LIE is the "Heroin Highway"


From the Times Ledger:

District Attorney Richard Brown coined yet another unflattering nickname for a Queens thoroughfare Friday morning when he announced the results of a massive drug bust involving suspected dealers in the borough and well-to-do customers in Suffolk and Nassau counties.

Queens Boulevard’s is already known as the “Boulevard of Death,” but the DA’s office and the NYPD charged 12 individuals with selling hard drugs to hundreds of Long Islanders who used the “Heroin Highway,” or the Long Island Expressway, to get their fix in the borough.

“The main defendants are accused of operating as a tightly knit ring that catered almost exclusively to drug buyers from the eastern end of Long Island, virtually turning the Long Island Expressway into the ‘Heroin Highway,’” Brown said at his office in Kew Gardens.

The users in upper-middle-class towns like Kings Park and Smithtown would drive the hour into the Ridgewood area to buy heroin at nearly half of what they would pay in Long Island.

A sleeve of heroin containing 100 individual packets could run from $1,000 or $1,500 on the island, but the young suburbanites would meet in hotels, diners, fast food restaurants or even 99 cent stores in Queens to get the same product for $400 to $800.

The alleged ringleader, Jermel Broadhurst, 30, of 31-31 29th St. in Astoria was slapped with a slew of charges, including operating as a major trafficker. If convicted he could face up to life in prison.

Other Queens residents who were collared by the NYPD included Marcos Feliciano, 47, of 169 Beach 60th St. in Far Rockaway and Chelene Nelson, 24, of 31-31 29th St. in Astoria.

I could go ON and ON and on about this war on drugs BULLSHIT.

Puerto Ricans sell heroin. Rich long island spoiled brat Irish/Italian people come to QUeen/Brooklyn to get their shit, the roxycontins arent cutting any more.

Heroin is getting so bad in New Jersey and Long Island there was a documentary with Al Roker I believe where a police officer said they were selling NICKEL bags of heroin.

NICKS OF HEROIN FOR FUCKS SAKE. The only bag of any drug you can find a nick for is a nickel bag low grade marijuana.

People need to stop doing the drugs and the dealers will disappear. EVERYONE knows this, but its not that easy.

Stereotyping exists because there is often truth behind it.

If there wasn't any connection, how would the stereotype exist?


Black people like to eat fried chicken. Black people love lasagna.

Now, one of those is a "stereotype" and one isn't. Which one is also closer to the truth?

LOL, people will never stop doing drugs. We should legalize every one, monitor its production, legitimize the dealers into business men and tax it. Whats the point of creating crime when most of these addicts will sit in their own houses and kill themselves. Also don't give me that if we legalize it they will start driving on heroin nonsense; they already do. Now at least we can make sure they aren't giving anyone aids with tainted drugs.
