I don't usually read crap from msn news, but cannabis and bashing to death caught my eye.. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/975884/te...eacher-to-death In the msn article it says " The court heard the girls' "main objective" for breaking into Mr Rowe's home was to find cannabis or to find things to steal so they could buy the drug, stuff.co.nz reports. " Went and looked on the website stuff.co.nz and it mentions nothing about cannabis in their article??? " They said they only wanted to knock the man out, so they could rob him.

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/natio...f-1225795565468 Wonder if Alan researched how many suicides there were before the Alcohol ban discussed in his story, be interesting to see. I feel sorry for the poor buggers in these communities. They're pawns for the media/government anti-cannabis agenda now.
