Colorado Outlaws Guns But Legalizes Pot for the Lulz

In a state that just passed restrictive gun laws but extremely liberalized marijuana use, you can’t help but laugh at hippies getting gunned down at the first ever 4-20 “holiday.”

From Rare here:

Authorities are hunting for suspects after shooting broke out during a massive marijuana celebration in Denver, leaving two people with gunshot wounds.

The gunfire scattered thousands attending Saturday’s 4/20 counterculture holiday, the first since Colorado legalized marijuana.

Witnesses described a scene in which a jovial atmosphere quickly turned to one of panic at the downtown Civic Center Park just before 5 p.m. Several thought firecrackers were being set off, then a man fell bleeding, his dog also shot.

The annual pot celebration this year was expected to draw as many as 80,000 people.

Police said: “Our message to the public is that, if you see something, say something.”

Stephanie Riedel, who traveled to the pot celebration from Pittsburgh, said she was dancing with a hula hoop when she heard pops.

“I couldn’t make sense of what it was at first,” she said. “We were all having a good time and I was in the mindframe of, we’re here at a peace gathering. I thought it some guys playing.”

I think its absolutely lulzy that a bunch of dope smoking hippies got gunned at during a pot-fest after their liberal state legalized pot use and damn-near outlawed guns. And of course the writers quoted a dreddie-haired hippie with a hula hoop to proclaim that the pot fest was about peace! And what about the “See something say something” proclamation by cops? I’m certain all of their tips were about “double rainbows brah!” or about rogue unicorns. Asking a stoned crowd to be on the lookout for criminals is the epitome of failure.
