Why is it obvious to everyone who lives in a neighborhood that drug activity is going on, but nothing seems to get done about it? There is a house on Elm street that a not too subtle signal is "hung out" when open for business, and the "thugs" next door to me with there gold teeth and white jump suits keep "plying their trade" even after being busted once. Are we letting this activity go on in our neighborhoods in and amongst small children and working people, so they can lead us to the bigger fish? Or is the town so corrupt with drugs that more are in on it than not? This is disgusting to me whatever the reason.

If it's THAT obvious to use "regular citizens" or residents of the neighborhoods, what do the police and specially trained drug detectives see I wonder? They must know of all the "secret signals" advertising drugs for sale no doubt. They must see all these people going in and out of drug houses day and night.

Does Bradford have any kind of a "Crime Stoppers" or "Crime Watch" or "Neighborhood Watch" program?

Can you be a bit more specific on the details? We the people be organizing AGAINST drugs or are they all getting together to do drugs?

Citizens ORGANIZING Nation-Wide for The 26th ANNUAL NNO
"Give Crime and Drugs a GOING AWAY PARTY!"

Now, just to be clear on this .... are they against EVERYBODY using and distributing drugs in our community, even the "real white guys" who may be business owners and otherwise "respected" members of our community, or just the lower level, street level distributors who may be "non-white" or newer members of our community?

My two cents... make drugs legal especially pot!

The number one side effect of illegal drugs?.... The fact that they are ran/controlled by gangs!

Haven't we learned our lessons from prohibition?

Whens the last time you heard of gang-related drive by, or a "drug-deal" gone bad over a case of Budweiser?

Now, I don't smoke pot... honestly I don't, but I know people who do, and let me tell you, I'd rather be around someone who's high on pot, rather than a drunk... who more often or not, are assholes!

Amen EVH! A common sense approach!

OHHH, it's better then that.

A few years ago, maybe they still run the ad, IDK

They had a "anti-drug" ad, and it showed family members that were killed because they got in the way of drug shoot-outs and such. The "moral" of this ad was to say that "see, drugs are evil, look @ the gang violence"

So let me get this straight, drug prohibition enables drug gangs.... sooooo.... lets put the blame on the drug it's self rather than the root cause of it!

I swear, ANYTHING, that the government can ban that makes you feel good (all parties BTW) they'll do! If they could outlaw an orgasm they would!

You watch, soon they'll put warnings on hand lotions and tissues boxes...

"It's against Federal law to use this product in anyway that isn't what it's described for"

A very scientific look @ the effects of drugs...
