[riverrat373]

Did anyone read the news report? Might not be what you think!

From the link above:

Troyer says handguns and shotguns were used and there are 50 to 100 rounds of spent ammunition at the scene.

Those marijuana guys are such a peaceful bunch.

There is no heroes in this gun battle. One side were drug dealers/marijuana growers, the other side were drug thieves. Please, both of these guys deserved to kill the other.

 

[The B]

i haven't seen anywhere that the home owner's been charged, or that the police are excited about a "big bust," as one would expect. could be he was maintaining a perfectly legal grow operation.

and if so- more mother bubbleguming power to him. good job, tiger.

You think dealers and growers deserve to die?

Not pot but all other dealers could die slow deaths.That would be fine.

Some people must be in fantastic shape with all the exercise they get from jumping to conclusions.

This happened on Thursday with no follow up story of the homeowner being charged yet.
The article stated that that the suspects came from several communities across King County including Burien, White Center and Maple Valley.
Whatever went down they were ready for it and held off 6 guys.

There are a few legal growers getting robbed these days.
Risky business in my opinion. No one can know about it but people always blab.

I had a neighbor that grew for people as a provider.
He didn't smoke it and he didn't sell it to the general public, just to the few people that he was a provider for.
He didn't make any money at it he just liked to do it.

I found out after a couple years when I went over and he was tilling a bunch of scrap into the food garden.
What he considered scrap would give most potheads a heart attack.

I'm kinda curious how this plays out.

According to a spokesperson the Pierce County sheriffs office, "They ( The homeowner) brought it upon themselves" and they are turning the whole thing over to the prosecutors office. From: The Seattle Times newspaper.
