    totally outrageous "big drug bust" LOL what a load of BS, it was not opium it was dried poppy heads ,which are perfectly LEGAL(no pun intended)anyone can buy them here, there not OPIUM, there used in dried floral arrangements, and anyone can buy them here legally, there legal to buy, legal to sell and legal to possess
    they contain very little trace amount of actual opium and it is not possible to process them into heroin, it would take hundreds of pounds of fresh poppies and raw opium and a major lab and lots of controlled chemical precursors such as acetic anhydryde to make heroin if if the the dried poppies could be used, which they cant, not practically anyway as it would take literally tons if them, the only way you can be charged with any sort of crime or manufacturing i if your caught actually grinding them up and ingesting them otherwise there perfectly legal to own ,purchase and sell anyone can buy them from florida on ebay, and this man lawyed is not too smart making a statement like that ,in which he admits they were for consumption, that is the worst think he could have said, he should have just said there not illegal and there fora floral decoration, admitting to grinding to make tea ,is tantamount to admitting guilt and to manufacture, he need to fire the lawyer,and what sum bags the police are for even arresting ths man, total bottom feeding low life parasites, i guess it has nothing to do with the fact his dad is rich,i hope these police and the system get sued by roger for wrongfull prosecution and harrasment, BPD you are POS scum bags, shame on you all

FOX NEWS HOST REFUSES TO BOARD PLANE WITH BLACK FEMALE PILOT

By Anonymous -
conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter has lost her mind! She refused to stay on board a Miami to New York flight after learning the pilot was a Black woman. According to witnesses, Coulter was concerned the experienced, decorated pilot may have gained her position as a result of affirmative action and wasn’t fully qualified to fly. The incident began when Coulter boarded the American Airlines flight and took up her first class seat. After a trip to the bathroom, she noticed the pilot was a black woman and became immediately distraught. According to passengers, at that point Coulter stood at the front of the cabin and began screaming her concerns to the entire flight as they finished boarding. “Aw come on people, a black woman flying a plane? You know she got that job through affirmative action. Am I the only one worried about this? I mean hello? Our lives are at stake here…” The confused passengers weren’t sure what to make of Coulter’s outburst, and rema

After pouring thousands of dollars into her decrepit house, Tocco Collins made the heartbreaking discovery that she had been seriously scammed. The mother of 12 had waited patiently for her landlords to deliver on their promises to fix the house’s holes, broken windows and burned out light box, CBS Atlanta reports. But after seven months, Collins learned that the phonies she had been paying $600 a month in rent didn’t own the home and had also skipped town. The actual owner had no idea her home was being rented out. “Step by step, I’m trying to make some effort,” Collins told the news outlet. “Right now I’m lost.” The Atlanta mother and her children are now homeless. They’re also at risk of getting broken up by child services, a devastating fate that do-gooders are trying to prevent. Members of Occupy Atlanta are raising money for the family to buy a new home, and volunteers said they would help renovate the new residence after it’s secured. Getting duped by a

Larry Smith, producer of some of the most cherished hip-hop records of the Eighties, including Run-D.M.C. 's first two albums, died Thursday at the age of 63. Radio host Combat Jack broke the news on Twitter , writing: "Just spoke to his family. RIP Larry Smith, the original King of Beats who passed away last night." A Queens native, Smith began his career as a session musician and quickly struck up a partnership with Kurtis Blow after playing bass on "Christmas Rappin'."  Smith would continue to play on a number of Blow's tracks, co-writing a few as well, including the MC's breakthrough record, "The Breaks,"  which became the first rap record to be certified gold. Smith then began working with Blow's manager at the time, Russell Simmons. The two co-produced a handful of tracks for Jimmy Spicer – including the oft-sampled "Money (Dollar Bill Y'All)"  – before helping make hip-hop history with Run-D.M.C.'s
