Many are going to say we can't support vigilantiism. Well if you all read the paper this AM than you know of the man in Watertown who took the bat to the head shop that sold bath salts to his son. His son ended up in the hospital. The guy went over the edge, according to the story, when he asked if the shop sold bath salts and the proprietor began telling him how to take the salts. After chasing the proprietor around the store with a baseball bat (he did not intend to hit him) he demolished the store. Prior to his assault on the store he had asked some ladies outside of a laundromat to go inside and stay out of the way. After the assault he called 911 and reported himself. He was charged with 2 felony charges: criminal mischief and possession of a weapon. The guy makes $2400/month and is worried about paying a lawyer.
Now I cannot normally support vigilantiism ... but in this case: YOU GO BOY!!! You just know there will be lawyers out there drooling for the coverage and will take the case pro bono.
As a side note according to the story the Feds raided the place the day after (along with several other shops) and had obtained a warrant last week!!! Perhaps if the Feds had acted more quickly this gentleman would not be in jail and his son wouldn't be in the hospital.
