hmmm 14 people? What sort of sentence will these people get? How can we keep track of this? How many of them will be on the street again in a few hours? What can we do to stop them from going right back at it?

I suppose they will get discouraged eventually if they keep getting busted....
That is something we can hope for.

Their game won't be so tight after a stint on the hill and most will be missing all their front teeth.

No cash confiscated? Dang! These guys work with cheques and/or credit cards only? No time to make crime pay, I guess. Bummer.

Items of clothing with embroidery on them? Their moms do that? No wonder the Mafia doesn't do that. Makes 'em harder to catch, I guess.

5 will get you 10 that everybody walks.
Why do we never hear the end results of these cases after they go to court?
If in fact,they ever do?

14 people. The ones that are addicts should be locked in a cement room with food and water until they are clean. The dealers and gang members should be locked in a cement room until their remains can be hosed down the drain.

The focus is still on the wrong end of the problem. Doesn't anyone realize that there are young people lined up to replace those who are taken out? What is the real underlying problem? Is it the demand for drugs in the first place? Or, the temptation of easy money? Or acceptance or belonging to a group? Or, the excitement of the lifestyle? Or? Or? Or?

Folks, when we continually deal with the symptoms, the cause of the real issues are never dealt with. How come we don't change the direction of our efforts? Especially if we are expecting different results.

Hopefully they will be able to grab the house under the proceeds of crime legislation.
