The 29-year-old, identified as Theresa Anthony, had expected to spend just two and a half weeks behind bars in the Harris County lockup. On Saturday, Cynthia Prude, Theresa’s mother, received a phone call from the jail’s Chaplain informing her that her daughter was dead. “I almost got in a wreck,” Prude told the local Fox affiliate. “I thought somebody was playing on the phone. I would like to know what happened to my daughter.” Prude has not been allowed to see the body, nor has the Harris County Sheriff’s Department even spoken with her, according to area media. “Today I still don’t know if that’s my daughter,” Prude told Houston news station KHOU. “I’m only going by a Social Security number that we got from Ben Taub Hospital.” Houston’s Fox affiliate noted that an autopsy has not yet been conducted on Theresa’s body. The Harris County Sheriff Department’s public information officer was not available to answer RAW STORY’s questions. Not the first time It is hardly the first time serious questions surrounded the death of a Harris County inmate. On 4 June 2009, the Justice Department concluded a 15 months-long investigation into the Harris County facility and determined in the subsequent 27-page report that over 142 prisoners had died there since 2001. Most expired due to lack of medical care, the report claims. The Associated Press noted that after the Justice Department declined to make its findings public, The Houston Chronicle was able to obtain a copy, which it released on the Internet. The findings, addressed to Harris County Judge Ed Emmett, lauded the prison’s efforts to maintain security, booking and intake programs and take basic fire safety precautions. The Justice Department said that by these measures, the facility “complies with constitutional requirements in a number of significant respects.” The Justice Department added that in spite of these marginal safety and procedural issues, “certain conditions at the jail violate the constitutional rights of detainees. Indeed, the number of inmate deaths related to inadequate medical care [...] is alarming.” This video is from My Fox Houston, broadcast late Monday, June 22, 2009. Download video via RawReplay.com

This is Sooo in your face to mine former prezidenchal gw bush that I can only laugh at it happening in my lifetime and cheering for more of the same. Let My People Go... get high lol UN Backs Drug Decriminalization In Drug Report Posted by CN Staff on June 24, 2009 at 11:38:59 PT By Ryan Grim Source: Huffington Post World -- In an about face, the United Nations on Wednesday lavishly praised drug decriminalization in its annual report on the state of global drug policy. In previous years, the UN drug czar had expressed skepticism about Portugal's decriminalization, which removed criminal penalties in 2001 for personal drug possession and emphasized treatment over incarceration. The UN had suggested the policy was in violation of international drug treaties and would encourage "drug tourism." is that the same as "freedom"? better kill THAT, eh, narcs? But in its 2009 World Drug Report, the UN had little but kind words for Portugal's radical (by U.S. standards) approach. "These conditions keep drugs out of the hands of those who would avoid them under a system of full prohibition, while encouraging treatment, rather than incarceration, for users. Among those who would not welcome a summons from a police officer are tourists, and, as a result, Portugal's policy has reportedly not led to an increase in drug tourism," reads the report. "It also appears that a number of drug-related problems have decreased." In its upbeat appraisal of Portugal's policy, the UN finds itself in agreement with Salon's Glenn Greenwald. Of course they decreased. You take the facist boot off our backs and things get better. what's complicated about that? The report, released at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., also puts to rest concerns that decriminalization doesn't comply with international treaties, which prevent countries from legalizing drugs. can you pot nazis just take the piss and get it over with? U.S. Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske is scheduled to appear at the announcement of the report. (He has said "decriminalization" is not "in my vocabulary.") nazi is in My vocabulary. how 'bout yours, curly? "The International Narcotics Control Board was initially apprehensive when Portugal changed its law in 2001 (see their annual report for that year), but after a mission to Portugal in 2004, it "noted that the acquisition, possession and abuse of drugs had remained prohibited," and said "the practice of exempting small quantities of drugs from criminal prosecution is consistent with the international drug control treaties," reads a footnote to the report. then why is it my so called freedom loving country has 830,000 pot related arrests, detentions, and enslavements in the last year? The UN report also dives head first into the debate over full drug legalization. Last year's World Drug Report ignored the issue entirely, save for a reference to Chinese opium policy in the 19th Century. This year's report begins with a lengthy rebuttal of arguments in favor of legalization. "Why unleash a drug epidemic in the developing world for the sake of libertarian arguments made by a pro-drug lobby that has the luxury of access to drug treatment?" argues the report. unleash a whaat? oh, you need to whip up some propaganda, is that it? But the UN also makes a significant concession to backers of legalization, who have long argued that it is prohibition policies that lead to violence and the growth of shadowy, underground networks. How 'bout you idiots tell that to the Mexicans who are killing each other to stop being so poor by using the prohibition on my pot? Your outrageous, psueudoscience has causes a hell of a lot of deaths and sorrow, you assholes "In the Preface to the report," reads the press release accompanying the report, "[UN Office of Drugs and Crime Executive Director Antonio Maria] Costa explores the debate over repealing drug controls. He acknowledges that controls have generated an illicit black market of macro-economic proportions that uses violence and corruption." What? Did one of you just grow a brain? Was that a independent question? omg!! seize that man! he must be high on drugs!! Jack Cole, executive director of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) and a retired undercover narcotics detective, objected to the report's classification of current policy as "control." hmm, humans control nothing at all whatsoever. we influence everything, we control nothing. closest we get to control is to kill something. and we fuck that up most of the time "The world's 'drug czar,' Antonio Maria Costa, would have you believe that the legalization movement is calling for the abolition of drug control," he said. "Quite the contrary, we are demanding that governments replace the failed policy of prohibition with a system that actually regulates and controls drugs, including their purity and prices, as well as who produces them and who they can be sold to. You can't have effective control under prohibition, as we should have learned from our failed experiment with alcohol in the U.S. between 1920 and 1933."

In interviews with McClatchy, more than a dozen DEA agents describe a badly managed system in which some pilots have been sent to Afghanistan under duress or as punishment for bucking their superiors. Such complaints, so far mostly arising from the DEA's Aviation Division, could complicate the Obama administration's efforts to send dozens of additional DEA agents to Afghanistan as part of a civilian and military personnel "surge" that aims to stabilize the country. Veteran DEA pilot Daniel Offield has alleged in an employment discrimination complaint he was told if he refuses to go to Afghanistan in July he'll be demoted. The Stockton, Calif., agent asked for a reprieve because he was in the process of adopting two special needs children and offered to serve his required temporary duty in other countries. Another agent, David Beavers, told McClatchy that he was ordered in July 2007 to prepare to go to Afghanistan in two weeks while he was on bereavement leave after his mother-in-law died. To avoid going,=2 0the Orlando, Fla., pilot decided to retire early. Both men have flown for the DEA in Latin American countries wracked by drug violence, but they say service in a combat zone should be treated as voluntary because they're not military personnel. "You could say that the war on drugs is dangerous," said Beavers, a DEA pilot for more than 20 years. "But it's not quite like Afghanistan, where you can get your legs blown off by an (improvised explosive device)." You could say, "Let My People Go!!" ever more correctly, piggly wiggy!

