Who edits these stories?
It probably cost more to clean up their mess than they have to pay to make bond. They'll be right back out making meth in no time.

I just came across a story where a Fayetteville mother of a new born is being charged with felony murder. Her new born allegedly died from "meth intoxication?" I'd never heard that term before now.

ajc excerpt: Kaisha Lynne Poulson was arrested Wednesday and charged with one count of felony murder, two counts of cruelty to children and one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a Fayette County jail spokeswoman said. Poulson also faces two drug charges.
Poulson was denied bond at a hearing Thursday.
Fayetteville police received a 911 call on March 7 reporting that a 2-month-old boy was not breathing, Channel 2 reported. The baby was pronounced dead at the scene.
A GBI autopsy and toxicology tests determined the baby died from meth intoxication, according to reports.

The fines and jail sentences need to be stiffer for those selling the ingredients to make meth. The Rocky Top Market in East Ridge was selling somebody I know $1500 worth of Sudafed at a time to make Meth with. They were combining the purchasing power of about 10 convenience stores to be able to get that amount. The Indonesians that owned the store went to jail when the Meth ring was busted but the store was given to other family members and went right on opperating. A couple of Patels paid the price but the rest kept profiting.

EZ, wasn't it exposed that had more to do with "citizens" not wanting all those "Indian" businesses cropping up they'd have to compete with? Those business were set up? Didn't the Patels fight those charges and win? :?
