Black lives matter…. this poor innocent guy was just trying to make a living. The gun wasn’t his he doesn’t know how it got there. the medical cannabis was for his patients that come out at night in the housing projects. Well it looks like he well have to close up shop for a while, poor customers that won’t be seeing his product.
