There was a big, and I mean BIG drug bust this afternoon in the next town over, and one town north. Pounds and pounds of cocaine, thousands of dollars in real money found, and at least one, if not two people arrested. So, besides the point that this happens all over the country, there was one little detail that I thought...hmmm...
The guy who was involved was black! Now, I'm not dissing him because he's black. Heaven knows there are plenty of white drug dealers out there. The "hmmm" part comes in when you learn that he rented two houses, both valued over $500,000. Now this is a very, VERY white area. And a young, single, black guy RENTS the houses? And no one thought that might be suspicious? At least one of the houses is for sale, so perhaps the fact that the owners would at least get some money out of this bad economy, they didn't think about how strange the whole scenario seemed to be.
I guess everyone else just wanted to be good neighbors, and not make a fuss, and since there were no wild parties, etc, they were happy. Wonder what his rental agreement said as far as employment, references, etc. etc.
Hmmmmm...
