Enough! This has officially gone too far. The authorities are now arresting people that happened to be at the party that Michael Phelps allegedly smoked a bong at. Apparently, the idea is to arrest someone, ostensibly a friend or acquaintence, and shake them down until they admit that they saw Mr. Phelps actually smoking pot.
Police have so far arrested 8 people who were at the party in question, charging them with possession of a small amout of marijuana. Sherriff Leon Lott, the man in charge of his particular debacle, sent 12 armed police officers, with weapons drawn I might add, to serve the search warrants to find these illicit substances.
These 8 people were clearly not drug dealers. Any minor amount of detective work would have told the police that. So why such a large show of force. Could it be that this hillbilly Sherriff wants to get his face on TV? Or maybe he really thinks that someone smoking a little dope is actually a threat to the public. Well, allow me to clue him in. The only thing that a dope smoker threatens is the nations supply of cheetos.
Now all of the personal opinions aside (for now), does Sherriff Lott really think he could make any charges stick to Mr. Phelps. Let's see what the prosecution has. A photo of Mr. Phelps holding a bong to his mouth, and maybe someones word that they saw him smoking dope. I'm pretty sure a first year law student could beat this charge.
"Uh, Your Honour, that wasn't pot in the bong, it was tobacco. It doesn't matter what Witness X says was in there, because it's his word against my client's."
"Hmm" Judge scratches his head. "Hmm" Takes a drink of water. "Well, case dismissed then"
The whole damn thing is a fucking charade (I'm back to personal opinions in case you hadn't guessed). Not to mention a waste of money and man power. If Sherriff Lott wants to do something about drugs he should go after the dealers and suppliers. This is why I think it's either a power trip, or an ego trip. "Hey Ma, lookit! I'm on the pic-a-ture box! Hya Hee HEE!"
Michael Phelps isn't helping himself either. He has said he had "bad and stupid judgement, and it's something I'll always live with". Lighten up you dolt (and get a better grip on the english language)! You (allegedly) smoked some dope. Get over it. Stop beating yourself up over it. Beat yourself up for the drinking and driving you were previously charged with. Remember you shithead, you've won more gold medals than anyone in history. Who cares if you smoked a bowl?
Of the last two Presidents of the united States, one admited to smoking dope. The other admitted to using cocaine. The cocaine user started a war causing the death of thousands of Americans (not to mention Iraqis). The pot smoker got a blow job.
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
