Actually, Seattle PROPOSED to vacate hundreds of marijuana charges going back 30 years.
I hope the proposal gets accepted, but I dislike clickbait headlines even more.
As I see it, the subtext on why TheRoot.com (1) wrote a misleading headline in that way was not only to clickbait readers, but also to function as way for The Root's journalist Angela Helm to use their media to pressure the courts into accepting the proposal.
Which is a noble intent, but I hate clickbait.
