This blog was supposed to promote our computer support and digital design services. We retouch and restore photos, convert vinyl and VHS to disk. We offer a photography service, computer repairs, troubleshooting and offer a confidential computer security service. It's now more of a place for me to rant and rave about what I believe in.

50 Police to Raid A Few Hippies - Overkill?

Posted at 18:23, Wed 2 April 2008 in Stand up for your rights

On April Fools Day, at 11:30 am, NSW Police raided a number of shops in Nimbin. I'd like to know why it took 50 officers to do this.  I doubt that 50 police would be deployed to a seige where some nut-case was holding hostages in a house or building.

From the Northern Star website:

"EVERYBODY get down on the ground." Those were the first words Nimbin resident Nurit heard when 50 police from across the State yesterday raided the Nimbin Museum, Hemp Embassy and Hemp Bar.

The Hemp Embassy has a statement and photos on their site:

Nimbin Hemp Embassy

Even if you are opposed to Cannabis, don't you think 50 police against a few hippies is a gross waste of time, money and resources?

Your comments and opinions would be appreciated.

You don't have to agree or disagree with a blog, and whilst you have one yourself you can make unlimited comments about another's blog. Not providing the option for comments on an entry is not unusual; the blog after all is an individuals thoughts, musings, life journal or whatever. I disagree with some of your comments, but accept them and you are going to have to accept that there are many different opinions in this world. The blog you have referred to doesn't piss me off or disgust me as it is a written view of life through one individuals eyes - it is strong and it is bigoted, but being allowed to express it is no different from you expressing your views.

Well...maybe

I find it a little arrogant that one can post their opinions for the world to see, but not have the decency to allow others to publicly agree or disagree with them. Given 'disgusted's public views on the world, don't you think it appropriate that he should be open to discussion on the matter?
It's much the same as someone walking up to you in the street and saying "all poofters should be shot", but then walking away when you try to respond.
Given his strong views in a public setting, I think it should be open for discussion.
But then, it's not my blog I guess.

Cheers
