Sorry but I'll bet over half of the arrested are from Mexico and or South America and are not legal citizens.

Congratulations to you Sheriff Holland! Great work by you and your team. Round em up and ride em out...to prison.

[Keith former Gun-bunny]

Ouch, addicts will have to find new dealers. No fear, they are out there.

[Ottonian]

Thank you Shefirr Holland and team, for getting this scum off our streets and out of our neighborhoods!!!!

[Ottonian]

Too early in the morning for spelling....Sheriff Holland

Good job Sheriff Holland.Its sad to think that next week they will be out on bond recovering their losses for this week.

[drug dealer]

Thanks Sheriff Holland.
You didn't catch me or find my stash. You made the stuff I'm holding worth more and it'll be even easier to sell than normal, since you locked up several of my competitors. The increased prices and reduced supplies will obviously increase crimes committed by addicts desperate to get their fixes. I surely don't care that you'll be dealing with more robberies and break ins, but I'd think that kind of thing would bother a police officer. I guess it's more important to you that you're able regulate the body chemistry of your citizens than it is to protect them or to prevent crime.
If you guys would legalize drugs and treat addiction as a medical problem rather than a legal problem, it would put me out of business instantly.
I'm glad American lawmakers and police don't believe in freedom or capitalism, because you keep my profits high.
Thanks again and keep up the excellent work!

You are a useless piece of garbage.

Don't bet on it. Saw some on the TV news last night and they are defintely not Mexican.

Yo, fruitcake! It's not up to the sheriff or any of the local law enforcement to "legalize" drugs. That's the job of the legislature. You've addressed your rant to the wrong person. As usual, some troll who's misrepresenting who he is is trying to get things stirred up. If you were a drug dealer, you're either the dumbest one on the planet, or you're a troll, because your ISP number is traceable and your fat azz can be found and arrested. How ya like them apples??

The ones I saw on tv looked to be white so don't assume anything. No race is immune to crime.

For the record marijuana is not a narcotic.

Ever heard the old adage about people in glass houses throwing stones?
From my original post:
"I'm glad American lawmakers and police don't believe in freedom or capitalism, because you keep my profits high."
"Lawmakers" would imply people who make the laws. You know, the legislature.
I agree with you that the police are only part of the problem.
Maybe more of the same will finally work this time and there will no longer be a drug problem in Macon county. I doubt it.
If more of the same doesn't work, hopefully the Sheriff and other police involved in this sting will re-evaluate their ideas and maybe try something new.

If you have any better ideas, I'm sure Sheriff Holland would love to hear them. The problem is, and as a "drug dealer" you know this, is cutting off the supply into the country, which is probably nowhere near Macon County. Rounding up the petty dealers, such as you say you are, don't "fix" the problem, they just make buying drugs more difficult. Which is at least a start. Actually, if the users would find another way to get their "highs" then you guys would be out of business anyway.

Wiley, This person is definitely a troll. His ISP gives him away every time. He's a troll or has been partaking in his own product and burned what few brain cells he had up! If the authorities are monitoring these threads he may just find himself in heap big trouble.

He is the Kitty Hawk Jackass.

Hope this saves more lives than it destroys.

My teenage daughter was almost lost to meth last fall, but we caught it early and were able to get her some treatment and she has been clean ever since. I can't imagine how it would have destroyed her life to have had a conviction on her record, but I can sure imagine what it would be like to watch her die slowly and have to suffer with that for the rest of my life.

Keep the focus on the hard stuff and get enough evidence to get the job done right the first time.

Keep up the good work Sheriff Holland!

you have been a blessing to our community.
