    Nope, these drug dealer types are drug dealers. And one of the named drug dealers has been on the cop’s radar for many years for drug and other stupid behaviours.

    I just wonder if these drug dealers pay income tax on revenue generated from their drug dealing activities. If anything, these drug dealers should at least pay taxes on drug deals, or, have their assets seized if they have any; generally these types of drug dealers live day by day; sell some weed to a kid, pay for something to eat, maybe pay some rent; generally they still live at home with parents. A drug dealer lifestyle is actually quite boring and dirty.

    These drug dealers are only a small sample of the other drug dealers that continue to drug dealing across this city.

    Another fact is these drug dealers likely deal drugs to children. That’s the typical drug dealer style at the street scumbag level of drug dealing in this city.

    The cops could probably explain better the role of drug dealers.

    I am most wonderful keeping an eye on drug dealers dealing drugs to children in this city.

    Cops are also most wonderful, almost as wonderful as Mr. Wonderful.
