Guys I'm not anywhere close to Michigan. The gangs from Detroit are migrating to Southern states where they can sell their crack for twice as much money. I'd rather not say exactly where I'm from to keep some anonymity, but let's just say I'm close to VA and NC. The gangs send their guys down here with the crack and sell it. Then they go back to Detroit and pick up another load. Usually the first thing they do when they get here is steal a car. Then they make their deals and head back to Detroit.
Part of me thinks we should just legalize crack and everything else. Maybe we could set up drug bars out in the middle of nowhere and let these people do whatever they do with impunity. Maybe that would keep them away from me.
I'm no angel myself. I've had problems with pain pill addiction. I got started by a doctor prescribing me hydrocodone after surgery. However I've never even considered killing anyone over pain pills and I'm currently in a treatment program and I've improved but I'm still not 100% cured but at least I'm trying. I don't buy from street dealers either. I've always managed to get a prescription.
