i hear the one who admitted having all that got released on "insufficient" evidence? huh how much more evidence do they need? WTG CPD on letting another crimnal out to harm or hurt the children with meth and god knows what else!!
I am the mother of one of these MEN and I agree they need to be held accountability for their actions. They all knew what was in the car and what they were doing was wrong. Now these kids will pay for there crime and hopefully get the help they need to better their lives. And yes your right 4 more drug dealers off the street, for that I am glad BUT I love my child and will be there if and when he needs me, NOT to get out of jail but to better himself. I am not afraid to say my child did wrong, But I am sure in you lives you have messed up or you child has made a mistake You get over it and go on and hope for the best! Lets pray these young people pay for their crime but also get the help that they need to go forward not backward in their lives
Accountability is the key. Accountability is what these kids are missing and it is what "misled" kids and drug thugs have been missing for years. No matter who you are, or where you come from, or who your friends are, you must be held accountable for your actions. Playing with fire always gets you burned. All of the people in this vehicle knew what was in it, and they should be held responsible.
