Same song and dance. It has to be extremely frustrating to law enforcement officers/deputies/patrolmen to have to deal over and over again with repeat offenders that the "system" continues to release back out to continue doing more of the same.

It's amazing how you would think these people would learn from their first mistake. You are out on probation, and yet, you stockpile narcotics. I applaud the probation officer. So many don't really check on their folk and some are just stretched to thin with so many.

That's the problem. They don't learn. These criminals are not rehabilitated. They let them out, and they go right back to their old ways.

Repeat offender. We need another justice system. To many repeat offenders are on the street repeating their crimes. What is the Federal Government during to control drugs in our America?

Why do the Judges keep letting these people out of jail? I bet the police get so tired of arresting people, putting their lives on the line arresting drug dealers, only for the judges to put them right back out there.

I think we should just do like they do in South America and handcuff them and make them kneel in the street and then shoot them in the back of the head. Unless, of course, they are working for our gang.

$4,000! Are you sure this was a drug bust or an unlicensed snowcone hut serving the dogs days of summer. Someone need to tell this fool he is making a complete fool of himself. He don't even have enough to make bail or for the city to profit from him ill dealing.
Don't get me wrong, illegal drug dealing is a crime and worthy of punishment, but lawbreakers, there is also something you need to consider; risk vs profit. The risk outweighs the profit so give it up and resolve to get a 9-5 and work like the rest of us.
And what eloborate mointoring system? It's a camera mounted on the outside of a trailer!

Did ya'll know we have 1000% more people in our jails now than we did 30 yrs. ago . I think we should use the criminals to help build bigger prisons and I think all prisons should be as self sufficient as Angola . Our population is bigger and we took prayer out of the classrooms and our family values have slipped . I believe that basically they are still there , they've just been ignored while too many people are trying to live the American Dream . Too many cars in the garage,a bigger and better house , big vacations and having the lastest technology have taken priority . It's perfectly natural that we want our childrens lives to be better than ours,but are we sacrificing what's most important to get there. It's spawning greed and making it seem more desparate to some people that,for whatever reason, just don't have in their make-up to get ahead .We can't keep turning repeat criminals loose on society to do it all over again . I do believe that not all criminals should be given life and some criminals deserve a 2nd chance . Some ex-convicts actually do come out of prison and never go back . Some actually become outstanding citizens . Not all are monsters . Keep the bad ones in prison but let the others pay their debt to society and let them move on .

Sounds like they might have caught Mr. Big in this raid cchat. He had three prescription medications and some pot. I wonder if that 174 dollars was his gross or his net. They need to check this guy out good, maybe get him to turn over on the cartel supplying him. This could be another French Connection.

Somebody seriously needs to get this guy some help. Check his iq, maybe he qualifies for a ssdi check.

Enkikur , give the guy a chance , he'd only been out for 2 wks. I'm sure he would have built his business into something more lucretive if he was given more time. On the outside of the slammer,that is . Maybe he feels at home in jail .

The real problem with drugs in this country is not what the public perception believes it to be. It's fun to think of the scandalous behavior of law breakers, but not so popular to look at the real drug problem facing America.

"While approximately 10,000 per year die from the effects of illegal drugs, an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reported that an estimated 106,000 hospitalized patients die each year from drugs which, by medical standards, are properly prescribed and properly administered. More than two million suffer serious side effects."

"Our population is bigger and we took prayer out of the classrooms and our family values have slipped ."

You are so right and we can actually take credit for it. I don't mean us individually but collectively because we sat back and let one little old mixed up lady change prayer for all of us and we sat on our hands and let it happen. Once again, if we don't stand up and take back our country it is going to be more and more and get more and more dangerous for us to live in.

I can't criticize because I was in there with the rest of you and now so many more believe that prayer and God should not be part of our daily lives. We did it to ourselves and with the coming presidential race so close at hand, we will soon see another downside to the country. A presidential year with no one presidential in the running. God protect your children for as long as you can and thank God my days on this earth are getting shorter because I really don't want to be around during the final days of the great US of A.

I don't believe marijauna is any more dangerous than alcohol . I have never used it but I believe it should be legalized . It would free some space for real criminals in our prisons and we could reep the benefits of more tax money . I believe we have a far worse problem with a lot of Drs. prescribing too many presciptions to their patients . My best friend of 30 yrs. died from that mistake . She was taking 33 persciptions a day . One Dr. perscribed them all . Her illness was chronic fatigue . Now who should be in jail?

I hear you belle. I have run across many elderly people taking over 15 medications a day. It is hard to believe that can be better than what ails them, and that all those things don't have unknown interactions with one another.

Alcohol is actually more harmful than marijuana in terms of both bodily and mental effects.

Sixty percent of federal inmates are non-violent drug offenders, and eighty percent of those are marijuana offenders. That is why we need so many jails.

He originally got caught with several grams of cocaine. That is why he was on probabtion. He lived across the street from me a year ago. He was really cool, would cut my grass for me for extra money, but never knew he still did that mess. That is sad he would sell drugs for money instead of getting a JOB! Maybe it was the thrill of it or all the money he made from it. I don't know. It just makes me sad that he would throw his whole life away over that mess!! And he will get about 20 years for this. No doubt. Posession of a firearm while on probabtion is an automatic 5 years mandatory not to mention all the other drugs that were found.

Ladyrider, although you were talking directly to Lambchop, I read it also. I also read some of the comments and feedback from the bloggers. I didn't read all of them, just the first few. By what I've read so far, they agree with Michael wholeheartedly. Though this is off the subject, I find it very interesting really interesting.

I'll be sure to read the blogs. It's sad that in our world today, people can make lots of money dealing drugs but can barely make ends meet while working. However, I would rather work and struggle to make ends meet but be able to lay my head down at night knowing I had worked hard that day than to sell drugs and always looking over my shoulder.

Nicole25, it would really depend on whose court you're in. I know if he was in KJ's court he would walk: set free to roam the streets of the Mis-Lou and do the same thing. Lowering bonds, and sentencing criminals to drug programs is this judge knows, It's just SAD. I agree with natsanus there is a need for a new another justice system. Too many repeat offenders are on the street repeating their crimes, because judges like KJ keep letting these people out of jail.

Those are a lot of prescription drugs. Didn't someone rob or break into a drug store recently? If so, was it him?

Posted by nicole25 (anonymous) on June 5, 2008 at 3:37 p.m. (Suggest removal)

No, I doubt he robbed any drug stores. To have known him you wouldn't think he a drug dealer. It sure took me by surprise. IMTHE1, your right they do let these criminals walk free. They do have drug programs but I was told that if you already have a felony on your record you are not eligible to be in the drug program. I knew someone that went through the drug program and is still sober to this day. I guess it only works if the person wants it to work. It makes me so sad. Too bad he didn't have better sense than that. If you deal drugs you will get caught. It's only a matter of time. He has a little girl too. I know he was also going to school. Would've been easier to just get a job like everyone else! Sad Sad... If he gets Sanders she will lock him up and throw away the key!

How can one acquire such large number of drugs? Did the officers jump the gun, so to speak? Was there a recorder for the camera? It appears, that the cash collected, was enough to pay for the police car's fuel. There seems to be a BIG FRY running loose somewhere. Where there any audits from local drug stores that came up short? Hopefully, rehabilitation will fit him for society.
