  Again, where does it say anywhere that those items were his?
  
  He was NOT CHARGED WITH ANYTHING. Nothing, nada, zilch.

  Actually I'm pretty sure it's against the constitution to do that to a citizen of the US no matter what crime he allegedly committed. Even if he had murdered someone in front of the DEA and this was our way of punishing that the DEA would still be wrong because they are not the punishment end of the justice system. It is not their job or right to dole out punishments. Especially so in this case when it was entirely unwarranted and illegal (yes you dolts, even if he did something far worse than smoke pot).
  
  Isn't there a 48 hour limit to be held without charges or something? Unless they try to pull some Patriot Act bullshit or something.

  No. But that doesn't mean i feel bad for someone who was dumb enough to be in a drug house on 420 and happened to get scooped up.
  
  Where was his lawyer?

  Nope. Once you are accused of something you lose all basic rights.

  Probably hard to contact a lawyer when you're locked in a cell where no one can see you or hear you, apparently.

  You should be furious that agents of our government are trampling on the constitution to the detriment of a citizen that was never charged or tried with a crime. It is an outrage.

  You know what we do in that case? Charge the person with a crime and try them in court.

  I believe you are correct, and with the DEA, your second statement about the Patriot Act wouldn't surprise me...that being said, I think they just fucked up and forgot about this kid!

  You are the one who is saying there is nothing wrong with the DEA leaving him to sit in a cell for 4 days without food or water.
  
  And I am supposed to gtfo? OK.
• DeyDurkie5

  

  We aren't saying the guy was right for doing drugs. He got caught, and he faces the trial awaiting him.
  
  We are saying that the DEA essentially forgetting he was in there, and leaving him to die for 4 days is just not right and completely their fault.
  
  You guys are idiots for thinking we are defending it. It's not defending, it's pointing out the obvious that the DEA FORGOT he was in there and almost killed him.

  Right, which is absolutely indefensible.

  Nope he was in a drug raid. He deserved it.

  So we take an isolated case and apply it to all? I know you are being facetious, but I think you are exaggerating a wee bit.

  Absolutely. I don't feel bad the kid was picked up for pot. But to think this was justifiable because he broke the law is absurd.

  I'm saying, don't smoke pot in a home with 18k ecstasy pill, other drugs, and guns. Are you retarded enough to do that? Shit happens, hell end up with a fat check cause of it.

  This is accurate. It is a simple case of a miscommunication.

  Yeah, I am exaggerating because people actually think this is no big deal because, hey, he broke the law.
• WebFire

  I think this was mentioned earlier, but unless they leave me on a deserted island, I think I would be making some noise and asking WTF. How did he go 4 days without asking someone why he was still there?
  
  Seems to be something not right about this story.

  He deserved to be incarcerated, but was not given due process--that IS still in our constitution, isn't it?

  Lol, I'm not even sure who is being sarcastic or who is arguing for what anymore.
