Random Nuclear Strikes

Then get SWAT’ed.

An update to yesterday’s story.

The guy who survived a early AM Monday home invasion robbery at his home, which also happens to be a state-licensed medical marijuana growing facility, was at the hospital being treated for minor gunshot wounds when the King County Sheriff’s Dept. decided they needed to ransack his house RIGHT NOW!.

A medical marijuana activist, Steve Sarich, plans to sue King County for the way he and his property were treated during a search of his home Monday.

King County Sheriff’s deputies scoured the Kirkland man’s home with a search warrant just hours after Sarich exchanged gunfire with home invasion suspects.

“First I got violated by the home invaders and then I got violated by the King County Sheriff’s Department,” Sarich told KIRO Radio’s Dave Ross Tuesday. “Now we’re going to sue them. We will sue King County.”

Sarich said there were SWAT team members breaking down doors and ransacking his home while he was being treated for a gunshot wound at the hospital.

“Somebody wanted me raided and this was their excuse to do it.”

He said he stayed in a hotel Monday night with his girlfriend and three dogs, and returned home to a huge mess.

“We just got back in the house…and it’s a total wreck. They cut holes in the walls. I don’t know what they thought they were going to find in our walls. Clothes everywhere, papers everywhere. They stole every computer in my home. They stole, gosh, all kinds of stuff that had nothing to do with marijuana.”

Sarich runs CannaCare, an organization that provides marijuana plants to patients. He said Tuesday morning that he does not flower marijuana plants at his house, but runs his grow operation like a nursery. He says many of the plants there were new cuttings and likely had not yet developed roots.

A spokesman for the King County Sheriff’s Office said deputies found 385 marijuana plants at the home.

He was one of a handful of state-licensed grow operations. The week before, another licensed grower was killed during a home invasion robbery. Mr. Sarich took it upon himself to cover his own ass, and take a murderer off the streets by filling him with high speed projectiles, and this is the thanks the Sheriff’s Dept. decided he deserved.

Stay classy, Sheriff Rahr!

Personally, I’d cross the Pacific before mouthing off against the Chi-Com government. They might try to classify these beliefs as a religion.

Zong Qinghou, China’s richest man, says a property tax will hurt homeowners. Wang Jianlin, the 16th wealthiest, agrees. Lu Guanqiu, No. 19, says China isn’t ready for such a levy.

Their financial clout, a combined $12.4 billion according to Forbes magazine’s latest ranking, packs a political punch. They are members of the Communist Party and delegates to China’s parliament or its political advisory committee. Their concerns about the tax, which the government might adopt in the five-year plan beginning 2011, are shared by many Chinese investors and homeowners.

“A property tax isn’t appropriate,” Zong, 64, chairman of beverage company Hangzhou Wahaha Group Co., said in an interview. “Now everyone already pays monthly management fees, so it would just add another burden.”

Call it a nascent Chinese Tea-Party movement, after the self-described U.S. activists who protest the spending and taxation policies of President Barack Obama and Democrats who control Congress. The groups take their name from a 1773 Boston protest by supporters of independence from Great Britain.

At least the ChiComs are honest about wanting to make the US a third world nation. No matter how many times the right tells Americans that that is Obama’s end-game, they don’t seem to understand.
