I work and these people work selling drugs. They need to get a real job, or they'll go to jail and make working people pay for them. Have a roof over their head and food. Duh!

6000 DOLLAR BAIL AND HE HAD AN OUNCE OF CRACK PLUS A BUNCH OF OTHER CHIT??? His bail should be waaaay higher. Something is WRONG!

Guy, what's wrong is that the legal system thinks its job is protecting criminals and defense lawyers. Both benefit from career criminals and low bails and both have destroyed civilized society in this country.

I guess they don't want to put a high bail on them because they know they will never make bail, and then the city/county will have to house them and pay for their stay. If they let them out on a low bail they can rearrest them quicker when they go right back to dealing again. I always thought the idea was to get drugs off the street, and KEEP drugs off the street though. Obviously that is not the main focus in Decatur.

Wouldn't you want your daughter to be wih something like that ~ what a piece of white trash...

She be a fine upstanding white southern girl bahahahahaha , I am beginning to think there are not any self respecting white women left , they all want trash like this and sell their sell to get to be with them , pretty sickening what the world has come to

So is the only way a white woman can be self respecting is to be with a white man? Or are you saying that their life style isn't quite up to par? So the lawyer I saw driving a new Jaguar at he store, sitting in his car smoking cracke off a soda can, would you consider him white trash too? Or the pastor that just killed his wife, is he white trash? Be specific, please!!!

No matter how high the bail is set, that's mostly pockedt chhanbe to these dealers. I'll bet he was out of the street the following day. He has connections to cover him in cases like this. These dealers do not work alone. Look at the times the police coniscated drugs , guns and money. for these dealers. One case it took 2officer s a week to count the money.

A lot of if might have been kids' school lunch money.
