Pot Ring Busted Smuggling Weed in Mobile Home

042309bud.jpg Damn brah, the feds are hell bent on harshing the vibe this summer. On April 9th, three men were nailed on Staten Island for moving "large quantities" of marijuana from as far away as Mexico using a mobile-home. Now that's what we call a Wide Bong Load. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents tailing the mobile home observed it pull over around 9:30 a.m. on a service road to the Goethals Bridge. They say suspects Joseph Pousa and Anthony Orfanos, both from Queens, then unloaded 13 parcels filled with marijuana from the mobile home to a rental van. Investigators then tailed the duo, who were still shamefully oblivious to the surveillance, to a warehouse where a third suspect, Joseph Wiseman, rolled up in a totally inconspicuous gold S.U.V. And after reading this account in the Staten Island Advance, we've gone from the usual surge of outrage over the government's draconian drug laws to thinking New Yorkers really deserve more circumspect drug smugglers than these alleged clowns. They were charged in Brooklyn federal court for their failed attempt to distribute marijuana.

Thanks government, for keeping me safe!

this sucks, but mexican weed is usually crap anyway.

why the all the sarcasm about the gold SUV? i see gold SUVs driving around all the time. it's a pretty common color that car manufacturers offer.
