Some Old Judge Calls Stoners Stupid
Stuff reports that Timothy Andrew Murphy appeared in the New Plymouth District Court yesterday, after he was busted selling raffle tickets (at $10 each) for "an ounce of sticky marijuana heads" at his work on April 7. In sentencing said moron to 140 hours community service, Judge Louis Bidois took the opportunity to philosphize a little: "It just proves the stupidity of those who take drugs."
Oh you tiresome woman, it "proves" nothing of the sort. At most, this case shows that Timothy Andrew Murphy - while an entrepreneurial spirit - didn't forsee one or more of his colleagues calling the Police. At best he put too much faith in his colleagues, at worst he is indeed a moron.
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders prepare for a Friday evening spliff (and millions more prepare for a drink or seven), none of them planning on openly auctioning off illegal substances in their workplaces.
And when the carnage from tonight's drinking is over, I eagerly await the learned judge's ponitification on "the stupidity of those who touch alcohol."
In other news, I always knew the Karangahake Gorge was a fucking deathtrap:
