    They haven’t given up on drugs as yet. Drugs and Guns are two major battle we face in this country and I don’t think it will stop any time soon. Time enough the government bring new ways to curb these crimes

    When old people use to warn us of “not being jealous of what people have because you don’t know where or how they got it”.
    This right here is a text book example of such a saying.
    One would have thought that such a surname which opens doors, would not be involved in such!!
    Greed and the love of money!!! Man’s downfall.

      Unruly One you took tray straight from my mind. Wait and see what will happen. The Dimiuth married into the Hadeeds. Why would people embarass their families for petty cash? Asking for a friend
