GOP Politician Who is “Anti-Marijuana” and on Drug Abuse Committee Busted for Marijuana Possession

[Rose77]

An anti-marijuana New York assemblyman was arrested for marijuana possession after an officer stopped him for a traffic violation.

New York state Assemblyman Stephen M. Katz (R) from Mohegan Lake was pulled over for speeding when a police officer found a “small bag” of marijuana on Thursday. Katz was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana, punishable by a fine of up to $100. Shortly after the arrest, Katz issued a statement.

“This should not overshadow the work I have done over the years for the public and my constituency. I am confident that once the facts are presented that this will quickly be put to rest.”


Katz became a victim of the very system he helped perpetuate. Luckily, he isn’t influential in the New York state legislature, being that Democrats hold the majority. He has a troubled past, however. As a veterinarian, he illegally disposed of a dead German shepherd, and allegedly intentionally harmed another dog he was treating.

2. "once the facts are presented that this will quickly be put to rest.”

and he and his lawyer will do everything they can to suppress any facts.

But I think this is his fifteen minutes.

3. Yep, it's all about Psychological Projection. Often they who scream loudest are sometimes

doing what they are screaming about, in some cases.

Psychological Projection: Psychological projection is a defense mechanism people subconsciously employ in order to cope with difficult feelings or emotions. Psychological projection involves projecting undesirable feelings or emotions onto someone else, rather than admitting to or dealing with the unwanted feelings.

13. Oh come on! Can't you tell when someone is just doing research?

Yeah that's what it was, research, and being the humanitarian that he is he couldn't let anyone else be the test subject.

Conservatives are always selflessly using themselves as test subjects for research. Drugs, sex, you name it, all except the ones that are for the death penalty for some reason.

15. Yep, he was experimenting!!!

Those guys are really into R&D!!!

[AlbertCat]

33. Yep, he was experimenting!!!

Also


The cop planted it

His teenage pool boy borrowed the car earlier

He thought it was organic oregano

It was medical weed for his dog (the one he hasn't killed yet)

He doesn't inhale

[PassingFair]

38. He was just holding it for a friend. Nt

[Dustlawyer]

29. I don't think it's that deep. He is a Republican who likes to smoke weed.

Republicans are anti-drug and he doesn't have the courage of his convictions. Probably came out hard against it to prevent any suspicion from taking root. " I thought I smelled weed on Representative so and so!" "Couldn't be, that guy leads the fight against it!"

4. It was for research! n/t

[meow2u3]

5. There ought to be a new category of crimes: hypocrisy crimes

Anyone who preaches against, or publicly opposes legalizing or keeping legal the very behavior for which he or she is caught doing, e.g., drug possession, sex outside of marriage, LGBT rights, etc., should be punished not only for the act they were busted for, but also the hypocrisy of publicly opposing, but secretly engaging in such acts.

We should be able to stop in their tracks the family values politicians caught having affairs; the anti-LGBT people outed by being caught having gay sex; the anti-drug scolds caught with pot or other drugs; etc.

[RKP5637]

18. Yep! Anything with "Family Values" in the title/purpose should be immediately suspect! n/t

[azureblue]

32. the Ten Commandments

Note all these yahoos who want a monument of the Ten Commandments placed on state and federal property. Note the commandment that says "Thous shalt not lie". Now note the ones who make a habit of lying...

Typical Repub....

[yuiyoshida]

6. Do what I say

Not as I do, Republicans!

[Sunlei]

7. he was a veterinarian? Anyone have any links to what he did? must have been bad for him to quit....

Todays Republicans seem to embrace people and animal abusers. For some reason they love for cruel people to be elected.

[Rose77]

11. vets have access to many medicinal drugs.....

[Sunlei]

17. yeah, I worked for a vet in Va., aspirin /w codeine by the 1,000tab bottle was his 'vice'

[Rose77]

24. yep codeine and others

[Sunlei]

25. he was a lunatic, one time pulled out a gun and shot-up his clinic trying to shoot a wild cat

Cat escaped unhurt through a hole he blew through the wall. I didn't come back to work after that, though I did enjoy driving his very, very expensive car

[Rose77]

30. Brava OneoftheOnes!!

what a mf... BUT...they are after him...that has to make you feel like a million bucks

[Sunlei]

14. searched a little looks like he still 'owns' a vet clinic in the bronx.Nice income & fun to playGOP.

[Rose77]

21. oh my!! they will get to this clinic - i pray

[dorkzilla]

8. Hahahahaha! What a jerk!

His district is very democratic, maybe he just needed to chillax cuz the dems were totally harshing his mellow, man.

[Scarsdale]

9. Family values

When republicans speak about Family Values, they mean for the rest of us, not them silly! What no girlfriend or boyfriend in the car with him? Are they SURE he is a gop member?

[SmittynMo]

10. I guess my question is:

How do these hypocritical, ignorant f*cks get in power? Somehow we need to weed out these assholes before they get in office.

[FlatBaroque]

12. Eaxctly. They are there as bought and paid for

prostitutes, doing what is told by their corpoarte puppetmasters.

[christx30]

16. The onr time I wish the penalty

for possession was harsher.
That said, maybe this will open his eyes. All that "great" work he did wasn't in any way harmed by his own use. And the first bad thing that happened to him was because of the laws against pot.
Or at least get him kicked off the commission.

[Sunlei]

20. he still got off easy. police would have 'drug tested' and charged a commoner with a DUI.

[Botany]

19. I guess a karma ran on over his dogma

[valerief]

22. "I wuz framed!"

[ReRe]

23. Anti-hypocrite...

..that's what I am.

[Enthusiast]

26. Typical hypocritical Republican asshole.

[dae]

27. So many hypocrites; So little time!

[librechik]

28. this is unbelievable

no way he was speeding

[NCjack]

31. To the police officer: Thank you. It would have been easy to give

Katz a verbal warning.

[allan01]

34. mom used to say" he who yells the loudest always has something to hide "

[niyad]

35. I still remember one of the former district attorneys in this area, who was unbelievably harsh

on drunk drivers, but was himself caught drinking and driving (in a county car, no less!)

[riversedge]

36. umm.. wonder what the 'facts' will be.

....“This should not overshadow the work I have done over the years for the public and my constituency. I am confident that once the facts are presented that this will quickly be put to rest.”

[yellowcanine]

44. No doubt he and Mary Jane were doing some "research."

"Officer, are you going to believe me or your lying eyes?"

[jmowreader]

46. The facts were he had a bag of weed and he doesn't want you to have one

They'll give him a $100 fine and a very stern warning about getting caught with pot when you're an anti-pot politician.

This will teach him the most important of all lessons: "Don't get caught."

[libodem]

39. .

[GliderGuider]

40. His quote applies even better to the War on Drugs itself:

"I am confident that once the facts are presented that this will quickly be put to rest."

[MADem]

41. Well, looks like the Assemblyman Katz is outta the bag (of weed). nt

[trillion]

42. What a hypocrite. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump is on coke.

[Rose77]

45. what makes u think these pharmacists dont want his money???

[ForgoTheConsequence]

43. This happened 2 years ago....
