Right on !!! Thanks for naming the suspects. Now at least we know who they are dealing with, as well as those who know them personally.

Any gang ties?

Doesn't any one of them have three names? I do.

Wow Good job. But I can't help feeling that the cops are going to have a big disappointment on their hands when it comes time for sentencing these scum.

I would estimate that not one of them will spend any more than 12 - 14 months in the big house. Personally I favor donating them to our Canadian Military for sniper training.
It is so hard to find a good moving target these days. Could even make an Olympic sport out of it.

This is a good news article. I hope to see more in the future. Once you establish a hard line with these guys, they start to fall apart.

We pay big money for policing, and we expect to get the maximum bang for our buck. It appears that maybe its starting to happen. I certainly hope so.

Boy.... talk about a bunch of people that have learned NOTHING over the past generation.

News flash!!

Cocaine is cheaper and more plentiful than ever before. It is also less expensive, when adjusted for inflation, than it was 30 years ago.

Get more harsh I hear you say?

The countries with the death penalty for drug trafficing have just as many addicts as the countries that have less severe penalties.... check, I did and found this information availible on line, easy to find. Iran has a very high addiction rate for herion and they hang people all the time for selling drugs. The harsh penalties work real well...huh?

Some people are just too dim to understand that the drug war can never be won.

Some are too dim to understand that drug use is a medical issue, not a law enforcement issue.

Too bad dim people vote.
