Good job Rankin S.O. Thank you for all you do
Was this young lad another illegal?
@ 8:17am
They didn't do sh*t, they just removed a small time dealer out of the way, so a white fella can keep on cooking it up in the trailer parks of Rankin County
When's the last time you seen Bailey do a major bust on a white dealer in Rankin? NEVER
So they just did one of the good ol' boys a favor a removed the competition that meth, coke, crack and weed will keep on rolling into Rankin.
Open your eyes people.
This poor fellow. He came to this country illegally...oops, undocumented to work hard for a better life, but white privilege and the bigotry of the alt-right forced him to seek an alternative to provide for his family back home, so he was FORCED to resort to drug running, and it's all the fault of white people and Donald Trump. #NotMyPresident #ImALittleSnowflake #WAAAAAAAHHHHH!
Looks like our LEOs have finally learned the valuable lesson of not publicizing the cash haul. Very smart. No need to disclose and make your agency a target.
Oh, NO. Where am I going to fill my pipe now? He always had the smoothest stuff. I always liked doing a few totes with a little rum & coke while watching the celestial bodies move in the sky... Look toward the west after sunset tonight & you will see the Moon, Venus, & Mars lined up together. Just ponder the vastness of space. WOW, Man it is very spiritual. GOD in his glory made a glorious celestial clock. Also, a total solar eclipse will happen in August. Once in a lifetime event. Do you know the sun doesn't come up, but the earth rotates into the sun to make it appear that way. Far out.
Guess I need to move to California, Arkansas, Colorado or Utah where the cotton fields are high & the living is easy...
@8:55 AM latest term of the PC leftists is "unauthorized immigrant".
8:55; Regardless of your pitiful opinion of law enforcement, this sends yet another message to the guys who sit somewhere charting routes on maps and highlighting sanctuary cities. Reckon?
@8:55....you do realize that this fella was trafficking to the east right? These drugs were destine to probably ATL.
Just wait until the good folks start paying double for their dope. They are going to get it one way or another.
8:55, I'm grateful that they're doing SOMETHING. One of the evils of the Drug Trade, is that it gives power to FOREIGN interests, who corrupt our various governments (all the way to the top, until VERY recently).
YES! I prefer home-grown "operators" to the foreign ones. We all know that the Gold Coast never really shut down (it just switched merchandise, sent some of its sons to law school, sent some of its sons (and Tonyas) into politics, and became more polished). We all it's been like that 'Copperhead Road' song, for GENERATIONS, over there. We all know where most of Rankin County's 'fine families' got the capital to start their businesses. But anyone with half a brain, knows they're vastly preferable to what's coming across our Southern Border.
Personally I'm GLAD that Rankin County's unofficial Mafia is so powerful, so insular, so scary, and so well-connected, that even Westboro Baptist Church was afraid to go there, to picket a military funeral.
Sure he wasn't lost and meaning to deliver the drugs to Eastover? Donna Ladd swears there are major drug dealing white people living there getting rich of Jackson's drug addict population.
9:38 if you're trying to be funny, it ain't working! May I suggest a little Cheech and Chong to help you with your "head" impersonation.
Thanks for prosecuting a victimless crime and enriching yourselves.
I thought having to spend $70+ and a day off from work every time I get a sinus infection so a Dr. could write a Rx for a decongestant was going to cure the meth problem in our state.
another profile arrest
Hillary would say "What difference does it make?"
Lots. Try and criticize the arrest when your child, or wife, or friend, gets killed by a meth-head or pot-head driving under the influence.
Good Job! Keep it up.
@11:31 - those are just doctors over there silly
@10:55am
Well at least you are keeping it real! Can't be mad at you for that - game recognizes game ;-)
8:55--Apparently you have some inside knowledge of a "white fella...cooking it up in the trailer parks of Rankin County". When was the last time you informed Rankin County law enforcement of names and/or such locations? My guess is NEVER. If you have information and if you are not sharing it with the proper authorities...then YOU are part of the problem.
My thanks to Sheriff Bailey and his team of law enforcement officers!
Legalize it and you won't have sewer rats running up and down I-20 hauling pounds of drugs. Duh!
Victimless crimes? Tell that to the many victims of industrial 'accidents'. Tell that to the families of young suicide victims who got high, over-dosed and thought that was the good ticket out of the bad parade.
Meth and weed ain't a Shaeffer Light after work.
You're displaying your ignorance, 4:09. Far more people die as a result of alcohol, and it would be even worse if we maintained prohibition of that substance. It didn't work then and it doesn't work now. The death and suffering associated with the drug war, here and in other countries, are far higher than the harms imposed on individuals themselves who choose to use the substances.
Some day in the future all drugs will be legal. Before all of you druggies start celebrating you need to think what happens to a person when they can freely use any drug they choose.
8:08; Your argument is a fallacy. Yours is a lost cause if you are basing your argument for legal drugs on the fact that alcohol causes more deaths. But you knew that. According to a current Morgan and Morgan ad, more people die as a result of hospital negligence than the other three leading causes put together. You sure you don't want to use that in your argument too?
You are plumb damned crazy if you believe heroine, crack and meth ought to be street legal. Plumb damned crazy.
We "prescribe" amphetamine to a huge population of kids (and adults)
Just because something is prescribed by a doctor doesn't make it any better.
We processed heroine and gave it to our troops in Vietnam (Air America)
heroine, cocaine and amphetamines were regularly used by the population during a time of lowered crime
85% of crime is relative to drugs being illegal.
some people are irresponsible, some are not. making something legal or illegal doesn't change that. if you can't responsibly snort cocaine, take adderall, drink alcohol, etc then you should bear the responsibility of not being able to... not everyone else
I don't drink alcohol, or do any drugs except for the couple prescribed by my physician. I also don't think drugs being illegal has helped society, in any way.
So....to summarize: Heroin, crack and meth ought to be made street legal by the Mississippi legislature. And this is based on the fact that 8:50 doesn't drink alcohol and he thinks certain drugs being illegal has not helped society.
Sounds reasonable to me. Watch for bills from both houses to pass next week.
