Jordan Birnbaum · 2:35 AM

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:35 AM

During the government shutdown I read about a false marijuana rally

N.A. Poe · 2:36 AM

ya.......

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:36 AM

it was advertised as real, but it wasn't -it was designed to draw out federal agents during the shutdown.

N.A. Poe · 2:36 AM

well the feds follow the panic hour facebook page

N.A. Poe · 2:36 AM

so...............

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:36 AM

and I thought it was hilarious

N.A. Poe · 2:36 AM

to fuck with them, on the day they shut it down, we did a "false flag" smokedown

N.A. Poe · 2:37 AM

drewe them all out and showed up and took pics of the rangers

N.A. Poe · 2:37 AM

twiddling their thumbs like yogi bear or whoever the fuck

N.A. Poe · 2:37 AM

jokes come in all shapes and sizes

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:37 AM

Because with the government shut down, and all these services being cancelled, they were somehow able to marshall the resources to stop people from smoking pot.

N.A. Poe · 2:38 AM

yup, which is absurd

Jordan Birnbaum · 2:38 AM

Dude - that is Abby Hoffman genius.

N.A. Poe · 2:38 AM

N.A. Poe · 2:38 AM

the real issue is the trampling of our civil liberties and right to assemble
