I wonder if the buyer was charged as well? posted at 11/3/2009 7:21:08 PM (17622) akron23refugee said: It doesn't matter whether you are buying drugs, using an atm or walking down the street. We can not let these animals continue to think they can do whatever they want. They are robbing, beating and menacing people so that they can up their street cred, and what we need to do is ruin that cred by either locking them up or shooting back. Locking them up generally does no good as we have an extremely lax juvenile system in place, so the next option is to take back the streets. I wish neighborhood watches could become neighborhood security forces, capable of dealing street justice out to these worthless punks. posted at 11/4/2009 9:48:06 AM (17644) missfit said:Cloverine, This happens all the time. In most cases though the victim doesnt press charges or doesnt cooperate with police. I'm glad they caught the kid and the man buying dope learns a valuable lesson?..eh..maybe not. Potheads dont think logically that shows quite clearly here huh? If you wish to leave a comment, please log in or register. |
