"Schizophrenic cannabis user 'felt good about' stabbing police officer to death in busy street"....
Tennyson Obih, 29, stabbed PC Jon Henry twice in a busy town centre with a 4.5in blade as the officer confronted him.
The Nigerian, who had been sectioned under the Mental Health Act twice previously, had already stabbed a window cleaner in the back before police arrived.
After killing PC Henry he attacked another window cleaner during the melee, slashing him across the arm with a knife.
His terrifying rampage through Luton town centre on June 11, 2007, was finally brought to an end when an armed response unit used a plastic bullet and two tasers to disarm him.
PC Henry, 36, was rushed to hospital, but medics could do nothing to stem the flow of blood. He died in hospital that morning.
Later Obih told detectives during questioning that 'he was happy' PC Henry was dead, it was said.

Oh great! Why the fuck did they include "cannabis user" in the title??
The guy had mental issues that really have little or nothing to do with the fact that he smokes cannabis, yet here they are making a point of it.
In reality, MILLION and MILLIONS of people smoke cannabis every fucking day and this one crazy guy is going to be used to scare the prohibitionists into further support of the ban on cannabis.
Seriously, this is fucked up reporting and it pisses me off.... the guy is crazy with our without the pot!

The Daily Mail apparently has a policy of demonizing cannabis, it keeps publishing such articles in an effort to link cannabis use to violent, criminal behaviour and to schizophrenia.
-
They should have mentioned alcohol in the headline, since it was mentioned in the article. But neither alcohol or cannabis are related to his illness, or the attack.
-
Why was this even added? This is just more propaganda if you ask me. Just an insane guy with a knife going nuts. I doubt cannabis use actually had anything to do with it.

Cannabis supporter shitstorm in 3, 2, 1...

There is fucking idiots in this country..Land of free thinkers .Information flows in avalanches of abundance. Speculation, assumption....yes, we all do...But get your fucking facts straight people. The conservative right , are a small segment of the population, that are very educated, dedicated, politically driven fueled by power and greed.They spread propaganda through media (fox news) example, they amazingly deceive weak minds into thinking they are one of them.

Cannabis has nothing to do with the story or the attack. This is either poor journalism or propaganda; I believe it's the latter.

Notice the media's coverage of marijuana in the upcoming months. Those responsible for the wars, poverty, and social injustice across the globe are very well aware that marijuana does far more good for those striving to break free of the system that has been established to maintain control over the global population.
The more marijuana gains positive ground in the minds of global citizens, the more they will use whatever tools they have to try and maintain control, a main tool being the media.

Reefer Maddness.....AGAIN!!
Its hard to believe that the ppl that put this story on the air thought marijuana usage was a significant detail of the story, even though at no point did they even say the guy was high when he commited the act.. What next? "Mass Murderer Avid Video Game Player"
This story is a great example of the demonization of marijuana by the media and the general ignorance of non marijuana smokers about cannabis.
