wants drugs out of America.... posted on Thursday, April 12th, 2007 at 1:24 pm
Ok while I don't like paying taxes for prisons...I don't feel they are doing a good job at teaching these druggies anything.I'm willing to pay more in taxes if it will get all the drugs out of America. Our children are dying. Do you hear me? THEY ARE DYING!!! We need to get our heads out of the sand and stand up people. CALL 911 when you see your neighbors having company @ night - you know the pull up-honk or flash headlights-or if you smell something "odd".Don't sit behind your little wooden framed houses- stand up for yourself, your family and your city! People complain that he PD doesn't do their jobs-well how can they if you sit back and ENABLE these drug dealers and drugs users? Yes- that is what you are doing-if you KNOW they are doing something wrong-and you don't report them-you are an enabler! I don't allow my children to go to other kids' homes unless I know for a fact that the parents are upstanding people.**Sorry just had to blow off some steam** again- call 911 it's super easy! Heck if you don't want anyone to know you called in on them- call the non emerency number and rat on them. if you don't stand up for yourselves now- please don't come crying next time someone dies from drugs!
