LivinginKata Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Good. More drugs off the streets. Sure more dealers will come in, but it sends a message. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentine Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 OK but looks like they are just small time dealers which hardly rate a dent in the drug trade. It is long overdue for an actual drug lord to be arrested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireMedic Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 200 pills off the street is only 999,800 away from solving the problem in Kathu. Good start boys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamNoone88 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 The bust hardly does justice to the headline. Nonetheless, any drug bust is a good bust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuddy Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Seems to me to be quite a bit of drugs there on the table. If I wasn't so skeptical I would say well done to the cops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clockman Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Tip of a massive problem! Never see anybody of importance arrested. Just the pawns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The manic Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Please stop reporting this nonsense. It was less than four ounces. About enough for a good student party. The war on drugs is a war on the people, their freedom of thought and a war on the weaker social groups. Just a hangover from that criminal fraud Nixon.

steelepulse Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Where is the photo of the "dealers"? Seems they always show whoever they caught, unless it's one of their own or someone of "influence". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing matters. Lets just complain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peddling poison expresses "freedom of thought", and makes for a "good party"? Right. Time you grew up and tried living in the real world ace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bignose Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Some of you people have been here too long, your cynical indifference has become all too wearing. Yes it would be fantastic to see the kingpins and drug lords put away for ever, that may or may not ever happen, but every single arrest and seizure of drugs is a good thing. Over the few short years I have been in this country it is more than obvious there are many issues to deal with, there are many aspects of society we want changed so we are justified in complaining about them. But an arrest and seizure of category 1 drugs is not something to whinge and bleat about, lets appreciate that this was a success and one (very small) step along a very rocky road. I may be a tad too optimistic, but the change in the attitude of the police and some levels of government over the last few months (in my honest opinion) is both heartening and very, very welcome. The changes we want will take time but we now have a government with the foresight and will to make it happen. Lets enjoy the small victories and show some patience for the big ones!

Actually, I think the war on drugs started before Nixon. Long before he was the prez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
