Kinda fucked up how the law assumes you're neglecting your kids just because you have a hobby going on. It's not really neglect, and it's only endangerment because of the danger of cops busting in and taking them.

Meanwhile how many alcoholic and or abusive parents keep their kids

Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

The location matches, someone here probably knows him, and his name including UHS suggests he went to union high school and didn't do very good OPSEC.

Hm, I read it the other way, they called the DSS when they found children while searching the house for the drug stuff.

Unfortunately the state does the same thing with kids as they would for a meth lab or mushroom grow op. It's all "drugs" to them.

It's a shame. I always wonder how they got discovered when I see these articles. Maybe someone they were selling to flipped on them.

Must have brought in some real experts. Apparently this mushroom lab had a ventilation hood and not a laminar flow hood.

After ripping this family apart, the righteous Drug Warriors will head home, spend time with their own families and sleep like babies.
They'll feel proud of what they've accomplished today. Maybe, just maybe, an innocent child will be spared the fate of becoming a mushroom addict. If they can keep just one kid from ending up selling her body for the next mushroom fix, it will all have been worth it.

I'm saying it makes sense for it to be him, since he hasn't been on here in two days and the report was made since then. I thought it was in question if it were him or not.

I see. Well its been confirmed by two trustworthy members but I'm not going to say who. Its UHSiceman. All you can do now really is hope the law doesn't come down on him and his prego wife too hard. Hopefully they will get their kids back.

Godspeed to him and his family. I'll be praying for him. Nothing worse than having your balls in the hands of the man. I only hope that one day the pigs will realize the damage they cause.

Many of them have... unfortunately most only speak up after retiring. Still, it's something. They do a lot of media appearances and ex-cops seem to be really good at convincing people to reexamine the Drug War.

I don't mean just the drug war. My girl backed into a parked car and the person was came out and wanted to report it, they were very nice. Cop leaves and two days later we get a $135 fine for "Improper backing up". Why in god's name do the cops get to extort $135 out of us for an accident that didn't involve endangering society in any way. There was barely a dent. To people on a strict budget like we are that causes major rifts and can cause stress for a couple weeks. They do this to countless people every day without batting an eye.
Thanks, I needed somewhere to rant about that.

Did they eventually call the bomb squad and evacuate a 1/4 mile radius? If they didn't they should of. 24 cakes are the bomb! You're perceived to be strange compared to Mormons? How are the Jehovah's witnesses treating you? I'd say they're just as nutty. Maybe it's better that you weren't growing weed cause a state of emercency woulda been called.
Sorry to pick on your situation. Any involvement with the pigs is rarely fun or turns out well. I just find the overreaction comical. It was probably field training for a future meth lab bust.
