Well duh, most drugs are imported via water, just like Moroccan hash is in Spain.

This thread makes some good points. But my question is at what point along the road of history will we look back and realize the board shifts in clockwork motion and the past returns as the forcast of the future. Jews had no internet. The whispers started in the temple and we know where that story can lead but back to today while WE live the daily headlines it will be in our best intrist to remeber not only natzi Germany but all the peices that played there part to take it there. We are playing the same game. And to the end the streets hold the true power but the concsept of power.... Absoulte power has but one end and we will fight to defend every inch. Too bad the war today is fought in your heads.. And the streets cry no more.

So, are you saying that gangs only exist in large metropolitan areas?
Trust me they don't We have had gang problems here for quite some time now.
There was a 60 minute or 20/20 show about the gang violence in Little Rock a few years back.

I was a senior in high school and delt with gang shit at my school daily. alot of the people in that film went to my school or were from that neighborhood.
it's a shame really. that neighboorhood used to be one of the most beautiful in little rock in the 50's. now it's total shit.

Evictions, fake cops raise questions about Arkansas curfew
Much is being made of a virtual declaration of martial law in a small town in Arkansas -- and of the ACLU's predictable, and commendable, objection to the same. Largely unnoticed, though, is the troubling fact that the "state of emergency" may create an opportunity for local criminals.
Invoking an ordinance relating to civil emergencies in response to a surge of violent crime in parts of the town, Mayor James Valley of Helena-West Helena, Arkansas, imposed an all-day curfew, with "[n]o loitering, standing or 'hanging-out'” permitted.
Less well-covered is the fact that the text of the order, available at Mayor Valley's blog, also allows for forcible evictions of people from homes where crimes have been reported.
The Code Enforcement Department has been directed to pursue Nuisance Abatement (Evictions) for those persons residing in homes, in the affected areas, where at least three (3) criminal violations have occurred within the most recent time period allowed to be considered by law.
People aren't just being driven from the streets -- they're also being tossed from their dwellings as local officials suspend fundamental rights in the name of law and order.
Local police are responsible for enforcing the curfew, of course. The Associated Press reported, "Thursday night, 18 to 20 police officers carrying M-16 rifles, shotguns and night-vision scopes patrolled the "curfew zone." They arrested about eight people and confiscated drugs and loaded weapons."
That's disturbing news all by itself. The cops have been given carte blanche to run roughshod over an already troubled neighborhood -- even angels would have difficulty wielding such power without trampling people's rights, and police are people, not angels.
But there's reason to wonder if some of the uniformed enforcers wandering the streets of that unfortunate community are actually opportunists. Just last month, The Daily World, the local newspaper, warned that uniforms had been stolen during a break-in at an officer's home.
“Unless you know who the person is it is a good idea to find out who’s outside before opening your door to just anyone,” said Col. Fred Fielder of the Helena-West Helena Police Department.
A state of emergency that empowers police is quite an opportunity for anybody nervy enough to simply pretend to be a police officer. It's bad enough to open your door to a government official who wants to force you from your home. It's worse to open your door and discover that those officials you have good reason to fear have simply handed a weapon to the freelance thugs.

So what was that shit about a terror alet in Texas? I saw the year was a tad bit aways from 2009, I don't understand why that was put on here.I live in Little Rock and haven't herd anything about this mock martial law,Fuckin crazy.Maybe there not talkin about it so like someone said earlier,people won't riot.I know we got some bad towns here but pigs patroling naiborhoods with night vision goggles and assalt rifes,what the fuck.I'm not sure If I can think of a better way to stop the violence,but maybe they should have steped up the police numbers in that area first.
