Hat trick for YPD. Right on.
Youngstown's culture is being impeded. I doubt if they are working people and wonder where the money for drugs is coming from?
GOT ANY IDEAS JAY?

Good work YPD ! Now lets get the drug house busted and shut down.
You know I was wondering just that as I was reading the article Stan...........
"A passenger in a car that was pulled over after police saw it leave a known drug house on East High Street"
If it's a known drug house, why don't they do something about it?
Lol! They'll have to drive to Boardman or Austintown for their drugs now. Oh wait, that is just where you go to buy heroin and crystal meth.
this known drug house is located @ 1014 easthigh on the eastside. this house was raided @ least 6 times in 08 but still it can't be shut down? as a former addict, yes, i got wet here, but a local activist group pulled me out the gutter, got me clean, and now i want to see these pushers locked up!
sadly, this group broke up in '08 due to the fact after 4 years, they were frustrated with tangling not only with these outlaw pushers taking over the block, but the fascist leaders @ city hall who stood by and did nothing to help this group!
so mayor JEDD and his cronies can shut the hell up about crime was down in 08, bullsh-t!!! last i checked, wasn't selling narcotics illegal? i know he had a lot to do with this group, the difference makers calling it a day.
just because they DARED to stand up to these punk leaders and these outlaws, they got labeled as a hate group, and were even called terrorists just because some members were muslims? and jaybird bullied this paper into not publishing editorials or anything on the difference makers.
this is not a damned democracy here, its a monarchy run by a evil king, JEDD williams. he wants us to render unto caesar while anarchy runs the streets! i hope this drug house gets shut down for good!
"Got wet."
You can tell I've never done drugs -- hearing that line was a first.
hey aeparish, its just a slang term for mixing weed, formaldehyde, and pcp together. believe me, this house sold more than crack ok? but i've been clean for a year and i still attend narcotics meetings 2x a month.
i just pray others can come out and get clean too. it breaks my heart to see soooooooo many junkies out there, frequenting these drug houses all over town, especially the eastside in plain view! hey JEDD, what's being done to curb all of the drug related crime here? NOTHING!!!!!!!!!
we've lost the war on drugs here in thugstown! and these leaders, instead of harping on naming the chevy center, purchasing high-ass tickets for pavlik, when this city is influx, planting trees, creating a infrustructure, why not focus on the ever growing drug trade here?
Oh I believe you. I just never heard the term before. I've got family that's been in the same boat -- my dad had his share of alcoholism and some drug use. I grew up with the alcoholism and the drug use came later -- but thankfully he got help and has been sober too. So, with that said -- I don't know you at all, but I am proud of you and anyone else who has turned their lives around after abusing drugs and alcohol. It's not something everyone can do.
"why not focus on the ever growing drug trade here?"
Drugs generate a lot of money. They don't want to collapse the economy of Youngstown. :)
JAY HAS A PLAN !

The issue here seems to be freedom. These people live for the use of drugs and alcohol. Since it is impossible to hold a job while in a drug or acohol stupor society then is obligated to support them. Does this then enslave the rest of of us to keep them in freedom?
Most people who do drugs are looking to escape from problems and trying to make themselves feel better. There are no success stories with alcohol or drug abuse use. It's a trap it's bondage. Many have died over alcohol or drug abuse.
First one without sin cast the first stone!
"Most people who do drugs are looking to escape from problems and trying to make themselves feel better."
As Fred had stated it is all about freedom. Doing drugs relieves them of having to things that the rest of us are forced to do. When drugs and alcohol take their lives are they truly free at last or are they in bondage with satan?
