  1. A huge problem,and all across the nation,is not being able to hold prosecutors accountable for their actions.They can and do prosecute outrageous cases with impunity,knowing they won't/can't be held liable in any way.Many innocent people are in prison,many are in there for purely political reasons(just look at Assange).There needs to be mechinisms in place to hold these people accountable for their actions

  2. Tax dollars at work. Ridiculous. Legislators supposed to work for us. It's time to tax it and federally legalize cannabis.

  3. It's a good thing that this prosecutor is going after this activist under the unconstitutional wire tapping charge. I actually hope he's convicted so that this can go to federal court on appeal. Best of luck to this young man.

  4. Until ATF signs off on this drug there's going to be 'wiggle room' in it enough for the Gov'mint to arrest anyone who makes it look fun and reasonably safe.
    You want that marijuana card? Well sign right there, but its a national register for people who use the drug and it's held by a 'governing body' that has NO loyalty to it's oath, it's word, it's written promises.

  5. Yes, he took $42k from Big Pharma. But he also took $311k from healthcare professionals. Hospitals and doctors also have an incentive to support Big Pharma in preventing self-treatment for pain and insomnia and anxiety through marijuana.

  6. It's time for us not to stand by no longer,what I don't understand if we lie to Congress it's a felony but Congress lied to us , It's just politics,, let's take control and show who they work for ,,,we don't work for them they work for us ,and this person needs help y'all should back this person up, for not doing anything wrong but for doing the right thing.?

  7. Dude needs another lawyer. And the law doesn't care whether you know or not. Ignorance of the LAW is not a defense. And yet people are still too stupid to get rid of CRIMINAL "law" and allow this oppression upon us all. The people have no "will" because representative democracy is a FARCE.

  8. Mr. Burdett is not a real activist, if he was, he would have stood his ground instead of surrendering to coercion. Unjust laws should never be obeyed. He had a chance to help bring about change, but instead got scared and backed down. Yes, activism is dangerous, it's part of the price for freedom. When the state can intimidate you into submission, that isn't justice, that's criminal intimidation. I understand Mr. Burdett's position, but he cannot call himself a true activist; he is a wannabe activist that backs down under pressure. Maybe he learned his lesson, I don't know, but either you stand your ground or you don't. Maybe as he gets older, he will become more of a man…

  9. Those kind of story who would make u think twice before u vote for a scumb bag like that 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😣😣😣

  10. The fact that the ACLU didn't call you to take this pro bono is very telling of what they have become=Controlled Opposition for the establishment=oligarchy. How can business's/banks/police stations/the Federal Govt. record you yet you can't record a politician? It's not as if people have a real choice weather to leave their own property or to use a bank or go to the town hall but yet they claim you give up YOUR Right to privacy yet they themselves are not subject to this? That isn't what the Constitution says. This system is that of rulers & serfs plain & simple & sadly yes this isn't something you can fix at the ballot box or through any branch of govt. since they have all been entirely subverted as they are filled with people who are knowingly working as subversives for an oligarchy. Revolution followed by Direct Democracy is the only legit answer to this everything anything else would be some perversion & quickly co-opted into a different version of puppet theatre.

  11. I hate tgis fucking world. Sometimes I just wish these psychopaths would push the big red button and get it over with.

  12. this "two party consent" thing inevitably would make much of investigative journalism illegal.. that is fecking insane .. and obviously "unconstitutional" (to use fav phrase of most americans)

  13. I don't care what people do, or how they go about getting what they need, I no longer care about their new version of the rule of law. Our rights don't matter to them, and their titles mean nothing to me.

  14. So Paul Manafort gets four years instead of 19+ recommended in sentencing guidelines. 1 bank programmer goes to jail for the financial crisis. Meanwhile a kid faces 10 years for filming a public official without his consent?

    Land of the free? What a joke.

  15. There is no reason to mess with people over the herb called cannabis that has killed no one, it's time to organize a march to end this BS once and for all. The ruling class are psychopaths and hellbent on criminalizing normal people.

  16. Benjamin Franklin, writing in The Pennsylvania Gazette, April 8, 1736, wrote of the American doctrine behind freedom of speech and of the press:

    Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins. Republics and limited monarchies derive their strength and vigor from a popular examination into the action of the magistrates.

  17. I'm an old man who, in the course of my life, lost all respect for the criminal justice system. It's not that everyone in it is bad but the bad far outweigh the decent. My basic concept of prosecutors is they are scum. Rigid, structured fanatics with little concept of justice. I worked close enough to it all that I have my bag of stories.

  18. So basically.. Our Servants win again…and again..
    When Will We The People had enough…?? Time for us to Unite and Take back OUR Country from these Self Serving Gov parasites…. Only We The People can make America Great again..!!!
    Our Fore Fathers Are Rolling in Their Graves..!!!!
