[HiTCheR]

What a shame... what happened to the officer that shot him? Was he prosecuted?

[Aimer]

This story makes me so angry

[Draketh]

Raid proof your house with a fuel air mixture? What the FUCK are they talking about in that second article someone posted? Turning your house into a fuel air bomb? Fuuuuuck that.

Excerpt from Dayton Daily News interview with Sheriff Tom Hayes of Preble County, Ohio on the shooting of Clayton Helriggle by Officer Kent Moore. Interviewers, Cathy Mong of the Dayton Daily News and Galileo Galilei, 16th century scientist.

G. Galilei: Sheriff Hayes, bring us up to date on the investigation into the killing of Mr. Helriggle during a pot raid on his home.

Sheriff Hayes: It appears Lewisburg Officer Kent Moore was overcame by the excitement of the moment. It looks like we killed another kid needlessly.

G. Galilei: You were quoted in the evening news as saying there was marijuana trafficking taking place at the farmhouse. Was that the case?

Sheriff Hayes: No, just some good old boys with a few joints. We had 15 men enter the farmhouse with automatic weapons, flashbang grenades, full body armor. It was just like in the movies. Like I said though, in the heat of the moment, Officer Moore, blew away the kid. On advice of our lawyers, we have to use words like trafficking. You see there is a lot of liability to go around and we have to cover our tracks. Protect our own, if you will.

G. Galilei: Could you explain what you mean?

Sheriff Hayes: Sure. Law enforcement in these parts has always been curious as to what goes on in that farmhouse. Mind you, we had no legal basis to be snooping so we jacked an "informant" to fabricate some trafficking nonsense. Judge Paul Henry issued a warrant, knowing that the basis for that issuance was suspect. My Sheriff department supplied that information. Remember, more then a dozen shots were fired in that farmhouse, all by law enforcement. We are lucky we did not kill more people.


G. Galilei: What happens from here?

Sheriff Hayes: Officer Moore shot that kid unnecessarily. If it was my child, I would consider this act a blood debt. Think about this, because of some dried weeds, two families have been destroyed. Folks, if you are going to smoke marijuana, you need to consider making your house raid proof. As outlined in ashcroft_balko.html, the dual-fuel air mixture setup will insure that no raid can take place without destroying the raiding party.

Attorney General John Ashcroft responds: The War on Drugs is indeed a War. It is a domestic war that has killed too many Americans and has destroyed too many families. It is incumbent upon all freedom loving Americans to resist when possible, repel when necessary. I ask Freedom loving Americans to comply not at all, to die not alone. To those who would propagate the War on Drugs and would take your life, take their life first. To those who would propagate the War on Drugs and take the lives of your family members, take the lives of their family members. The Revolutionary War was predicated on smaller and fewer atrocities upon the Colonies then what the American people are now experiencing in the fifty states....

I have an extremely hard time believing any of this interview. There is no way that a sheriff would simply throw one of his officers under the bus like that, and admit that there was no basis for them even going into the house. If he actually said that, he basically just guarunteed that officer of a man slaughter conviction.

YOU Should Of Picked 1
WASTE Those Pigs Time

This whole thing has me basically ENRAGED, right now. Even though it did happen a few years ago, its still news to me, and just as heartbreaking. Wtf is up with that cop going "Because of dried weeds, two families are destroyed". BECAUSE of dried weeds? I just think its really FUCKED UP how its being blamed on the marijuana, yet it was already stated that that cop was "overcame with excitement of the moment". Yea, it was the pot, not one of the fucking 10 SHOTS that were fired, douchebags. Also, note that they had prior suspicions, and just HAD to know what was going on in that farmhouse. It just seems like its building into some sort of anti-hippy conspiracy. I personally hope that cop has nightmares for the rest of his life...

I'm going to get an 1/8th tonight and smoke all of it in memory of this truly innocent stoner. FUCK THE MAN!!!

[Captainjack]

Cops almost shot me for holding a blue glass medical marijuana jar...may this man rest in peace, I was shocked to read this and was thinking it could have been me. Truly a trajedy.

[smokingjoe68]

this is just disgusting. the murderous pigs were high fiving while they were taking the dead man's friends out. this kind of thing is just a sport for them. it is their form of recreation it would appear. this was less than 5 years ago. I'm in shock, I don't really know what to say. does anyone have any updates on what happened to the pig, if anything?

[ISTANDALONE]

dude, as old as this thread is, i've never seen it. and not to sound like a pussy but it brought a tear to my eye, thinking about this murdered dudes friends and family. and i'm sure (although it's not right) that this is going to make us potheads look even worse. fucking pigs.
