Should I feel sorry for this guy?

Talk about irony. An anti-narcotics consultant is being sentenced for possession after being caught with 2 poppy bulbs and 0.6 grams of hashish. Apparently, Damian over at Small Dead Animals thinks we should sympathize because of the overwhelming evidence of his innocence of the "crime" of possessing the wrong and politically incorrect plants. However, it is difficult for me to feel sympathy for somebody that earns money by being part of the corrupt WAR ON DRUGS in the first place.
