A friend of mine was very supportive of Obama's DOJ going after a group of 35 low income households in Santa Rosa Calif., back on Sept 27th 2012. No warrants were issued, except for the very first household! The police then decided since on e person was growing in their backyard, more people could be growing the stuff, so they went in to home after home after home. People handcuffed and left sitting on the curb, the kids and babies crying.
My friend has supported Med marijuana legalization, but he refused to get mad at Obama. "These people are probably Mexican illegals" he said with a smirk. I was very disgusted to find out how racist, and class-fixated his views were, as he had accused me of being racist for not supporting Obama in all of his many activities that I view as illegal and immoral (The drone attacks on third world people, his response to BP, his support of the NDAA etc.)
My RW Christian-fanatic neighbor was very upset about the same activity - she does social work and can think of no reason at all to justify all these kids being put into foster care, the families sure to be facing huge debts to handle court costs etc.
