Arthritic Grandmother Beaten, Robbed!

This is very sad!

WINNABOW, N.C. At 53, Tinkey Mae Sullivan is a regular on the mean streets of Wilmington, where she ventures to buy marijuana. 
``They wave at me when I go in there,'' she said Thursday, sitting in her double-wide mobile home in rural Brunswick County. ``They all call me Grandma.'' Usually Mrs. Sullivan goes alone to buy a quarter-ounce to an ounce of pot, which she says eases her rheumatoid arthritis and her other ailments.But a week ago, she decided to make a pot run with her 13-year-old grandson in the car. Both were robbed and attacked, and now police are considering filing charges against her from bringing the child along. This is a sad state of affairs that sick people must go into the streets to buy what they need for their health's sake!

Typical of our gov't these days! Yes so true!
Rainbow, Sometimes it seems like an impossible dream and then some days it seems like they are waking up. Every time we get close some event puts our issue in the background. I'm sorry about the war and I could fill your ears with words that can't be printed but darn what about the injustice here? When big events take place it neuralizes our cause and that is wrong so we keep on keepin' on! Happy Easter to you too!Peace, FoM!

Very very sad BUT typical of our gov't these days
This is but one example of the sadnes that the War on the people is causing. The authorities even have the audicity and insensitivity to make her the victum, much as the police community does with other problems faced by the female sex. What is wrong with these people? What is wrong with this picture. Makes me want to move to Canada to get away from this.Just a note I sent this article to dearest barry (maccfrey) via his website. I have been asking those that read the feedback mail to defect and find "good" jobs. I ask them why they want to be a part of this misguided crazy behavior.I imagine that they are not leaving, but I want them to think about it and know what is going on out there.Nothing wrong with asking folks to follow their values and morals and do a little introspection.CheersTomHug your children everyday, for life is frail.
