Your Sheriff On Drugs

Earlier this week, Randy Axelson, sheriff of Rooks County, Kansas, got arrested because the Kansas Bureau of Investigations suspected his involvement in distribution of methamphetamine. As Axelson is not the first police officer or the first authority figure to get arrested for drugs, this would not have caught my attention, except for the fact that there are actually human beings, in Kansas, putting comments on the internet about how unfair it is that poor Randy got arrested! Unfair?? Are these people aware of the differences between a pot plant in a flowerpot, and a meth lab?

I was quite surprised to learn that people like Bishop Robert Finn, of Kansas city, Missouri, could allow and protect kiddie porn perps, and possibly participate in kiddie porn stuff, and still have a pretty generous following of supporters and people who think he should not be charged with a crime, when the very same people would want anyone else doing the same perverted things to be charged with a crime. Authority figures are not above the law. I suppose I should not have been surprised at the supporters of the sheriff. Maybe they were his customers, before he went to jail, and got released with some new ankle jewelry.
