Maybe they should look to their own house.

From WRAL in Raleigh, NC: Durham, N.C. — A former Durham County deputy surrendered Wednesday and was released on bond, one day after being indicted on charges that he stole money used in undercover drug operations.

A grand jury indicted Derek O'Mary, who was a lieutenant with the Durham County Sheriff's Office, on 25 charges of embezzlement involving "buy funds" used by the department's vice officers. He also was indicted on another embezzlement charge, obstruction of justice and cocaine possession involving the alleged theft of drug evidence from the department.

"Nearly 30 percent of state residents received at least one prescription for a controlled substance, anything from Ambien to OxyContin, in the first six months of this year, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services."
That's going to be quite a list.
Welcome to the party, sideline-sitters.

Have to get the drug people and the gun people working together. Maybe the state will help us.

The prescription for this illness doesn't come in milligrams, it comes in millimeters.

Texas high school student accused of marijuana use, suspended, over red and watery eyes. His father had been murdered two days before, and he had been crying.
Bastards.
School refuses to apologize or rescind the rest of the suspension.
