Let me make sure I understand this.
CaPatriot hears about "huge busts" and decides to walk alone into a remote area, three miles on foot. Against Mexican drug cartels: the full-auto boys. With only a .357.
Then, he spots a Hispanic who "looked very out of place". In a national forest in a state where Hispanics are almost as numerous, or perhaps more numerous, than any other race?
And, he is "certain he is a grower"? From how far away? Did the man have the word Grower on the back of his T-shirt? And, why don't we have a photo of this grower from Mr. Cameraman himself. Lets not forget that he himself has stated without reservation that he is the press.
And, then, as he is leaving, he comes across some of their "gear", none of which is identifiable in the photo as having anything to do with growing MJ. And, he gives us one photo, from a distance, not up close.
Credulity would starve if it had to rely for sustenance on this story.
