Only one guy from Chester County, yet the case is being prosecuted there. Wouldn't be surprised if the proportion of the alleged activity follwed a similar pattern. Talk about your forum shopping. Be afraid. Be very afraid.— fillyfan- This drug is an absolute scurge on society. Highly addictive and far worse than crack. Ask any law enfrocement officer who has dealt with users. And with the "new meth" formula rampant in the midwest, it's easier to make now more than ever. Even the bikers and drug lords won't be able to compete since the ingredient list has shrunk. You don't even need anhydrous ammonia to manufacture the new meth. It can be made in hours rather than days. Anybody considering meth use should take note it will be the last decision you'll ever make, because there are no decisions once you're hooked. You'll become a toothless low-life slave-thief piece of trash who will ruin the lives of anyone who cares for or depends on you. It's selfish and every last person who's on it wishes they weren't. A truly horrible slow death.— joebob59
- Couldn't agree more with joebob59!— jeanmarie
- Meth Sucks,all those nasty chemicals,It rots your teeth and everything else!It was fun back in the day.I only know one person that does this lame drug anymore!!!!!— 420grow
- The FEDs need to get involved in the rest of the Murder and Crime Rates in "Killadelphia". They need to send "Teflon Ed" a "Target Letter" and investigate "The Rendell Murders". He's betrayed sacred public trust by shorting public safety to pay for his "No Bid" contracts and over$60 Million in "Inappropriate" Contracts(according to the State Auditor General, Jack Wagner)to his law firm, campaign contributors and "friends". We've Bled enough and Buried enough of our dead FOR YEARS to line his pockets. He get $250,000. per year from his law firm! Ladies and Gentilmen ...which is stronger...The Federal Criminal Justice System or Corrupted and Content Philadelphia? The President's Comment Line is 1-202-456-1111. The U.S. Attorney's Office in "Killadelphia" is 215-861-8200. State Parolees are responsible for our Murders and Crime Rates...Look at all news articles...like the PIAZZA MURDERS and Joe Frazier's Kin...the triggermen and Mastermind are State Parolees! The Mayor, City Council, State Legislature and State Attorney General (Tom Corbett) were all told, in writing, with evidence, OVER 18 MONTHS AGO AND THEY HAVE ALL DONE...NOTHING! 2,000 Inmates per month are being pushed back into our neighborhoods. State Parole Violators are NOT being sent back to prison for PAROLE VIOLATIONS. They are even being kept "on the street" when they are arrested and charged with NEW CRIMES! For every 1 State Parolee crime that makes the papers...over 100 don't. State Parole Board Chairman, Catherine McVey has repeatedly refused to provide State Auditors with requested information on Philadelphia PAROLE Agent Caseloads, which are over double that of other states and double the recommended Maximum…to hide her and her Boss’ crimes (Civil Rights Violations,Involuntary Manslaughter,etc). The frequency of STATE PAROLEE MURDERS is increasing...The next "Newswothy" State Parolee Murder is very certain and VERY SOON. Please make some calls...the life and family you save may well be your own.— John Law
- If it wasn`t for the meth dealers no work would get done. You can only drink so much coffee. Meth puts pep in your step and it should be mandatory in the work area. These guys got work done they could put together a custom Harley together in two hours that's what I call hustle.— ANDY1974
