Wait, maybe he did it on purpose? Got drunk and committed suicide. Seems like he would remember a piano wire he strung up to kill people.

Booby traps are illegal. I can't say illegal everywhere, but in most states.
Quote:
A booby trap may be defined as any concealed or camouflaged device designed to cause bodily injury when triggered by any action of a person making contact with the device. This term includes guns, ammunition, or explosive devices attached to trip wires or other triggering mechanisms, sharpened stakes, nails, spikes, electrical devices, lines or wires with hooks attached, and devices for the production of toxic fumes or gases.
If a person sets up such a trap to protect his/her property, he/she will be liable for any injury or death even to an unwanted intruder such as a burglar. It is illegal to set a booby trap on one's own property to prevent intruders.

Since when couldn't you hide a dead body?
Did you know in the US over 3/4ths of murders go unsolved? Think about that next time you're watching some police propaganda show where they claim 'its only a matter of time before they catch the killer'

I did not know that, I guess I should of thought better than to use logic based on CSI: Miami.
I was always under the impression that it would be near impossible to get away with murder nowadays thanks to DNA testing, finger printing, etc. I guess not .

The overall homicide rate has dropped drastically, but the % of cases going unsolved has risen. Personally I'm thankful we still retain that freedom
The comment about the police propaganda shows, came out because I know a few people who watch those shows obsessively and whenever I see one playing I have to snicker

It wasn't a booby trap for people.... He was using it for deer. Those fuckers love to eat you're crop. When I lived in the mountains I would do the same thing except with high tensil strength deep sea fishing line. surround the grow site perimeter with it. It would keep deer out by scaring them when they would press up against it. Others measures would include filling up gallon jugs of my urine and emptying around the grow site perimeter.

Well I'm not cool with rape at all, for any reason. Personally I would rather see repeat offenders (2nd offense) served with capital punishment than any alternative.
As far as murder goes I'm mostly not cool with it, but there are rare exceptions.

Fuck your signature is obnoxious.
WTF is obnoxious about the photo?
Your signature is 1,008px × 458px. Any post you make takes up the entire fucking screen. It's obnoxious.

If this guy was paranoid enough to set up traps around his plants then he deserved what he got. He probably shouldn't be growing plants. Its just pot. Dumb people like this make safe and sane individuals look bad. No wonder pot is still illegal.

Alcohol and tobacco users kill themselves everyday, and kill others. They aren't illegal. Matter of a fact, this guy was drunk. Check-mate.

Setting traps is douchey as fuck and this guy got what he deserved. However, the trap was on his own property, so I can't really have that much of a problem with it. Mostly I just fucking hate people who booby trap public land or bring guns on public land to kill people who invade their grow. IDK, just like I'd never want to trip on ripped cactus, I would feel a bad vibe smoking weed that I knew had booby traps on the grow and would pass.

We were not talking about alcohol or tobacco. I do not use either anymore and I agree they are more harmful than mj. I am simply pointing out that when some paranoid pot grower sets up dangerous traps or uses violence to defend a crop they are growing, it sends a negative message to the voting public that marijuana cultivators are violent dangerous people. I don't agree with prohibition I simply see the irony of marijuana activists claiming people like this are justified in their means and are victims of an oppressive system. I don't buy it. I'm all for legalization but we will never get there if we have idiots like this ruining the image of peaceful hippies and plain ol harmless potheads who jus wanna get high. The problem is many people see mary jane as just a source of profit. Look at the reality tv focused on growing medicinal mj or the business programs about the economic implications of a plant that everyone everywhere should be allowed to freely grow. You wouldnt set traps around an herb garden or pumpkin patch would you? Then why marijuana field? The answer is profit and greed. There are too many profiteers exploiting a plant that is supposed to provide relief. They are just as guilty as pharmaceutical companies that refuse medication to the poverty stricken that actually need such medicines. That's my two cents. I wasn't going to say anything but you kinda put words in my mouth and I don't really like that.

Unfortunately this is a marijuana headline, and I agree it reflects negatively on marijuana in general. But, if you really look more deeply this is a rights on private property issue. I live in the suburbs of one of the largest cities in America and I've personally had to trap possums, racoons, and gophers that were causing damage to my property with traps that could potentially injure (but in my case certainly not kill) another person or myself. I can only imagine what it is like for someone out in the country. What if this guy had a problem with wildlife and didn't think people would randomly enter his property uninvited? Is a piece of wire booby trap really going to defeat a DEA squad or help you out your case at all after getting caught?
So let's imagine this news article has some assumptions. They assume this trap was designed to kill people because it accidentally killed someone and was located on the same property as a tiny (4 plants, described in the article as being large plants to add emphasis) marijuana grow. I really doubt any facts were checked here and the lowest underling of some news organization was probably ordered to parrot the offhand comment of some deputy who happened to be at the scene. You can tell by the care taken with how it's written.
I mean, if someone you never met and didn't invite came in your backyard while you were at work and stepped on a rat trap you had set then tried to sue you for their broken toe, would you have much sympathy?
