it's not hard to tell who is doing the selling. they don't work and drive better cars and wear nicer clothes than i do. And if or when they get caught, all they get is a slap on the wrist. If these young men are coming here from detroit its not because they can 100.00 a week.this is big money deals.My guess is these punks was raised selling and will die selling.
