Fake LSD candy story 'crossed the line' says police chief

Douglas College newspaper editor says the fake story was meant as a joke

CBC News Posted: Nov 14, 2013 6:47 AM PT| Last Updated: Nov 14, 2013 6:50 AM PT



A Douglas College student newspaper has apologized to police in New Westminster for publishing a fake story alleging police mistakenly distributed lollipops laced with LSD to children on Hallowe'en.


The newspaper, called the The Other Press published the story as a joke last week, but New Westminster Police Chief David Jones says he did not find it funny at all.


The fake story described how on Halloween night, police mixed up candy for kids with a drug seizure and handed out hundreds of lollipops laced with LSD.

"Every year during Halloween, New Westminster police hand out candy from the Columbia Street precinct. This year was no different, except that instead of getting simple grape-flavoured lollipops, a few hundred children received grape-flavoured LSD lollipops," the newspaper said in the fake story.

"New Westminster police are keeping mostly quiet on the issue, but are saying that the problem likely arose when a drug enforcement officer seized a package and left it on his desk instead of in the lock-up. The police force is apologizing for its drug distribution, but also believe that the issue has been blown out of proportion," the made-up article said.

The made-up story included a quote from a school principal saying she called 911 when "one child thought a unicorn really was about to stab him."

Not funny, says police chief

But Chief Jones says other than a "Humour" label near the top of the webpage, the paper gave no indication the entire piece was fake.     

Jones says several readers and members of the police force raised concerns about the story, prompting him to issue a public statement saying the story was untrue and that he believed the paper, "crossed a line" and asking for a retraction and apology.


The editor in chief Jacey Gibb initially defended the piece, saying it was clearly fake, and pointed out it included a photoshopped image of a kid with a My Little Pony.


But after receiving the chief's complaint, Gibb said the paper would immediately pull the story down.

"While it's unfortunate the article was misinterpreted as factual, we also have a responsibility to make the distinction crystal clear and apologize to the NWPD for the confusion and any offence they have taken to their reputation," said a statement issued by Gibb.

Ironic, no police department ever offered up and appology for the bullshit they have circulated for decades about 'blue star lsd tattos' and such. These guys (leos') wll not give up easily.

Rocks speak to me, and tell me this:
The Hell Creek formation is a gigantic slab of rocks that covers several western states. It contains an account of the dinosaurs' demise.  In the late Cretaceous period, the first Cannabis species appear, and soon after, all the non-bird dinosaurs disappeared. Obviously, marihuana killed the dinosaurs. That giant meteor that smacked the yucatan peninsula right afterwards, coincidence.

it's just a couple editorial errors, that's all.

all they have to do is change "police officers" to "the CIA", LSD to cocaine and "children on Halloween" to "black people in the ghetto during the 80s".

Hrm, they get all upset when a someone posts a comedic story about them, yet have no qualms about lying under oath if it gets them a conviction and they can get away with it.
