Georgia police arrest 70 partygoers after no one owns up to bringing less than an ounce of weed

Early on the morning of December 31, 2017, police in the Atlanta suburb of Cartersville arrested 70 people at a house party because no one would claim ownership of a stash of marijuana that totaled less than an ounce.

As The Cartersville Daily Tribune reported, Cartersville police responded to a “shots fired” call around 2:18 AM on New Year’s Eve at a “Christmas Lingerie Party,” and soon found the marijuana.

Jail records acquired by the Daily Tribune showed that 63 of the 70 arrestees had all been processed with a single count of marijuana possession under one ounce.

The report also noted that most of the people arrested are men aged 19-25, many of whom had been “star athletes” at the local high school.

After the arrests, parents of the some of the people arrested at the party told Fox 5 Atlanta that they were frustrated by the lack of information surrounding the mass arrests.


“We just want our babies,” one of the parents, Monesha Fezzia, told Fox 5 on December 31. “They aren’t telling us anything.”

On Tuesday, Tyisha Fernandes, a reporter for Atlanta’s WSB-TV, tweeted that some of the arrestees are just now being released over 48 hours after their New Year’s Eve arrests.

Tickle Ivories?

So there wasn't one single man with any balls at all?

And you blame the State of Georgia for that?

That ain't Georgia's fault, pal. That's a bunch of pussies with NO balls and NO honor. Rather than man up and take a misdemeanor, they all pussied out hoping to get away with it.

People that break the law like I do have two ways to do it: the honorable way or the criminal way.

I do it the honorable way. I've never had a problem.

They did it the criminal way as usual. That's why they have the problem.

Sorry, BS. Less than an ounce of weed? Really? Atlanta just decriminalized so what was the "crime" exactly?


what the police should have done was confiscate the drugs and give the homeowner a citation. NOTHING more.

You don't arrest 70 people over what is at best a misdemeanor charge, and is likely less than that, because nobody will talk to you. That's just stupid, even by GA standards.

It's a crime. SOMEBODY has to be cited for it.

It's a simple misdemeanor. Typically a citation and that's it if somebody owns up to it. It's treated most times like a parking ticket.

But sadly, they were all a bunch of spoiled brat pussies that thought if nobody owned up to it that they'd all get away with it.

They thought wrong.

That's on them, NOT the police.

My cousin was cruising through Georgia once decades ago. Got pulled over by a cop for speeding

Cop writes him up, hands him the ticket.

My cousin asks where does he pay it and the cop says, "right cheer".

So he gave the cop the money and drove away. Great way to make money. Probably threw the paper work away a minute later.

That's incorrect. Back then, that's how it was done. It's still done that way in South Carolina to this day. In fact, SC just had a huge crackdown on officers keeping the money and cooking the books.

They all went to jail.

That doesn't make it 'incorrect'.

Obviously, many were keeping a lot of the money.

For decades. And most of them didn't go to jail.

 

[tangerinegreen555]

Do I smell bacon?

Where I come from, nobody rats people out and everybody keeps their mouths shut.

If that's why it's illegal, I guess it will stay illegal.

 

[vertnugs]

Wrong. As usual.

Had someone owned up to it like a man, NOBODY would have been arrested.

I'm condoning MANHOOD and the FUCKING LAW.

Idiot.

It's people like you that think the law is shit simply because you don't like it that put the marijuana movement backwards 100 fucking years.

You take no responsibility, want no accountability, and expect everybody to kiss your ass because you're a worthless, crybaby, coward, pussy, spoiled brat moron.

YOU are the problem.

Law enforcement points to people LIKE YOU and say, "See? They are why it must be illegal. They have no regard for ANYTHING."

Who the fuck are you??

My dad??

You apparently know a shit load about me....like you are some one that has lived with me for the past 40 odd years.You seem like a bitter old fuck bro.


Ok...i'm wrong...as usual.....do we hang out or some shit....what the fuck does that even pertain to??

How do you know noone woulda been arrested?Are you the officer in charge?

Manhood and the law......has nothing to do with it.How are you on a weed site but feel some one shoulda spoke up....took their ticket/jail.....over a bag of weed??You act like when they got there people were shot.It's weed bro......NO ONE SHOULD PAY FINES..DO JAIL TIME...NUTTIN....NADDA...for some fuckin weed.

People like me?See...there ya go...actin like you know any thing about me.Idiot.Set the movement back 100 years...lol

Are you drunk???

 

[TacoMac]

Keep making excuses, kid. It's what you're best at.

Keep making excuses, kid. It's what you're best at.

70 people arrested, and only one was guilty. So you think someone who was NOT guilty should have taken ownership? Seems fucked up.

 

[tyler.durden]

 

[TacoMac]

70 people arrested, and only one was guilty.

Wrong. Again. As usual.

See? Criminals with no sense of justice all think the same way.

They all knew whose weed it was. They all got high and mighty, figured they'd stonewall the cops because, you know, fuck the cops, and they'd get away with it.

They literally left the police with NO CHOICE in the matter. The law, for better or worse, IS THE FUCKING LAW.

But they're too arrogant, too stupid, and too spoiled to know any better.

Just like you people are. You think NOBODY ever has to answer for ANYTHING.

You are wrong. SOMEBODY does. And when an entire group of people who were:

1. Stupid enough to have a block party so fucking loud the police were called.
2. Have dope at that party that was so fucking loud the police were called.
3. Knew who brought the dope to the party that was so fucking loud the police were called.

Suddenly act like they're all innocent, pure as the driven snow kiddies that never did anything wrong go to jail over it you all come out in DEFENSE of that stupid bullshit.

Again, you're part of the problem. When you defend stupidity, arrogance, irresponsibility, lunacy, and everything else of that ilk, you make yourself part of the problem, not part of the solution.

And THAT is why it is so very hard to get any pro-marijuana legislation passed: what politician can go to his constituency and say, "Yeah...I'd like to advocate for completely irresponsible morons!" ?

What makes it all even worse is that people like you can't see it. That is why it will never, ever be legal in this state in your lifetime.

Haha - so you are a nark. Figures.

It's "narc", dumbass. It's short for narcotics.

And no, I'm not.

You on the other hand, are a complete dumbass.
