let's talk about legalize pot it has been legal in Colorado now for three
months and you know they were many people predicting particularly on Fox
News that this was going to be the Armageddon we were crime was gonna be
crazy everyone was going to be smoking dope the kid
don't forget about the kids we have video this is not boxes this is GOP
state representative
Jared Wright protect at predicting what was going to happen
once we was legalized but overall representative house in golden colorado
with pot being legal
we've had reports from our law enforcement officials a
recently the good Denver Police Chief commented that the roller has gone
smoothly
a as a a couple days ago they had had and it should be
you know attribute any accent violence a
more increase crimes to the fact that we have the shops on our street corners
I a spare time though I'm you know they say it's simply a matter of time before
we start seeing some problems it's okay a matter up to i mean that's like
republican what I want I'm going to predict something it's not going to
happen and then I'm going to tell you that might happen again
in the future not might be with seems pretty sure that it is going to happen
I just for some other some the numbers way in the first two months
overall property crime actually fell by 14 points 6 percent
in Denver and dramatic violent crime
was down by 2.4 percent so
you cook you can't necessarily get that much from those numbers but thats
to matter I did not know how long until you tell him that at some point that
shits gonna go down
yeah pretty big drop 14 percent drop over what is essentially what two months
three months yeah we don't know how much of that can be directly attributable to
bangla-vision yet while there's probably a I know a lot fewer
a legal pot sales we're going on so there's less crime in that regard
be I like the fact that they're still sticking to it at what's most
frustrating is
when you see that guy say okay I've seen these three months there's been nothing
crazy going on
he hasn't been convinced by the evidence the whole
reason that we're excited for this experiment to be done in the States
is that when they try to do in another stay in the same BS arguments are
brought up
right you can point to the example I get a pass would point to say Portugal or
the Netherlands or something like that
attitude is that we want to point to Colorado and Washington and say you know
this is the example we have there hasn't been crime
but it looks like the republicans a assisted by Fox News are not going to
take that evidence into
consideration which is disappointing and can I give you a quick
Jared Wright anecdote clip because I'm might be the only person you know as one
I to the two months ago is just a represent from colorado is his first
term
two months ago adding was too much on every three months who is this year
but Eddie conceal and carry hearing in
Colorado he made this speech about how important it is that this kid
at the hearing because people who conceal and carry a much more
responsible
done owners they have to go through et cetera et cetera well hours after that
speech
at his loaded gun was found under the chair had been sitting on
I so admiring the the hearing they found a bag he had
you cleared for cotton has gone there everyone is lonely that he's a because
is a peace officer is allowed to carry one at the state Capitol
not because people who are still responsible people who have concealed
carry out carriers so much more
but that doesn't have a lot of the lens though because if your cat responsible
concealed carry person and you have the gun on you
theoretically go off if you leave it somewhere else you can't shoot I did all
I have not had %um
we gotta get my nephew and yeah but what should the republicans because we know
they care about taxes all the time you know
Colorado generated fourteen million dollars in the first month
%uh legalize weed yeah so it nothing else should know that
override their your logic in in this department and that's not counting extra
snacks
all it is is good not all the subtle mentioned that part that store on your
neighborhood corner
that he refer to that's what scares Republic is that the bad element the
neighborhood
yeah what do you make a bill if the guy that can read the tea leaves on this
that knowing that everyone in the state is for it
there just wanted to protect his own at what I think there's anything I think
there are
everybody like it whenever there's social change at any time
there are always the laggards who look ridiculous right now
you know you look at civil rights and you see these last hangers-on
gay right to look at that would be the last haters in half by matching
climate change you know income climate change climate change less so
because the there's not gonna be there isn't a day tourism legislation that can
change that the weather is with with Potter with gay marriage with civil
rights i mean
it's a little more nebulous and the actually very relaxed very literal danza
the word
a but but i do think that that you know used they're always these people that
are the last
hangers-on you look back now the civil rights movement you see these old
senators were down about segregation just saw
time passed the bar
