Now put them all in a cell together and some court fees and other problems would go away to.

Now let's get the Judges, the Lawyers and the Politicians working with the police to deal this this element of society.

What we have been doing hasn't been working, in case anyone hasn't noticed. Time to begin dealing with things differently. Who's In? Who's in the Way?

Who are the Game Tight Soldiers?

Before it was just the Renegades... then the Crew, and the Independent Soldiers. Wikipedia lists a group known as the Wildcats.

Is it possible that the war against drugs is just allowing more and more to set up shop?

Are they in custody or out already with just a "promise to appear"? Ha ha ha . Keep that revolving door well oiled.

Like Harb said. Have the scum walked?
Oh, right, innocent until proven guilty.
Sorry.
Anyway, Kudos to our guys and dolls in uniform. Please keep at it, maybe the idiot political masters will grow some knackers and allow the system to punish the scum more severely.

The RCMP deserve applause for this...

It will now be refreshing if we see the courts treat these scumbags with appropriate punishment.