Here is something on my personal hero, the mighty and indefatigueable Carl Olsen: Medical Marijuana and Iowa Law The law in the state of Iowa is simple; if you're caught using or selling marijuana you will be punished. A Des Moines is challenging that law and trying to add Iowa to the list of states allowing medical marijuana. Elias Johnson Reporter June 1, 2009 Carl Olsen has never been shy about his feelings towards marijuana. "This is something that's a civil rights issue," Olsen said. When he met a man at the capitol in 1990, his fight to legalize the controlled substance took a big step forward. "I met a medical user there, George McMahon, who is a plaintiff in this case and he had gotten a license to use marijuana. He was smoking at the capitol and I said "aren't you afraid of getting arrested?" and he said "I have a federal license; I'm legal to smoke marijuana." I thought this guy won, here's the living proof right here in front of me," Olsen said. Six years later California voters approved the Compassionate Act which allowed the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes. Since then twelve others states have passed similar laws. This past April a Polk county judge ruled the Iowa board of Pharmacy to review if the drug is mis-classified in Iowa. "I'm willing to look at the scientific evidence," said pharmacist and IBP board member, "Both pro and con." Monday the board discussed the issue at a public hearing and echoed similar thoughts. "I think that was not addressed appropriately throughout the court," said pharmacist and IBP board member Susan Frey. "The fact that the other states have done this does not mean Iowa has to follow suit," pharmacist and IBP board member Edward Maier. "If all your friends jumped of a bridge does that mean you should jump off too?" said pharmacist and IBP board member Deeann Wedemeyer-Olesen. Despite the board's comments, Olsen is unfazed "It is always helps when you're on the right side of the issue to have them on the wrong side and have them look vigorously mean and bad. The board effectively did that today and I would like to thank them for doing that," said Olsen. He promises to continue his fight. Our boy Carl was popped for twenty tons awhile back and did a fed stint. I love this guy!!

Yep, the fear and greed level is not only measured by the VAX, but also by the incredible crushing power of murdering debate on a publically valuable subject right here in America. What's the VAX? it is a stock price that literally provides a measure of fear and greed to us stock investors. How is it that a super stoner like your humble narrator, SuckmeBush, would ever ever know about such a thing what with all that reduction of IQ and the onslaught of a-motivational syndrome that comes of smoking pot? and the VAX is very scared right now, isn't it? oh, you don't know? what drug are You on? heh heh. shows what happens when you read stoner thoughts, you get smarter! how do we keep on getting smarter? we READ. so... get your toke on and read the following: City Council Upholds Mayor's Veto After Hint of Losing Funds FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 14, 2009 El Paso, TX -- On Tuesday the El Paso City Council voted, 4-4, to sustain the mayor's veto of a resolution calling for a national debate on drug legalization as a solution to the cartel violence problem plaguing sister city Cuidad Juarez, just across the Mexico border. Three of the four council members voting to uphold the mayor's silencing of the discussion said on the record during council deliberations that they did so only because Congressman Silvestre Reyes (D-TX) and the city's state legislative delegation sent letters raising the possibility that El Paso would lose federal and state money should it continue insisting that legalization is a debatable solution to illegal drug trade violence. Councilman Beto O'Rourke, who championed the legalization debate resolution, said it is "a sad day in America when you're threatened if you want to have an open and honest debate about an issue that affects your community." Rep. Reyes, who sent his deputy chief of staff to testify at Tuesday's council meeting, also canceled a scheduled breakfast with O'Rourke on Monday, instead meeting with Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who successfully requested $1.4 billion in U.S. anti-drug aid in 2008, and who also met with President-elect Barack Obama on Monday. "This level intervention in quashing a spirited debate about a serious policy conundrum is chilling," said Terry Nelson, a 30-year veteran federal anti-drug agent and a member of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, a 10,000-member organization representing police, prosecutors, judges and others who fought on the front lines of the "war on drugs" and now support legalization and regulation. "With so many killings and kidnappings by the illegal drug cartels, we just can't afford to keep avoiding an important discussion about the failures of our decades-long 'war on drugs.' We're looking forward to seeing U.S. Sen. Jim Webb's recently announced blue ribbon commission on high incarceration rates taking a good, hard look at why so many nonviolent drug offenders fill our prisons." Rep. Reyes and state legislators haven't yet detailed the specifics of any funding threats against El Paso they've been warned about or from where they came. The states legislators' and congressman's letter are online at http://www.elpasotexas.gov/muni_clerk/agenda/01-13-09/011309ADD2B1.pdf and http://www.elpasotexas.gov/muni_clerk/agenda/01-13-09/011309ADD2B2.pdf respectively. Six votes were needed to override the mayor's veto of the resolution calling for the national debate to continue.
