A few headlines glorify this teacher. But bottom line is, he, along with his felon buddy, was attempting to steal illegal drugs so he could profit from selling those same drugs illegally to the sisters and brothers and parents of the kids who 'adored' him.

Consequence of watching HBO programs.

“Harris, the head coach for his school’s men’s basketball and track team, was attempting to steal drugs and money from the cartel...”

We are a nation of good ideas, but ripping off a drug cartel is not among the best of ideas.

It is the consequences of trying to control that which can not ever be controlled.

Prohibition should have taught us that.

Alamance county only a few years ago was a nice clean area. Combining I-40 and I-85 through there makes it a perfect place to distribute drugs.

Add to that UNC, Duke, NC State and the Golden Triangle and you have a good local market.

I don’t think there is a single day that we don’t read about a serious crime in that area, yet is has a relatively small population.

The drug war has taken over.

For such an exciting, 007 type of existence, the teacher had a ‘grey as wallpaper’ kind of name; “Barney Harris”.

I don’t know, but it could have been the best idea Harris ever had.

I thought it ended pretty good. One less drug drug dealer. One more local hero [the beloved drug dealer] One less cartel member. Everyone wins. He proved that he had the i.q. to be a teacher because he was stupid enough to believe he could rip off the cartel and get away with it. He could made principle in 10 days. With teachers such as this, no wonder the students are so dumb.

It’s becoming ever more apparent, that the Democrat Party is the drug cartel party.

That’s why the cartels want a ban against modern sporting rifles here (a so-called assault weapons ban). It would pave the way to them being able to control communities all over this country, as they do in Mexico.

As it is now, they don’t want to get into a firefight with anyone who is armed with a semiautomatic rifle and has no drug or other criminal involvement. That would ignite an open season on them in small towns or rural areas.

Interesting in light of the 2020 election controversy.

The DEA called Atlanta the cartel’s hub, connecting to Charlotte, Raleigh and then the coast.

Harris was declared dead at the scene and the cartel member, Alonso Beltran Lara, died at the hospital, according to the police.

Cartel member? Is that something you sign up for on Facebook?

Take heed to what I say.

It’s not hard to control the drug problem and the rest of it. Just takes a little sweat, some good strong prisons and the death penalty.

What I meant by consequence of watching HBO programs was dead on, so I’d recommend you pay close attention.

The very reason Hollywood or whoever puts on shows glorifying teachers making drugs trailers is exactly what you’re reading in this Hill article.

Yes indeedy, these Hollywood types, their criminal cronies and the drug cartels can be controlled.

The way to control it from the other end is to put as much into educating the public as we do into brainwashing them.

Instead of attaching glamor to being a meth dealer, we should point out how weak and stupid it is to want to emulate any of these lowlifes coming from Hollywood.
