truly devastating! my prayers are with his family and all the friends he has touched in his life. sad day for the cannabis community and America.

 

[NOKUY]

now the news is trying to hint that he was a "drug dealer".

They went out of their way to find out how much "traffic" goes in and out of his home....apparently it's alot.

somehow I knew the media would seek their way around calling him an "upstanding stoner"

 

[Nikijad4210]

Of course they're going to call him a dealer---Painting good people in a bad light amps up the shock value, and drives home the "need" to keep herb illegal.

 

[all messed up]

Was he WHAB from og?

 

[LEO]

Did he post here? I saw some heated exchanges last week. I hope it wasn't on of those people. Jesus this is awful.

I dont think so. He was a member of yahooka since 2000 i belive. Went by the governor.

He was a great man, Ive spoke to him personally and found this out yesterday morning and it was a complete shock.

R.I.P. Ken Gorman.

I used to grow in the most dangerous neighborhood of a city that had ranged from between at one point the first and at the lowest the 7th most dangerous city in america over the last 5 years. Murders had frequently happened within a block of the house. Having any of the local thugs come to the conclusion that I grew or sold scared the shit out of me. I really believe that money was the sole motive in this horrendous crime. During the time I was growing there I had someone break a window and come in and someone beat down my backdoor to get in. Fortunately I had two pitbulls and a 120lb german shepherd that foiled the burglaries however if I didn't have them someone could've easily found out I grew and either broke in or sold the information to someone who would. This is heartbreaking and could happen to any of us who grow in our own home. Its a painful reminder that there are other risks to growing in your own home other than the police. I no longer grow in my own home as it brings risk and danger to my wife whom I love more than anything and could never forgive myself if she went to jail or was murdered. Please everyone make safe and security your number one concern.

very very sad but i am very glad they spoke positivly about him. the neighbors words were very well spoken and not negative towards marijuana, good to see that in the news for once... very sad though.

This happened a while ago...February 18, 2007. I thought I had heard about this...doesn't make it any less tragic though.

 

[mojojojo]

i just bumped it cause he was a personal friend and i just found out by reading the thread. sucks cause i knew him in real life ,
sorry for bring up bad news:-(

This kind of shit scares that crap out of me.
Like I'll be just sitting watching TV at night and I think to myself.
What if some people decided to brake in here and steal my plants leaving me for dead.
Plus what if the police came and broke in and took everything leaving me in the klegal system for the rest of my life.
It's all a bunch of bullshit that needs to stop.
I'm moving to the middle of no where and noone will know where it is execept my Fam.
Not many people know where I live now.
I hate the city.
But onbly because of the people in it.

Don't tell, don't smell, don't show your grow.
