No, he deserves support from his friends, family, lawyers, etc. The support I am criticizing is what he will inevitably get from the internet community at large. He committed a crime, he'll plead his case and he'll pay for it if found guilty. I know the internet will find a way to make this more complicated than it should be.Hammeroj said:

Because the difference between $15 dollars and maybe $150 (if prices are high in your area) is huge.... it just happens that he got caught in a crappy state. In Ny this wouldn't even be a misdemeanor, it would be a civil citation and fine of about $100.Das Boot said:
See that's a stance I can get behind. I was being critical of people supporting him because of who he is, not because of what he did.Hammeroj said:
it is a trap, assuming (and IANAL) that they are screening for the same thing when they ask whether you support the death penalty in any case. They will disqualify you based on how you answer if the death penalty is in play.Fappy said:See that's a stance I can get behind.

Fun fact: I was part of a jury selection a few weeks back for a drug case and when they asked the question, "Do you think marijuana should be legalized?" I didn't raise my hand because I thought it was a trap
My strategy was to be as anonymous as possible and answer as few questions as was necessary so that when the lawyers discussed who they wanted and didn't want they wouldn't even remember who I was. It worked!Richard Allen said:it is a trap, assuming (and IANAL) that they are screening for the same thing when they ask whether you support the death penalty in any case.

I'm glad we could all come together for some joint observations on this matter.Richard Allen said:
Most white kids don't expect their cars to be searched, especially not by dogs I've driven through states with more then that, with no worries. He was quite possibly in one of the worst areas in the country for this to happen in =/Fiz_The_Toaster said:
Yeah, after not getting busted for stuff that has been determined legal and likely would have been upheld in courts, he got busted for something considered illegal where he was. WHAT A SHOCKING TWIST!Tohuvabohu said:
So has my friend, and when I told him this story he laughed hysterically.Richard Allen said:
It's all fun and games until you get arrested for a DUI cause you have a closed container in your back seat... stupid laws like this can screw anyone over, not just potheads, remember that =PFiz_The_Toaster said:
