SHOCK!!! KANSAS CITY CREEPER CONVICTED AFTER BRUTAL RAPE!!! TKC WORD OF WARNING: SMOKING WEED WITH STRANGERS IN WESTPORT IS RISKY!!!

The stereotype about weed is that it's a chill and harmless drug which relaxes users and basically compliments a boring night of pizza and video games. For the most part this assumption is correct.

However . . .

Amid widespread legalization and decriminalization, weed is now more of a social narcotic and, just like alcohol, it's used to loosen inhibitions and facilitate poor choices.

Accordingly . . .

A recent conviction following a horrific rape near Westport should offer a moment of pause to local party people.



To wit . . .

AT THE RISK OF OFFENDING POLITICALLY CORRECT SENSIBILITIES IT'S IMPORTANT TO WARN LOCAL WOMEN THAT WESTPORT WEED HOOKUPS ARE INHERENTLY DANGEROUS!!!

First let's cover our bases . . .

- No, smoking weed with some jerk does NOT entitle him to sexual favors.

- Even when engaged in illegal activity . . . Women still have the right to say NO to unwanted sexual advances.

- Accepting free weed does does not imply sexual consent.

Any decent person knows understands the very simple truisms of pot etiquette but the fact is that Westport is filled with a great many cretins without a shred of common decency . . . And those are just the bachelorette parties.

The main point here is that, for the moment, possession of marijuana in Kansas City, MO is still a felony drug crime. While it's not fair, engaging in any illegal activity puts people at greater risk of further harm . . . Smoking weed in and around Westport might or might not be a gateway to more dangerous drugs but it's definitely a quick way to meet a broad cross-section of stoners; Most of them are charming and harmless, but some are exceptionally dangerous . . .

Accordingly, here's how one recent hookup went wrong . . .



From the Prosecutor's office . . .

"According to court records, the victim said she was in the Westport area when she met a man. The two walked to his car to smoke marijuana. While inside the car, the man made unwanted sexual advances. She told him to stop, but he refused. The attacker then forced the victim into the back seat of his car and raped her. During the assault, the man choked the woman and pulled her hair.

"The woman tried to run away, but the defendant chased her down, threw her to the ground, punched her and forced her back into his car. He assaulted her a second time. The woman escaped her again and flagged down the patrol officers."
