It’s a good post, go read it.

But, at the end of the Boston Herald article there was something that struck me in a way that I feel deserved a whole new post.

Meanwhile, in Braintree on Monday night, police spotted a suspected perv smoking pot in a car filled with coils of rope, a pair of handcuffs and bottles of NyQuil. But they had to let the man go, even though he was awaiting trial on child sexual assault charges.

Said Deputy Chief Russell Jenkins, “Had the law not been changed, he absolutely would have been placed under arrest.”

Wait. What?! What the hell does this have to do with marijuana?

Nothing. But man, what a horrible story.

A suspected child molester runs free with rope, handcuffs and NyQuil because of the decriminalization of marijuana.

Maybe we should make hair illegal. This way the cops could have taken him in. Or perhaps we should make it an arrestable offense to drive right-handed. Surely we could have taken him in at this point.

Dammit. Seems that being right-handed and sporting a full head of hair is okay in the U.S. and now a child molester will have to go free.

I wish I could say I was super pissed about such a statement, but I don’t expect much more from media outlets like these. It’s a juicy story. Extremely irresponsible, but expected.

It feels as though Edward Mason and/or Jessica Van Sack (the authors at Boston Herald) are the reincarnation of Harry Anslinger. Very reminiscent of his statements.
