WON'T PARENTS CARE IF SON BUYS DRUG PARAPHERNALIA?

Re: Store owners angry after police seize drug pipes, June 5.

Lotus owners Adam Chaplin and Alisha Wolfe are being unfairly targeted
after thousands of dollars in merchandise was seized from their store?
They are being victimized by police for selling illicit drug
paraphernalia?

The photograph on the front of The Era-Banner is of this couple and
their seven-month-old son, Sage.

Am I the only one who sees something wrong with this
picture?

This couple has brought an innocent child into the world and is
selling drug paraphernalia?

So, when Sage grows up and wants to buy a bong from a local store,
they won't have a problem with that?

They need to give their heads a shake. The only one I feel sorry for
is Sage. I commend the work being done by police to do what is best
for the whole community.

Mr.Chaplin and Ms Wolfe have started a petition in response to the
police crackdown.

We need a petition started to help police in this endeavour.

Think about the world in which you want Sage to grow
up.

Shame on you both.
