seems odd that you won't post my comment. Read your terms of use. Agreed. Hmm, makes me wonder who at WSAZ is hiding the truth about the Scioto Co Sheriff Dept. The truth will come out, they did arrest someone for flipping the finger and making eye contact They are too concerned in hot pursuit to destroy peoples lives for personal gain. Can't use their time to get thieving junkies. Too trivial to fool with the petty criminals. Would take away time going after the hard core criminals, the ones who beep a car horn.

WEST PORTSMOUTH IS WERE ALL THE BIG DEALERS LIVE AND HIDE, THEY KNOW PPD IS TOUGH THAT'S WHY THEY STAY AWAY FROM THE CITY. THE SHERIFF'S DEPT. NEEDS LOOKED INTO, THEY ONLY ARREST WHO THEY WANT, AND IMPRISON WHO THEY WANT. YOU CAN KILL SOMEONE AND GET LESS TIME THAN A DRUGGIE AND 2, THE GUYS SPONSERING EVERY DRUGGIE IN TOWN IS THE PROBLEM, HONESTLY, HOW MANY DRUGGIES DO YOU KNOW THAT HAVE MONEY EVERY MONTH FOR THEIR DRUGS? THEY GET THE BIG MONEY MEN, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE ON THE WESTSIDE, TO PUT UP THE MONEY , DRIVE THEM TO GET THE MEDICINE FILLED AND THEN GIVE THEM A LITTLE FOR GOING FOR THEM. THEY OWN HOMES AND CARS AND BOATS, ECT. AND HAVE A CRAP JOB AS A FRONT? YOU GET THOSE GUYS OR GALS, YOU'LL STOP THE PROBLEM. ON THE MOVIE OXYCOTIN EXPRESS THERE IS A 70 YR. OLD LADY DEALING DRUGS? BEFORE OUR TOWN WAS FULL OF CRACK, NOW IT'S PILLS! THEY ALL NEED PRISON, ALL OF THEM, RICH OR POOR, WHOEVER YOU ARE, PRETENDING YOUR NOT LIKE THESE PEOPLE IS WRONG, YOU CREATED THEM!

Everyone wants to blame the addict. It's the dealers and the cops that are PAID to turn thier heads the other way. Get rid of those and your problem ends. The addict doesn't want to be an addict. They got hooked out of stupity.They can't stop by theirself. People and families have given up on them. so they gave up on them selves.Remember the hwy. sniper. He had the right Idea, he just shot the wrong people. His aim should have been at the dealers, in thier cars, on their corners, on their front porches. a vigalanti group to blow up meth labs. And an honest law official to take out dirty cops. There in lays your answer.
