More infestation of East Coast welfare liberals. Classic behavior from the something for nothing crowd, and of course we should provide these creeps with free health care, in jail.

What address did they use to collect AFDC? Seems an address in the million dollar neighborhood would be a red flag. Who was asleep at the wheel?

Please leave these people alone. This is nothing compared to what else is going on in the world. This is an intrusive governmental interference and I honestly think if Obama knew of these illegal raids on homes and parcels, he would put his foot down. This type of obvious gestapo tactics has to end someday. I am sending a copy of this article to the Honorable US Attorney General to see what he can do about these illegal, random and disruptive raids.

Where are those growers who were arguing with me the other day in the trickle down thread about how much the MJ growers contribute to our tax base vs. how much they take in social services? This is a typical situation, only on a much larger scale, but it's typical more often than not pot growers get the ol'lady on welfare to make it through the winter after they've spent all their pot money...while all of us pay our taxes the growers collect them in the form of a welfare check.

These people aren't too smart..

But i'm getting sick of the word "greedy"..
we are a nation of capitalists...We are trained to be that way.. make as much as you can, pay as little tax's as possible, screw the poor...

They are idiots, but good Americans. Sad.

You actually think they check? If you do, you need a shovel to un-bury your head from the sand.

Yet another example of kind of folks drawn to Mendocino County. I do however question why law enforcement did not take this a step further in there investagation before collecting the money. Could it be the eighty thousand dollars? Are law enforcement policeys influenced by the amount of money rather than shutting down organized crime? Granted these people needed face justice but appears that it might of been better judgement to hold back and busted all thoses involved. I guess 80,000 bucks for a days work is better than a long term investagation?

Is that eighty thousand dollars going to be used to pay for the court costs accured by the citizens of this county? Is this going to the Sheriffs and Da departments funds?

I know plenty of growers who grow for medicinal use only. Not all growers are growers for profit. I also know plenty of people who work 9 to 5 jobs and they grow as well to supplement their income. Not every grower lives on welfare.

No, Say it isn't true! Welfare Recepients, making huge amounts of money? Who'da thunk it?

They should go to prison on two counts:
one for trafficking drugs
two for welfare fraud

They should also be banned from any future government assistance...forever!!!

Lets just cut welfare for life, no medical they can go home and cry to Mommy and Daddy.

Too bad FED EX has no respect for its customers privacy. FEDEX has destroyed its reputation in Mendocino County for its harassment and theft from our local growers and citizens!
BOYCOTT FEDEX!
