Wait, how, exactly, does a local police department have someone's Facebook page taken down? Is there any source anyone can find that verifies that's what happened?<p>Radley Balko did some reporting on this story, after Ben Swann broke it, and neither of those two reporters said anything about Facebook.<p>Other reporting I've found actually <i>points</i> to Facebook advocacy pages for for Banda, who currently does have Facebook pages.
> The Garden City Police Department had cannabis oil activist Shona Banda’s Facebook account shutdown because she was using her social media network to raise money for her legal defense<p>On what grounds is it illegal to raise funds ?
Nevermind the Facebook page, they took her son into custody and questioned him without parental consent or legal representation? I truly hope this ends badly for the 'authorities' responsible, as it sounds to me like kidnapping.
I wish it were 100% legal like beer already. So many people use it, and it harms just as much as alcohol. Stop putting normal people in prison with murderers and rapists.<p>I've never done drugs before in my life but I know a ton of professional that do. These are lawyers, doctors, accountants and the occasional taxidermist. Do these people belong in jail? Fuck that.
> On March 24, cannabis oil activist Shona Banda‘s life was flipped upside-down<p>And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air
Lets hug of death her GoFundMe. They are attempting to destroy her ability to attain funding for a defense. Thats what the motive here is.<p><a href="http://www.gofundme.com/rw8p88r" rel="nofollow">http://www.gofundme.com/rw8p88r</a>
