The RCMP are deliberately inflicting pain and punishment on people who were no harm to anyone. Your gutless defence of this unnecessary and hurtful police investigation is what perpetuates injustice in this country. A newspaper is supposed to represent the underclassses, the oppressed, the marginalized, those without access to power, the ordinary person who has no other voice in the community. You have chosen to advocate the cause of the elite and the powerful, who also carry guns to enforce their sometimes unjust cause. That is, to me, the definition of disgrace when it comes to the core values of a newspaper. Marc Emery, President, BC Marijuana Party - --- MAP posted-by: Elaine
