Our government has decided that the guy in this article is one of the baddest dudes on the DEA watch list. They want the Canadian government to turn him over so that he can be tried in the US. According to our laws he could face life in prison, in Canada the most recent person convicted of the same crime had to pay a $200 fine.
Why does our government have to be such cocksuckers?
I wonder what O'Reilly or Rush would say about this guy? Here are some talking points from the article...
ReplyDeleteMuch of the marijuana crossing the border is smuggled by Asian and motorcycle gangs but the U.S. government says Marc Emery is responsible for more marijuana in the United States than any known gang. Seriously... the triad are everywhere!?!
Larry Campbell, a Canadian senator who formerly served on the drug squad of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, is well aware of Marc Emery.
Asked what he thinks of U.S. officials' stance that Emery is a major drug trafficker, Campbell says laughing, "Well, if he, if they consider that, then they have bigger problems than I can even imagine. There’s simply no way he’s a major anything."
Seems like the Canadians have a very different view of how to fight "the war on drugs".
