Oh that's a Fark T if there ever was. But you're only eligible to wear it if you can repeat that three times in 20 seconds.

Land of the free, hooray! Who the fark doesn't want to legalize it at this point?

Fark the politicians and pigs and everyone else who still lets crap like this happen.

fail for subby, i thought you made that up but its the article title...

/unless you wrote it then +1, if not -100

i realize this kind of headlines require some creativity and thought. even with that in mind i hate them the most.

good job subby, but i must kill you now.

Aliteration hits YOU for 256 points of DAMAGE!

What a total farkin waste of time, resources, and money going after guys like this.

I find it fitting that the Weeners to this headline involved clappers. (new window)

What, no codename V image?

Why, hi there, filter!

erveek

I had never seen that Carson sketch before. That may be the best thing I'll see today.

Dear God. It looks like Fark is leaking onto the internet at large now.

Heaven help us all.

TFA headline has an extra P word. Control+C, then Control+V.

You're trying too hard.

What's the people's problem with Papaya Patty?

That aliterative headline is second only to...

That's gotta be worth 40 years.

FTFA: Carlos "Trey" Ray Hoskins III

Trey Ray?

Put this guy in prison so that Americans are forced to buy from south (and north) of the border. Brilliant.

Will there ever be a cop who, when told someone is growing pot in his jurisdiction, just shrugs and says, "we've got bigger fish to fry?"

...penis.

onomatopoeia FTW!!!!

Young Rory Calhoun: onomatopoeia FTW!!!!

uhhh don't you mean alliteration

Illiterate Alliteration

Police put purported pothead in pokey, pinched placing potted pot placed on porch perch

Yes..in the Pacific NW. I've had cops and paramedics in my apartment several times, with a few plants in plain view. They never took the plants nor my personal stash. All I ever got from them was kindness and well wishes.

/that was *before* I was legal

Magic Kingdom: Illiterate Alliteration

That makes more sense. The original headline read as though the POLICE were caught planting evidence.

Given the mugshot, we might as well go to
Police put puffy, placid purported pothead pimp in putrid pokey, pinched potted pot placed proudly on porch perch, provoking preening pompous pigs

O_O Holy shiat!

There are some. But narcotics/vice cops are by and large douchebags

Psychotropic: I for one, feel much safer knowing this hardcore drug user is off the street.

Hear hear! You have restored my faltering faith in America and her upstanding values, sir!

I'm also giddy with joy over the increased demand for prisons and prison-support this arrest and others like it make! It's creating jobs and demand for a plethora of industries!

GOD do I have a hardon for farking FREEEEDOM farkYEAH!

Been there, done that. Cops got 13 plants and took off. Never to hear from them again. It must have been good shiat!!!

"IN" and "ON"... just like my ool.
Back to the drawing board, hard tryer.

Damn this shiat angers me. First of all, the neighbor who ratted him out is an uptight prick. Secondly, who the hell cares!!! Most importantly, I have a 2 foot tall male plant on my fenced in patio that I'm growing for the hell of it. If some cock peeks through the slats and calls the cops, can I be arrested? It has no buds, so it probably has no THC. (Like I said, i'm just growing it for fun, i like plants, I don't know how to grow buds) If so, then whatever, bring it on. The arresting officer probably went home that night and slammed a six pack of Budweiser. Land of the free!!! Hooray!!!

Police arrested and charged Carlos " Trey" Ray Hoskins III with cultivation of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The horror. Around here they call it "criminal possession of dangerous drugs" or something. I said that if I ever got busted, I'd go into court and ask the judge to explain why pot was a "dangerous" drug. I bet that would go over well.

/20 years, no parole.

Looked into this defense myself... apparently, back in the 1840-50's, the Supreme Court ruled that you cannot argue the validity of the law as a part of your defense. That was my understanding at least. I am sure someone on here with more legal understanding than I would be willing to comment in more depth, but I do know that, outside of TV and movies, you cannot debate the merits of the law for which you are accused.

I would guess it is due to one being a legislative action and the other a judicial action; and how those two things are supposed to be separate and checked against one another. I did not read anything other than the summary, to be honest, as it depressed me so.

/Had such a good speech all worked up in my head and everything.

Gumby was visibly distraught.

Articulate authors always avoid angst about abstracts, avowing alliteration as an awesomely agile alternative

/limited myself to 60 secs :-)

NCP69: fail for subby, i thought you made that up but its the article title...

/unless you wrote it then +1, if not -100

So which is it?

/subby

Also, apparently the author is also aware that alliteration is always awesome.

Not until we overturn all the civil forfeiture laws that allow those cops confiscate his car, his house, and everything inside as "evidence" and auction it all off.

Not until we stop letting the prison-for-profit industry lobby lawmakers for more and more peaceful prisoners it costs them pennies to incarcerate (as opposed to those expensive hardened criminals).

See what happens when you forget the sarcasm tag, Psychotropic?

Young Rory Calhoun: onomatopoeia

No, onomatopoeia is vowel-sounds. This was alliteration.

We still arrest people for this plant?

GDubDub: No, onomatopoeia is vowel-sounds. This was alliteration.

No, onomatopoeia is when a word's pronunciation sounds like what it describes, such as "plop" or "fizz."

Alliteration is a repeated sound at the beginning of each word. The repeated sound is typically but not exclusively consonant. (See the second definition.)

GDubDub:

In other words I was saying you were half right.

this man gives potheads everywhere a bad name.

your front porch? seriously? of course im on the side of complete legalization of it... but the fact is. it isnt.*facepalm
