About a month ago my marital arts buddy was strip searching a guy and had him bend over. The guy had a plastic bag sticking out of his rectum. They made him pull it out and it was a golf ball size bag of crack cocaine.
It's rather common.
I wonder how many of the people who smoke that stuff know that.
I was trying to make a funny but I hear ya on things people do to hide drugs. My father works construction in NJ's prison system and he says the guards tell him stories that are downright laugh out loud but sad at the same time.
But then again I don't think crack heads are very concerned that their product be fecal matter free.
Probably way too graphic for the young ones but some older teens could use a scary story when dealing with severe drug addiction.
I couldn't imagine working in a prison, not even for a minute. My neighbor is a prison guard, we exchange stories.
My father hates it. Though he tells funny stories about how popular he is in the women's detention center after installing airconditioning ;-)
If he left a .357 or .40 or 9mm at home in favor of the .7.62X25, that would indicate something else.
Gives a whole new meaning to crack cocaine, doesn't it? LOL
Oh, just curious, what's the name of the city?
Can you flag me on this one .... been looking at these pistols for a cache or just an extra one. Be interested to see its performance
Good solution for pit bulls. One of my favorite targets.
One of our detectives was working with some Cleveland PD detectives. They refer to Lorain as "Little Detroit."
The population is about 70,000, and is the 10th largest city in Ohio. We have a steel mill which manufactures much of the seemless pipe that is made in bomb making. We also have a Ford plant that was making the Cougar and Thunderbird.
Lorain has the largest bascule bridge in the US and 2nd biggest in the world. The bascule bridge is named after Charles Berry, a US Marine who was awarded the Medal of Honor for actions against the Japanese at the battle of Iwo Jima. George Steinbrenner used to own the American Shipbuilding company, which closed down many years ago.
The city also has a bridge named after Lofton Henderson who was from Lorain. He drove his airplane down the stack of a Japanese ship in WWII, Henderson Field on Guadalcanal is named in his memory.
A WWI Marine named Danley has a street named after him also, Danley Square.
Admiral Ernest J. King, Commander of Naval Forces Pacific, WWII, was also a Lorain native and we have a High School named after him (which only 50% of the students who are enrolled attend)
"Father Guido Sarducci"-Don Novello, is also from Lorain. I met him a few months ago when his father passed away and he was in town. He wasn't too pleased with the police that day. I think his sister was the Surgeon General for a time.
Helen Steiner Rice was from Lorain, as is Toni Morrison, the writer. Terry Anderson, the writer who was held hostage in Iran for years is from Lorain. I saw him once at St. Mary's Church when I went to Mass, shortly after he was released.
We've had a number of pro athletes from Lorain, most of them played football, the most recent was Raymont Harris who was a running back for the Bears.
Lorain used to be a great city, alot of industry, great job opportunities, and a very patriotic city. At one time we had the steel mill, the Ford plant, American Shipbuilding, which built US Navy ships, including a troop transport, the USS Lorain County (which they are trying to bring back here and dock) Thew shovel, the steam shovel company which made steam shovels that helped build the Panama Canal.
But it's all mostly gone now. Today Lorain is trying to rebound from near bankruptcy. We're another dying rustbelt city with a large welfare population.
So, that's the Reader's Digest version, a once beautiful old city now in decay.
If your ever up this way stop in and we can go walleye or perch fishing.
Take care....
I think my son saw that. He's totally into fishing, I am too, just hard to get the time right now. As a matter of fact, my son is up in the High Sierras fishing as we speak, coming back Sunday.... Never caught a walleye, but would sure love to. I too have seen them on the fishing shows.....
