I’m glad they caught them. But there are thousands more around. They caught 28 drug dealers. Am I suppose to be impressed.
Whew! 28! *SMH*
How ‘bout the Deep State and the like? Govt is a *FAR* more detriment to my Rights, Life, Liberty and Happiness than any drug dealer.
Plus, they tend to congregate in one area and easier to pick-up /s
Call the Orkin Man...
I have his brother Alvin on my fantasy football team. He’s a running back with the Saints.
Round up everyone in both groups. I don’t care which group is worse. I want them both off the streets because both are a criminal menace.
