A longtime drug policy reform advocate in Ann Arbor is worried people smoking marijuana in city parks at night could be shot during an upcoming deer cull.”People smoke weed in Ann Arbor,” said Charmie Gholson, founder of Michigan Moms United to End the War on Drugs and sometimes organizer of the annual Hash Bash marijuana rally in Ann Arbor.”People smoke weed in the parks at night all year round, and if I’ve got to be the person to say that, then Ann Arbor has lost its soul…
…”Please don’t shoot anyone’s kid,” she said.Gholson wrote on her personal Facebook page in late September that she wanted to organize a protest bringing together open-carry gun advocates and people against the deer cull so council members could “see what hunting looks like in the city.”Gholson said on Tuesday she had been seriously considering an open-carry protest in front of council members’ homes, but the people who want to protect the deer were hesitant about working with open-carry gun advocates.
No, it is not The Onion. Apparently Ann Arbor is the San Francisco of the Midwest or something like it. This is what you get when you mix Stoners with environmentalists and the plain stupid.
Hat Tip to Steven T.
That’s actually a fair description of Ann Arbor. That’s why I’ve never got along with people from University of Michigan. They’re some of the most pretentious people I’ve ever known…and I’ve spent decent amounts of time on BOTH coasts…so that’s saying something. I’ve have much better luck with Michigan State grads (like my wife). They’re a little more down to earth.

“This is what you get when you mix Stoners with environmentalists and the plain stupid.” In other words, liberals.
That just might be the most incoherent article I’ve read. I still have no idea why she would think there’s danger there, other than “guns are bad, mkay?”
I think reading that sucked out 10 IQ points. Could you imagine standing near her? You’d be reduced to politician IQ levels in minutes.
Does this mean that hunters in Ann Arbor can hunt deer AT NIGHT in PARKS?
No opportunity like that exists in Illinois.
Why are the open carriers against the deer cull?
