Criminal Mishaps

A man was arrested when he called the police to say he was being held up by someone who wanted his pot. Yes, even criminals want justice, even though they don't necessarily think another step ahead. The NY Post reports that Jean Mere (or Meme, we can't tell from the article) is now being held on $2,000 bail after this police account of Mere/Meme's complaint:

"I called the police because someone was trying to rob me of my marijuanaThat is my car and my marijuana. I was going to sell the marijuana."
So, then the police found 8 ounces of pot in his car.

And a Bronx man was charged with assault after he brought in his baby son to a hospital: His baby had a bullet wound in his knee, and the hospital staff called the police. Well, at least, the man brought the baby to be treated. But even though the police think it was accidental, should you really be handling your gun with your baby in the room?

"Criminals want justice"
Pot users are criminals?! I hope this was written with sarcasm.

Pot users are "criminals"?! Yes, its illegal, but easy there, bub. Was this written with sarcasm?

Marijuana is God's gift to mankind!

I really hope thats sarcasm there Jen...

Being forced to separate your weapons from your baby? Baby proofing has gone too far in my opinion. We're forgetting about the importance of natural selection. We need to weed out the weak ones young. The baby in the article, for example, has proven himself prime stock...having survived his first gun shot wound so young.
