DEA Puts Up Billboards In Hopes Of Catching Pharmacy Looters
CBS Local - Baltimore ^ | June 22, 2015 | by Rick Ritter

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Dozens of looters and thousands of dollars worth of drugs stolen. The DEA launches billboards to find those who wreaked havoc on Baltimore pharmacies during the Freddie Gray riots.

The billboards are along I-83 and I-95, including one near Hanover Street. Agents say 30 pharmacies were ransacked and close to 300,000 doses of drugs were stolen. The DEA is desperate to put the thieves behind bars.

One pharmacy after the other—bizarre surveillance video from April 27 shows looters grabbing every drug they can get their hands on. Some communities were left with no medication. “Everyone came in that day, we really had no drugs to give them,” said the owner of Care One Pharmacy. Now a desperate attempt to lock up those thieves. Surveillance images of those accused of wiping out 30 pharmacies in Baltimore were blasted on billboards by the DEA. “We’re trying to identify the people, number one, and number two, we’re trying to get some information of the people who could identify other people,” said Sean Ellerman, DEA.

Ask the mayor and the prosecutor to share. They could get some back that way.

Wow, the cameras are racist. The images are guilty of profiling. They filtered out the white looters. The images are not racially proportionate. We need to riot and demand the government force whites to do their fair share of looting.

When a guy is too short for the FBI, they go to the DEA.

Where do you think people are going to get money for their drug habits?

Work for it?

A little, eh?

Keep the bastards stoned so they won’t rob, rape and kill their own neighbors.

When caught, ship them to a prison 100 miles away from civilization so that they can’t escape and won’t be a threat to civilized people.

Willing to bet that a lot of these folks in the photos have criminal records but in Democrat Party-ruled and ruined Baltimore, that can be a “Get Out of Jail Free” card, esp. with DA Mosby, the racist, in charge.

Of course with the “No Snitch” program and mentality, a lot of these crooks are going to get away with their crimes. However, I hope the decent people drop a “dime” on them, or a sledgehammer, whichever they have in their hand at the right time.

Get the trash off the streets and live!

I suppose plain shoe-leather police work is too ‘old-school’ for the DEA, or local cops anymore. With pictures as good as these; What is the movie phrase, “These clowns couldn’t find Joe Lewis in a bowl of rice.”

Actually catching and prosecuting these Obama sons would be racist anyway, so why really bother.

"The billboards are along I-83 and I-95"

Showing blurry photos of AAs between the ages of 16 and 35 wearing hoodies to suburbanites stuck in traffic. Yeah, that should solve the case! Wonder if whoever came up with this "brilliant" idea understands what "commuters" are.

My guess it must be another Obama political appointee - one who makes Marie Harf look like Einstein.

If they don’t start by ARRESTING THE MAYOR, all is a moot point. Utter BS. The Mayor ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE SHE HAD THE RESOURCES TO STOP IT BUT CHOSE TO ‘GIVE THE THUGS SPACE’ TO LOOT INSTEAD.

looters grabbing every drug they can get their hands on.

They'll be dumping the stuff you can't get high on. Start grabbing water samples from the sewer mains.

Another thought, wouldn’t using facial recognition software and running the photos of looters against Baltimore’s mugshot collection work — that is, if Baltimore has its mugshots computerized? Hard to believe that none of the Baltimore looters has a prior arrest record.

I do see a common factor here.

Drugs themselves aren't worth much when prohibition and patents are excluded. You could theoretically drug and house every single addict for a fraction of the cost of the WOD.

The WOD essentially recruits an army of mentally ill addicts to steal from everyone and give our money to cartels protected by the government.

It is just another system of legal wealth distribution for the few at everyone else’s expense.
