He’s just a bait fish in a big ocean. Find out who the source was for the lortabs. Then work your way up to the sharks.

There are plenty of doctors overprescibing lortabs and zanex locally. The doctors know medicare, welfare, obamacare, and those fortunate to have health insurance can be billed for more pills than their patients actually need. There is very little oversight or accountability from the AMA or JAMA. The patients feels good and makes money on what they don’t need. The doctor gets a new set of golf clubs.

This is how it works:
The big fish has too pills. He gives them to the little fish to sell for a percentage and to keep quiet if he is caught. He certainly isn’t going to snitch.

At 429SCJ…I agree 100% with u I’ve always said that if we put the people that were in jail / prison in the military instead of jail maybe this would deter most them from a life of crime…and we would not be paying tax dollars (Approx.$3500) a month for them to set in jail and watch tv, when they could be severing this great country of ours

Even though I do not find Mayor McCall, to be a fireball of effectiveness, I do not feel that it is right to blame him, for Mr Lett’s drug dealing. These are hard times, that are going to only get worse. I still belive that a 6 year tour of military service would, be of benefit to people in Mr Lett’s situation. Who knows he might make us and himself proud. 429SCJ for the American Foreign Legion.

17!!! lLook at the young mans picture. Everyone points the blame at anyone but themselves. We as a society are the ones responsible for these kind of problems! We make excuses and say what a waste; Yes what awaste…..is exactly right. Instead of parents that suffer from poverty, reaching out to their own children,they make excuses and blame goverment or whoever presents them an out from accountibilty. It is our duty as parents and as a society to raise our children to respect life and its struggles….no matter the cost! Prisons are overrun by young men who arent “bad” people, they are just young men who had no guidance or direction. Take a look at that young mans picture..its not the face of a BAD guy, its the face of another casualty of a society’s neglect! I do not condone his actions….however i understand his position and unfortunate methods of his so-called survival! Obviously the young man was conditioned at ayoung age that life on the streets was his anwser, and for those blaming the municipal goverment such as the mayor, why dont you stand up for humanity and go to the counsel meetings, the county commisoners and congress.lobby and fight to stop these young men wasting their lives and of others! Saving and preserving a persons well being and restoring some dignity to ones self-worth is worth a fight……..for us ALL. Or is it just to hard for some? I pray this kid finds God and realizes that life has meaning and a purpose for all those who are willing to fight its battles and endure its struggles…and i hope that he one day finds himself before he self destructs.

And to all of you saying, free manman, and that we seem to have a lot of rats going around. I hope all of you crack dealers get set up, every last one of you. You are the ones making this world a bad and scary place to live in. there are plenty of ways to get jobs, if i can do it you can do it. But you have to at least put “effort” in to get a job, instead of walking in a job interview with you pants around you ankles with all of your underwear showing. You kids watch these rap videos and all they talk about is selling crack and getting money from doing illegal things. Where do you think these people are getting all of there motivation from, its all over b.e.t. I know for a fact that one of man mans brothers were selling crack to a lady whos liver was swollen up and she was dying from it and they still were selling her crack. Thats murder if you ask me.

I am a witness to the things this young kid does. I was friends with his brother for many years whom one of his three brothers did work and try to do right. the boy had asked me to give him a ride to meet up and leave with his girl friend at the wal-mart in brewton, innocent enough right? wrong. we were pulled over for a busted head light, the police upon search of my vehicle found the big bag of crack under my truck seat that i was totally un-aware of. I was just trying to put a little extra gas in my truck and help a friends little brother out and that is how he re-pays me. If i would of known he had crack in his possession I would have never let him step foot in my truck. And the crazy thing is, his mother whom he lives with , condones all this behavior. Good thing this kid is off the street before the streets end up taking his life. I do not have high hopes for this guy, but you never know. This kid needs to find jesus, he is the only one who can save him now.

I was a witness at Whataburger in Century last Friday , as a man & his son came out the door. There were four juvenile boys standing on the sidewalk as he came out , he glanced at them as he stepped off the sidewalk. One of the boys , said to him what you lookin at?? The man stopped and said excuse me? And the boy went off cussing and yelling at the man. The police was called and all the boys ran( big talkers) into the woods in the back. The police did catch them , and they are not to go back onto Whataburger property. That’s what I’m saying…if the parents were more involved with their children this would not have happened. No parental supervision turns your children into THUG want a be’s. Teach your children right from wrong….if you learned it yourself. If you don’t teach your children respect , they will never be anything positive.

REGARDING:
“try and help these young men get a job”

Try to help them get a job? Good idea.

How to do it? Help them become the kind of person people would want to hire.

What kind of person would you like to hire? Well mannered. Literate. Numerate. Competent. Hard working. Clean. Honest. Dependable. Dedicated.

Maybe other potential employers want the same things.

Job openings DO exist and WILL come open in the future as well. It does not matter, though, if the job seeker is unacceptable.

We have free — to the student — public education. It can and does teach all those qualities listed above. It will even teach trades to those who are willing to learn.

Willing to learn and to apply what they are taught – - – that’s the problem. It’s especially a problem where people’s parents, peers and mentors tell them not to listen to the teachers, don’t put on airs, and that all the jobs are going to the Mexicans and Vietnamese and every minority but them.

Or we COULD just decide it’s all the mayor’s fault.

David for personal value
