Medical marijuana grower killed by police...
January 5, 2008 6:09 AM   Subscribe

...and the information that the guy is a medical marijuana grower/thyroid cancer survivor is nowhere to be found in the article on Raleigh's right-wing WRAL news site, however, it's the SECOND link returned upon doing a Google search. Not only is it a link, it's an explanation in this guy's own words of how he got in trouble (he even mentions owning a pistol...the gun that shot the deputy?) and what happened to him, before he busted out. This is completely omitted in the news site's article, which only mentions that the guy is a big bad wanted felon. Instead the focus is on the sheriff's deputy who got shot in the leg. And there's the typical type of commentary from the local collection of mouth-breathers.

In regards to the sheriff's deputy, yeah I guess.

The bigger picture is plain rotten. I don't smoke pot, so I have no hidden motive here. I just read the news this morning and started snooping around and found this different angle to the story.

Oh, and managed to botch the title of the post.

if he hadn't have been stoned, he might have been a better shot
