Some Agenda Here?

 I've been watching this story from the Denver Post this morning-
Curious, as the story itself contains no hint as to how the murder was connected to medical marijuana, a legal business in Colorado. All we have so far is the assertion from the cops. So who wants to emphasize the medical pot aspect, the Post or the police?

 I see Joel Warner at Westword has similar thoughts -

Was last night's "medical marijuana murder" really a medical marijuana murder?

But the question remains: Was the murder last night really related to medical marijuana?

In news stories, police indicate the shooting was tied to a medical marijuana sale. And Denver Police Department spokesman Sonny Jackson, in a recent phone conversation, said the same thing: "I think the detectives are confident that the location [of the shooting] is involved in some capacity with medical marijuana."

But since the investigation is ongoing, Jackson can't relate the details as to why detectives believe such a thing -- and in an attention-grabbing situation like this, those details are key.

 

We're left to contemplate the sensationalism. It's a politically charged subject, and some people have political motives. Naturally.
