal measures for such an extreme life-changing drug

Facts:
Quote
"Whitworth was ultimately charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana and second-degree child endangerment (he ultimately pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge for possessing drug paraphernalia and paid a $300 fine according to Missouri's Case.net -- all other charges were dropped). The drug charges were apparently related to the discovery of what news reports described as "a grinder, a pipe and a small amount of marijuana." The child endangerment charge seems to be the result of Whitworth daring to be at home with his wife and seven-year-old son when the storm troopers burst in and shot two family dogs -- killing a pit bull and injuring a corgi."

Read: A standard issue casual weed smoker, not a dealer. Period. SWAT team, for a guy with $20 of weed. Your tax dollars at work.

What you are saying is too strongly worded, by a lot. You referred to the SWAT team members as "stormtroopers." Since when were they Nazis?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

No, see, I read "stormtroopers" as the goofy ones in white armor. It makes perfect sense for them to shoot dogs - they were probably aiming for someone else.

It seemed like my version would fit just as well, but the writer would have to be crazy. Meh. Maybe you guys are right :-\.

Do you have to fill a daily quota of punctuation or something?

The problem here is that the police/SWAT are fighting drugs at the consumer level. In my opinion, they should target the supplier-level by making the borders more secure, ect. It is unfortunate that the federal government as well as the general public have such knee-jerk reactions to any kind of border security: it seems like any attempt to make the borders more secure is labelled as "racist."
