I watched a young woman come to the point of death because of drugs…meth being her drug of choice..we talked many times about the hold that meth has on you and…she knows she may die the next time she uses it but she doesn’t care…its that high she wants…no matter the cost. …she is a beautiful woman but has damaged her body beyond repair. I love that sweetness within her and pray she will find her peace with God….she has so much to give in goodness. I haven’t had contact with her in several months…but my love and prayers still fills my heart with hope…ans where there is hope…there is God.

A year ago, I was in court for this. I started hanging with the wrong group of people and for four months did not know if I was coming or going. I am now away from the area and a year clean. I am working a full time job and with the love of my life. I thank God everyday for the cops showing up at my door that morning. If it would not have happened, I dont know where I would be. I regret my choices all the time, but I dont look back. I onky look foward and pray for these people. I hope this is a wake up call for them, but the sad thing is, they have to want to get help and they have to want to get better.

I truly hope that all of these people get the help they so desperatly need…I am proof that prison is not a bad thing…I was in the first bust they had..I just got out on friday and it is the best thing that could of ever happened to me it saved my life… I am keeping their children in my prayers…… to all of their children reading this please understand that addiction is serious and i hope when all of this is said and done you have your parent back and they be a positive part of you life and they are able to over come this… the thing i say everyday to myself is I do not have to let my past determine my future…I made mistakes as well as did they and I hope they take this time to find themselves and get the help they need and sometimes that takes us a little while….God saves the ones He loves… for me prison was Him saving me from my self and the drugs..

Im glad to see it all happen. Yes I know they all have families however, I know a few of them and their just trash. These people have choices and they have made them. Now deal with the consequences. Every one of them is lazy and don’t want to work. I had one of them ride to work with me to help on a weekend to put a little cash in their pocket running a concrete pump and all the kid did was stand around. Hell, he got in the truck drunk with a beer. I was disgusted. And in response to one of the responses above, I know your dad may have been a good guy at one time, but he didn’t get caught up with the wrong people, HE WAS THE ONE MAKING IT SO HE INFLUENCED THEM, boo hoo.
Im so scared of the world I will live in when im ready to retire.Every generation has said it before but this is different. When corporal punishment was taken out of the school system, the world started going to crap. Things that were once taboo are now cool. There are no more values, morals, or character in people anymore. Technology and the govt. are dumbing us down. The game consoles, myface, and spacebook are making us stupid and antisocial. Im afraid my kids may melt if the go outside. Then you have DCF and the Feds taking away our freedoms little by little until eventually we’ll look around and they’ll be gone. They have raped and perverted the constitution to what suits them for control over us. Everyone takes the news as gospel yet they receive their info from the govt. how ridiculous. And these arrests are just a product of this ugly world we live in. Most of these people come from good upbringings yet look at them now. If you met them in a grocery would you have anything in common with them? And if you know them look at their appearance as compared to 4-5 years ago. Remarkable. This country used to be so great but it has changed greatly. I used to be proud to be an American but not anymore. You may say get out, well, if I had the means to I would. I blame those who came here to exploit this nation instead of embracing it. These arrests are just the product of our once great place to live.

Yes names of all aren’t in here.meth is a dangerous drug period!!! Someone making it and messes up can blow your whole neighborhood up.if marijuana was legal the crimes and harder drug use would go down. Vote for legalization of marijuana … Drugs kill/ alcohol kills / pills kill !!! Vote for free the weed and live in harmony

And yet the one methlab on Pineville rd smokes on. Ive been calling for ten years about the odor from that place. The kids reek of it. Yet it goes on. Strange.

Well, at least they got a few more off the streets and into the jail to become additional burdens to society.

CONSIDERING:
“This story is just as heartbreaking as The Boston and Texas stories to me! ”

Maybe to you, but to me, the ones in Boston and Texas were trying to help others or minding their own lawful business.
These were charged with manufacturing mind altering poison and breaking the law.
If any were falsely arrested, they are deserving of pity.
That the others took this path is sad, but not as sad as being randomly slaughtered.

David for better people

I think in life people make their own choices. I am sure no one forced these people to do anything that they didn’t want to do. Whether they were getting high and caught up by association or selling it/making it, it was still their choice. My brother is up there and I think that this arrest may be the best thing for him. I hope this is a wake up call for him. I have to say it shocked me to see him involved in something like this. I never would have thought this in a million years. I am proud of the DEA for their hard work in getting these guys busted and hopefully off the streets for good.
