Government picks and chooses which laws to enforce

| February 11, 2016 12:45 PM

Where to start? A while back, law enforcement agencies were attending a conference in Chelan. Many agencies traveling there were speeding through a Washington State Patrol speed trap and none were ticketed. In Baltimore and Ferguson, whether the police are guilty or not guilty does not allow large groups of protesters to destroy public and private property, and then have some public officials tell the police officers to give them space. I am fairly confident that the cities did not help private businesses rebuild. Marijuana in Washington and Colorado, the states legalized it. And, just so you know, I am not against “pot.” If you want to be stoners, go for it. But the federal government has a law against this. Congress should change the law, but until they do, pot should be illegal.
