HEAVILY-ARMED NINJA-CLAD THIEVES

Dear Editor,

I totally agree with Bob Wood's Jan. 19th letter regarding the drug
raids.

I know what he was talking about, because I am a victim of one of
those terrorist raids.

Heavily-armed ninja-clad thieves broke into my home and robbed me.
They claimed that an anonymous source told them that I had marijuana
in my home. They went through my house as if they were at an estate
sale. They stole anything they wanted to steal. They took my wallet
right out of my pocket and stole all of my cash, and I had just cashed
my disability check. They stole my 20 ga. shotgun that I bought 20
years ago and have not used in 15 years.

They still were not satisfied cleaning out my home. They went outside,
looked my truck over, and decided to steal it as well. If it was not
bad enough being robbed, I had to be subjected to these young heavily
armed hoodlums terrorizing me, screaming and yelling at me and
ordering me around in my own home.

I am not a drug dealer nor do I support the illegal drug trade in any
way, shape or form. In no way am I now or have I ever been a threat to
society.

I was raised in a Christian home and have read the Holy Bible my
entire life. I believe that people have a God-given right to use the
all natural medical herb cannabis. After all, how was the Cannabis
plant used during Biblical times? It was used as clothing, paper,
cord, sails, fishnet, oil, sealant, incense, food, and in ceremony,
relaxation and medicine.

These raids remind me of a passage from the Holy Bible, "Beware of
wolves in sheep's clothing." In my opinion, the people supporting and
carrying out this drug war are wolves in sheep's clothing.

Before they drove my truck out of my yard, I begged them to leave me
my truck full of wood that I had just purchased, because it was my
only source of heat for my home. I was desperate: I had no money to
buy more wood, nor a truck to haul it with. I was afraid that my
parrot would freeze to death. One of the thieves looked to another and
said, "I guess we could leave him his wood, we don't want to look too
dirty."

If you would like to help put an end to these terrorizing raids, you
can go to stopthedrugwar.org and sign the petition to our government
entitled "Enough is Enough."
