The media sure are gullible, huh? The police trump the stats of the bust and the media says "Wow! I smell a hell of a story for tonight's news... but it sure would sound better if we added maybe... hmmm.... $700,000 to the total worth?!" Both the cops and media prosper while the grower can rot in hell as far as they're concerned. Meanwhile, you have some freak abducting kids and molesting them and then cutting them to pieces, but the cops don't care - they just busted a guy with a barn full of plants!
To hell with busting rapists, pedophiles, and meth labs. Priorities Nute, priorities. Get with the program.
