“Gun Death” The Cell

This story has been around the blogs, but its worth a mention here.

Daniel Chong, the UC San Diego student who was left in a Drug Enforcement Administration holding cell for nearly five days, said the time spent there was a life-altering experience. On Wednesday, the DEA apologized for the incident….Chong said he was at a friend’s house in University City celebrating 4/20, a day many marijuana users set aside to smoke, when agents came inside and raided the residence. Chong was then taken to the DEA office in Kearny Mesa.

He said agents questioned him, and then told him he could go home. One agent even offered him a ride, Chong said. No criminal charges were filed against him.

But Chong did not go home that night. Instead, he was placed in a cell for five days without any human contact and was not given food or drink. In his desperation, he said he was forced to drink his own urine.

He even attempted to kill himself with the glass of his glasses. All for smoking some weed! Further yet another reason why citizens don’t need guns, because the Police will protect you!

Hey, but if he died, it wouldn’t be a “Gun Death”, or a “Gun Suicide”, so it wouldn’t have counted!

    Don’t resist arrest, let the courts get things figured out…

    Yeah.

    That’s the scary part, if he had resisted, then there would have been charges against him. And if he had been formally charged there would at least have been a chain of paperwork, and his cell would have more likely have had a toilet, and he could have had a phone call.

    Course you try kidnapping and imprisoning a person for nearly a week with no food and water and see how well you do in a court of law.
