USCG on the Ferry

EriKs responses are hilarious.

He doesn't understand the theory of law or justice.

Law was meant to be a shield against government not a tool of oppression.

Positive law passed by a vote (claiming majority which they rarely are) is still tyranny of the minority.

His beloved government wouldn't have legalized pot in this state (a victim-less crime) it was done by a petition contrary to what the legislation wanted.

As an explanation of Erik's position (not in defense of), he is still very young, and he was subjected to statist propaganda for at least 12 years in our public school system. His real education is just beginning.

I actually haven't seen any on board since posting. Sometimes they're on board like clockwork. Recently not.

That's because they were afraid they were going to get detained by citizens demanding to see their papers and who authorized then to carry their guns.

Snipped....

*sigh*

I can't even begin to muster the motivation to continue arguing with you. Maybe once you have a little more life experience and less blind indoctrination then we can talk.

I will, however, provide the links, since you asked. I'll even give you multiple sources.

Teen faces life in prison over hash brownies

A Texas teenager is facing five years to life in prison for allegedly baking and selling pot brownies.

Jacob Lavoro, a 19-year-old from Round Rock, Texas, was charged with a first degree felony because he used hash oil instead of marijuana, allowing the state to weigh the brownies as a whole — including the sugar, cocoa, butter and other ingredients — to calculate the weight of the drugs.

Police searched Lavoro's apartment, where they allegedly found 660 grams — or 1.45 pounds — of baked goods (six bags of cookies, nine bags of brownies) along with 16 ounces of marijuana and $1,675 in cash.

"I’ve been doing this 22 years as a lawyer and I’ve got 10 years as a police officer and I’ve never seen anything like this before,” Jack Holmes, Lavoro’s attorney, told KEYE-TV. “They’ve weighed baked goods in this case. It ought to be a misdemeanor."

Hash oil, classified as a "Penalty 2" controlled substance under Texas law, contains a higher concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.

The teen's father, Joe Lavoro, called the possibility of his son spending life behind bars for a hash brownie recipe “outrageous."

"Five years to life? I'm sorry, I'm a law abiding citizen. I'm a conservative. I love my country. I'm a Vietnam veteran, but I'll be damned," Lavoro said. "This is illogical. I'm really upset, and I'm frightened, I'm frightened for my son."

Lavoro was arrested on April 15 and charged with possession of marijuana, possession of the illegal hash oil and sale of the hash-infused cookies and brownies. He was held in Williamson County Jail and released on May 7 on a $30,000 bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for June 19.

“It’s crazy," Joe Lavoro said. "I don’t understand it."

Neither do pot advocates, who say the possible punishment doesn't fit the crime.

"That's higher than the punishment range for sexual assault, higher than the punishment range for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon," Jamie Spencer, legal counsel for NORML's Texas chapter, said. "It's kind of crazy."

"This case is the perfect example of the insanity of Texas' drug laws," Spencer added. "Especially when it comes to marijuana or anything where the active ingredient is THC."

Some people have a really hard time facing the truth they 'may' be on the wrong side of justice (Primus especially).

Oh yes thee wounds me so much with your infinite wisdom about justice and anything about myself in any way shape or form.

I've noticed a pair of USCG guys walking the car decks on the ferry between Bainbridge and Seattle. I imagine they're on the other runs as well. I don't think they're armed- I see a lot of gear on their belts and some drop-leg pouches, but I can't say I've seen a handgun. This could be just a bad angle though.

Anyway, I wonder how they'll act if they see us openly carrying, and more importantly, what is their authority?

Well, they'll probably act like this is Washington and the ferry system is part of the highway system.

Don'tcha think??

And since being employed by Walmart, being employed by the government, and being active duty military are all voluntary acts, I fail to see the difference between any of those three in regards to being denied the ability to carry firearms as a condition of employment. It would be entirely different if we had mandatory military service in this country.

The government is subject to Constitution private business is not.

 

[Jeff Hayes]

LOL....it didn't provide an extra layer, it eroded what was supposed to be needed PC.

Of course this has been explained to you over and over.

There was a clear baseline cops just ignored it, hence why the law suit.

SVG you are breaking our first rule do not talk to cops.


This is exactly why you should never talk to cops.

LOL...

Had some FBI agents at my door a few years ago after I called a fed prosecutor and chewed him out .... I asked if I was under arrest and they said no, just looking to talk. I slammed the door in their face and told them to get off my property.
