"The police should leave us alone and let us sell our weed!"

The worthy cause of marijuana legalization may need a good spokesman, but Antoine Blalock is not that man:

Here's where things get bizarre. Blalock drove to the Seventh District Police Station on Alabama Avenue S.E. in Washington, D.C., in May 2007. He pulled a handgun from the trunk and started firing, shooting in the air outside the station. Five shots. He shouted, according to court records, "The police should leave us alone and let us sell our weed!"

Blalock complied with demands to drop his gun—and he did not stop there. He dropped his pants, standing naked before officers wrapped him up in a towel. Police seized 23 bags of marijuana. Blalock told police he wanted to "throw weed" and shoot the gun to get recognition from a record label.
