Getting Chased by the Cops

Thoughts on the Pothead Terrorist
The last flecks of THC-crystal pixie dust flaked off the myth of the innocuous brown stoner last week when news outlets reported that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the alleged Boston Marathon bombers, turned out to be a Muslim who, like any normal American kid, was known to rip bong Full story
