Yes they made arrest only to see these dealers back on the street 4 days later.
You take a place like Olive Hill, one of (but by NO means the only)the places hit by the recession, no jobs, no one who cares, and no hope for the future, and what do you expect people to do? The answer: Whatever it takes to survive. Offer people a way to make a living, offer drug rehab facilities (FREE REHAB FACILITIES) are you people so dense that you think a junkie is going to PAY to go to rehab when they can take that money and buy drugs with it?? LOL, Oh, and you can save the Bible thumping for someone who isn't addicted, you may THINK you're doing the right thing but these people don't need criticism, they need help. REAL help ie: FREE REHAB. not preaching.
Praise God!! I cant wait until all the rest of them are caught and put away!! The entire community has been affected by what these sorry excuse's for humans have done to contribute to the drug epidemic here. I only hope that they will be put away for a very long time rather than just put on a probation.
