I lived in the Jackson Area awhile now. Has anyone ever noticed that JPD never, ever does a major local drug bust. Each section of town has a major dealer. Presidential Hills, Bailey Ave, ect. Been the same guys for years. Yet no one ever gets arrested. Now HCSO is doing their work. Good for them.
Wasting time on weed something that's about to be legalized?? Man, do some real work like find a missing child and do something about the different murders that appear on the news EVERYDAY and NIGHT!! Get a real job!!
I am sure that because this is a black owned business that the white man planted those drugs on the young men, leave our black men alone, they are working hard trying to support their families . This blog is very racist
Crack = bad
Powder coke and mary jane = who cares
Lessee: Black cops bust black men in a black area of a black town, and....it's all a white plot?
OK
Where's the entrepreneurial spirit? These guys are simply today's alternative commerce. All this money will be rolled back into the local economy.
This is a joke. Do you have any idea how much dope is in that area? There's probably a hundred pounds within a hundred feet of that store. All ready to sell. The highschool kids definitely know it. It's easier for a 16 - 21 year old to get a sack of weed in Jackson than a six pack of beer. Hell, I used to buy from them myself. But nowadays, your kids at Ole Miss seem to be supplying our area with some of the high quality medical grade stuff. What we should be alarmed about, is that the drugs in this bust, and most of the drugs from that area, came from cartels.
And the person above who said who cares about powder cocaine and weed doesn't have much experience with cocaine. Weed is one thing. Cocaine is a whole different picture. Cocaine kills. Please don't act like they are one in the same.
"He (Picou) said area residents alerted the sheriff's office through the use of social media."
This sound like some sinister white plot, just neighbors feed up with this garbage going on in their front yards.
Big Daddy - I've never heard the phrase "cocaine whore" or "cocaine house". Cocaine destroys people and families, but crack destroys whole neighborhoods.
Natasha G - The current sheriff, who directs these deputies, is also black - is he part of the white man's nefarious plot too?
And 12:15 am - what child is missing in Homds County?
And "today's alternative commerce" - does that mean the dealers were qaccepting bitcoins? :-)
"Homds" should be Hinds - sorry I'm typing while eating lunch
Must be a price decline going on if 25 lbs = $6200. That only 15.50 an ohzee.
Another waste of money and resources marijuana bust legalize,tax and regulate stop the Black-market . Demand and supply is only increasing these stupid tactics do not work ,haven't worked and never will work.
Tell you what...we will legalize all dope but we will stop all welfare....hows that for a fair trade.
$15.50 an oz LOL!!!!! or a quarter for $3.87 you'll go broke taxing this weed!
