[marmar]

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Soldiers accused of breaking into a Colorado medical marijuana dispensary and then accidentally locking themselves inside told police they planned to destroy the marijuana – not smoke or sell it.

The Gazette in Colorado Springs reports a police affidavit says two of the three Fort Carson soldiers told officers they were trying to steal the marijuana so they could get rid of it.

Police say the three were arrested Saturday on second-degree burglary charges after they accidentally locked themselves in the Colorado Springs dispensary during a burglary attempt.

Officers say they were on an unrelated call at a nearby business around 2 a.m. when they heard someone banging on glass inside the dispensary. ..........(more)

1. Yeah right...

Indeed, if they are telling the truth, it's even more obscene than if they were trying to steal it for themselves to smoke or sell!

2. Too stoned to burglarize their way out

or something.

5. Sentence these two soldiers to 100 years hard labor 24/7.

Colorado's Amendment 20 says it's legal, and if you got a problem with that, do it the correct way - repeal it.

Idiots.

6. A DU'er saying obey the majority vote on an issue. Seriously? nt

9. Colorado Springs had the opportunity to ban the dispensary from their city limits

They didn't or failed to do so.

So the soldiers broke Colorado law and military law, and deserve the maximum punishment.

Send 'em to Florence. It's nearby.
