Seldom discussed except for this official is that the same arguments for sanctuary cities is that illegal aliens fear reporting crime to police and fear cooperating with police because of their immigration status. Well the same fears apply to otherwise law abiding citizens who sell and/or store marijuana in their homes. Nothing to stop home invasions as Evans suggests because the owner of the marijuana will not call the police to report crime or to cooperate as witnesses to crime. Funny how liberals use arguments for one issue but argue the opposite when it suits them. One more reason to recognize that liberals are always promoting propaganda, and are not to be believed.

“A lot of home invasions seem to revolve around someone smoking marijuana, young college kids tying to supplement their income,” he said. “We get a half-dozen every year where they invite regular city kids over and next thing you know, their door is getting knocked down and they are getting robbed.”

“I worry about someone picking up their (medical marijuana) supply, walking two blocks down the street, and someone else there waiting to rob them,” Evans said.
Evans was joined by Boston mayor Martin J. Walsh in studio. The mayor says he will oppose any ballot question that legalizes marijuana. He said he has received mixed reviews on how well legalization has worked in Colorado.
“The intent of the marijuana law in Colorado is to get rid of the drug dealers, but they are still dealing because it’s cheaper than what you can buy from the state,” Walsh said.
“We have such an opiate problem out there now, I don’t think it’s the right time to get into making another drug so readily available,” Evans added. “There is no doubt in my mind it’s a gateway drug. ... I am not for it by any means.”
