ReplyDeleteSome statements are so stupid that they don't dignify an articulated response.

DeleteThe DEA stands for truth just as much as the War-On-Drugs stands for winning :-(
Delete@2:00 But you felt the need to comment..GTFOH. It was a sarcasm, as to how do they estimate these price figures?
DeleteWar on Drugs a failure
DeleteThe topic is smuggling weed and this idiot comes up with a stupid comment.
DeleteCanada
Delete8:57 "topic" is: capturing these loads of grifa and doing some arrests during christmass holidays, BP at work, no DEA, but you can make the topic whatever you want sugar...
DeleteWho ever rammed the B.P. Will be punished.
ReplyDeleteOne other thing...that truck is red not white only white truck is bp. Haha yes they are the ones that reloaded it for themselves
ReplyDeleteJesus Willis, it is the top left pic in a field as the article states
DeleteWake up Willis!
DeleteI thought no one really trafficked in large amounts of Mexican crap weed anymore?
ReplyDeleteSame here, somebody with knowledge please explain
DeleteI'd like to know why they did this, too. With all the good weed legal in so many US states now, why take the risk to bring bulky, low profit weed across the border when so much more can be made in smaller packages with heroin, fentanyl, cocaine?
DeleteIt's still ilegal in Texas lot of people still smoke Reggie down here wouldn't surprise anybody from Texas this is day to day In the South Texas border
DeleteI'd bet it was for fun. Errrbody is on that good good everwhere. Yo Gotti even made a song about it 😄
DeleteShoot to kill.
ReplyDeleteIn theory yes but those smugglers move quick .
Deletethis is absurd, while bp risks their life busting low quality mota we grow acres of sinsemilla on the hills of colorado without an issue or hiding
ReplyDelete10:55 your Colorado crap is for richer more distinguished clientele, these cheap stinking loads for the masses would be paying no taxes, the way grifa thing is supposed to work.
