'Gandalf the green fairy' & the cops - Lilith7 - 02-03-2025
Supported by Chloe Swarbrick, a former cop who once helped bust Gandalf & a widow whose late husband was helped by Gandalf. The treatment he needed would have cost them $400 a fortnight; they paid Gandalf half of that & when they were unable to pay after a house fire, he gave it to them free of charge. So very obviosuly this isn't someone trying to make shitloads of money; this is someone actually helping others.
It just doesn't make sense to continue busting people like this when he's doing good for others, & when there are far,far more serious crimes which police should be looking into first.

Mean spirited right wing cops, my old landlady from the sixties used to say, never trust a lawyer or a policeman, they are always on the job.

Well...almost always. There was once a lawyer back in the day who was known to dabble now & then, & I heard of a cop who when asked, left those being busted a tiny plant.
But of course they may just have been urban myths.
