With the likes of Joe Rogan expressing disappointment, Decriminalize Denton is fighting back against Attorney General Ken Paxton's marijuana lawsuit.
“Legal precedent has long established that a law can only be said to do harm to any party upon its implementation, not by its mere existence,” the group said in a press release Monday.
Deb Armintor, chair of Decriminalize Denton and a former city council member, said Paxton’s lawsuits are the perfect opportunity for him to distract from his own very public legal difficulties. “I wondered ‘Why now?’" she said."I can only speculate and my guess is simply that he’s pretty desperate.” He added: “The people of Killeen made it extremely clear that they do not want low-level, non-violent possession of marijuana to put vulnerable people into the criminal justice system. The city of Killeen has clear legal authority to enact that policy by local ordinance. Alleged criminal Ken Paxton and Bell County are wasting tax dollars pretending otherwise.”
