No carjackings, no home invasions for drug money.
I know that many of you use pot and that is your decision. I just hate to have it available for kids. I do believe that it starts some with addictive personalities on the path to death and harm to others.
I was born 75 years ago. I know I am old.

unfortunately 'back then' they did have all of the above it was just not as well publicized. heroin was king and many people died in its' acquisition and use. we used to call them gangsters instead of thugs, but they existed. the media today no longer allows us to be blissfully unaware of the depths to which people will sink.
