AggieDave 6 #4 September 19, 2006 Isn't kind of a given that Willie Nelson smokes pot? That's sort of like saying "Bill Clinton likes to sleep with women." Or perhaps, "Samuel Colt liked guns."--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nelson, 73, Them crazy senior citizens Willie makes no secret of his toking. Hell, he's on the board at NORML. You can hear him speak at http://www.norml.org/ Must admit, I am abit surprised about the magic shrooms.

They could've gotten him with 'possession with intent to distribute' (considering the amount). Everyone on the bus, claimed the dope was 'theirs'. It's basically a 'slap on the wrist'. Not petty harrassment at all. The cop was more than fair. Issued tickets all-round and sent them on their merry ways. On the other hand, how can you have 'great respect' for police and in your opening statement, call the police (in this case) 'douchebags'? Doesn't make sense.

It would've had to have been in smaller, separate packages for an 'intent to distribute' charge. Personal possession of that amount in one package... A misdemeanor. Also, I don't think, there was any favoritism shown in this case, either. The cop did his job and no skin off Willie's nose. Probably get a small fine and probation.

ChuckChuck, you & I have dialoged with each other enough about criminal justice & police issues that you should know I do respect police, but I also get outraged at police abuses. They're in no way inconsistent. Any professional - police officer, lawyer, doctor, teacher, clergyman, skydiving instructor - who uses his position to pursue his own agenda (which I consider to be an abuse of position) is a being a douchebag. You & will simply have to agree to disagree on whether bustin' ol' Willie and searching his home-on-wheels was or was not petty harassment. They could have, and should have, just left him the hell alone. He was a well-known long-haired, counter-culture target of opportunity, and they went after him, plain and simple. I have no patience for that kind of chickenshit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's all. Trucks and busses, must stop at the scale houses (when open) for 'checks' of log books, registrations, licensees and etc. It's not like they caught him on the roadside smokin' weed. It's an every day occurrance. Now, the 'Honeysuckle Rose' is a marked bus! Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
