Blake Benthall was arrested today Nov. 6 for operating an illegal drug marketplace called Silk Road. His website has not only provided a safe environment to buy drugs, helping to keep violent gangs off the streets, but has also helped lower the amount of money Mexican Cartels get from drugs. The very same cartels who have killed OVER 60,000 PEOPLE since 2006. The very same cartels who paid government officials to kill/kidnap almost 50 students only weeks ago. Look it up for yourself if you don't believe these horrors. And once you find they are true, ask yourself is the guy smoking pot down the street the enemy, or is it the cartels SLAUGHTERING THOUSANDS of INNOCENT PEOPLE?
We are treating this man like a criminal, when he should be regarded as an AMERICAN HERO, I say PARDON HIM NOW!!!
