Andrew Carroll's Marijuana Protest - 2 of 2

Andrew Carroll possessed marijuana in public - alerting the cops and media in advance - in a protest against the ludicrous marijuana laws. He held a plant in his hand and was arrested for it. These 2 videos contain his protest speech, the arrest, and his release from the police kidnappers.

It's a ludicrous "crime." Good luck with your protest. Have you considered moving to NH where the state is a teensy bit freeer and where you'll have tons of people to support you in protesting and trying to shrink the government?

was that puke, smoking marijuana? :)))

[mcmikemn]

hehe. Puke was there, but no one was smoking marijuana. :)

it bugs the shit outta me that you're calling other humans NAZIS. thats just total disrespect.

kill the jews? you're a dick

[mcmikemn]

That seems like an odd response to me. Instead of calling the people who act like Nazis "dicks," you call the person who points it out a "dick."

Calling these police officers Nazis is idiotic. Which of the 25 planks of the Nazi platform do they subscribe to? I know people use Nazi to mean tyrannical, but it just makes you sound stupid and unthoughtful. If you mean tyrannical, say that. If you mean actual Nazi, please be specific.

Andrew had it right. Andrew being civil to the cops helps encourage people to focus on the message instead of people yelling like grade schoolers.

Just another hippie pot smoking moron.

The root of this problem is the prohibition of Marijuana.People have to hide their Medicine similar to how the Jews had to hide from the nazis, I completely understand your metaphor however I must say it was unnecessary to say those Police Officers were behaving like nazis. Wouldn't be surprised if those cops secretly used cannabis themselves. Good luck with the Protest and continue fighting for Legalization!

Wow...worst protesters EVER.....first of all calling any human who is just doing there job a NAZI is the most despicable thing I have ever heard. It's obvious the officer that did not arrest him really did not want to do anything but he HAS to because you IDIOTS are filming him....imagine if his supervisor saw this video and he didn't do anything???? he'd be fired. Instead of waisting your time ragging on cops trying to make a living, why don't you start a proposition, or start lobbying.

@mcmikemn you DARE to compare some idiot holding a bit of marijuana in public to the wholesale collection and slaughter of human beings? Fuck you.

@scolaynic i thought you could only serve up to 12 months in a county correctional facility? Or does it vary from state to state?

[TheShhiiiiiiiit]

Awesome strategy. Very good idea to put the pressure on the officers and do it on camera by asking socratic questions. Socrates would be proud.

there falsely arresting people not violating anyone or anything for laws that violate the constitution which they pledged to uphold. there is no damage to anyone and no victim. freedom of speech is one of those laws. actually if you think about it the cops are the criminals.

[x11115]

the problem is that the people that do the assaulting aren't the a-1 targets. people have a right to pursue happiness and use pot if they wish to do so. the laws are made by lobbyist with no intent on to help the individual but to protect the industries that benefit from mj being illegal. Thomas Edison even made a car out of hemp that was light weight and pliable. The real reason it's against the law is because it's useful. But I shouldn't have to convey all that to protect basic rights.

they dont HAVE to. turn a blind eye. use discretion. dont become a cop. what if it was illegal for women to go out in public. and an officer arrests a woman for it even though he disagrees with the law. the officer is still doing WRONG. the law does not equate to justice in all cases.

[ronpaulsucks1]

these cops are just doing their jobs!!!

most cops i know don't like arresting people for pot
