Made ya look.
I've got to stop reading HuffingtonPost, which gets stupider and stupider. I also suspect it getting far more right wing since they seem to delight in stories that vilify President Obama and Hillary Clinton. Their latest dumb article featured this headline: "Here's the Crime-Ridden Hellscape That Is Colorado After Legal Weed" and the photo shown above. I guess they thought they were being awfully cute since the article ending with these statistics: "In the first four months, marijuana sales amounted to more than $202 million, about a third of them recreational. Taxes from recreational sales were almost $11 million." This was followed by, "Despite some critics's fears of a pot-driven crime explosion, Denver police sale burglaries and robberies were down by between 4 and 5 percent in the first four months of the year." In short, dippy, smart-ass headline followed by "gotcha" article. Dumb.
