Dead case
How come he get bail doh?..
I support the legalization of marijuana in order to get rid of the criminal element it supports.
Having said that, this so called “Business man” should get at lease 20 years. He is not going to put himself in harms way to sell this junk on the streets, he is going to recruit poor young boys, flash money in their face and give the guns to go out there to make him money by any means. It’s people like him that should be the focus of law inforcement. But all the police want to focus on are the young boys. But if they stop people like this, those young boys would be some where roasting breadfruit.
Rudeboy i know this man and i can tellu he dont recuit no young boys and put guns in their hand..
If not for the lil herb trade many familes would stave about here..
