[MadBadger]

Just saw it on MSNBC...ignoring the fact that I cant believe they arrested anybody...why isnt Phelps one of them?

1. The bong owner tried to sell it on Ebay for 100K.

Not a very smart thing to do since the sheriff warned he'd make arrests, including Phelps.

[MadBadger]

2. If 8 people were arrested, why wasnt Phelps one of them?

[Avalux]

3. Maybe because he's not in South Carolina?

Especially since the sheriff publicly stated he'd be arrested.

19. Sir Sir just back off the bong..before ya do somethin stoopid

like try to sell it on ebay! wtf arrest 8 people for being present?
On what proof? Makes ya wonder if the cops were high too. and if so I want some of that!
BTW it IS South Carolina "we don need any stinking evidence, we arrest you because we say so!"
I used to live in NaziBama , pretty much the same shit there too. As I have first hand experience.

23. Oh. My. Some people really have a bad case of the stupids. How could you be so dumb? n/t

[AlCzervik]

4. so which one of them sold the pics to the media?

5. There had better be physical evidence to execute arrests...

Otherwise I forsee the 8 thrown out cases in the near future...

6. I can now

feel safer knowing that 8 young people who smoked some pot are off the streets. I wasn't able to get to sleep knowing they were on the loose. :eyes:

Another reason to stay away from dumbassalvania.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

13. Are you an artist by any chance?

[QueenOfCalifornia]

16. !

Yes... and a writer. :scared:

:D Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here!

[MrPerson]

22. Just trying to find what condition your condition was in.

[Earth_First]

12. Fuc*kin'-A right, man!

9. Isn't the photo of him self-incriminating?

I'm no lawyer..

[hvn_nbr_2]

11. Only if Bill Frist can do spectroscopy from a photograph. nt

[Earth_First]

14. What was he smoking out of the apparatus?

Tobbacco? Catnip? Marijuana?

Evidence a photograph cannot deliver.

p.s. I'm no lawyer either, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night...

24. oops...wrong place

[ret5hd]

25. you are correct...

you are no lawyer.

15. They sell bongs, pipes, etc., at the tobacco store, for pete's sake.

This is another trickle-down effect from the BushCheney mentality; the fact that BushCheney weren't punished for the same strong-arming allows Homeland Security policemen to continue acting like Russia's KGB.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

17. Is that

what the kids call it now a-days? We just called them head shops. :)

[pacalo]

27. Yeah, I remember using that term.

They probably still exist, but I was referring to the straight-up discount tobacco stores around town where most people go to buy cigarettes/cigars.

18. What a waste of taxpayer money

Legalize pot and tax the hell out of it. And no, I'm not a smoker; just tired of the stupid waste of money on "fighting evil pot".

[originalpckelly]

20. ENOUGH! ENOUGH! ENOUGH!

This is a BUNCH OF BULLSHIT! Good fucking God, we need to push back.

[Old and In the Way]

21. Obviously, this police department has too much time and resources to be this unproductive.

Time for some serious budget cuts. We really need to decriminalize stupid pot laws. This will also take away the financial incentive that is causing real carnage south of the border.
