Why do dope dealers have to be so DUMB?

[DS1]

Yeah yeah, I know it can make you stupid, but why do the people we customers entrust to deliver do stupid shit like this and drive up the prices? :argh:

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1110AP_BRF_Marijuana_Seizure.html.

A burglary call at a house led to the seizure of roughly 2,500 pounds of pot worth about $11.6 million on the street, police said Monday.

It was believed to be the largest marijuana bust in the city in more than 40 years.

Police responding to a 911 burglary call Saturday night at a home in West Philadelphia searched the home and discovered 120 bales of pot in the basement.

Allen Womack, 27, and Dalion Baskerville, 42, were arrested and charged with possession with intent to deliver marijuana and conspiracy. Baskerville told authorities someone had paid him to use the house as a storage facility, police said.

1. i guess if they were smart they could get a real job?

:shrug:

[DS1]

2. It IS a real job

if you do it right

3. No, if they were smart they'd be selling something more lucrative

Nobody ever got rich selling weed or hash. It's for low-achieving drug dealers. :)

5. It's not the weed that's got the high margins, it's the potato chips

you send in and sell 30 minutes later :-)

7. Just-in-time economics

Like what the supermarkets do! :D

20. not low-achieving, just unambitious

9. Tears are falling all over Seattle.

My condolences to all of western Washington state.

10. It happened in Philly!!!

How sad is it that I checked the names to see if my SO's dealer friends were involved?

/disclaimer: haven't touched the stuff myself since college, but still have friends who do

11. Now why should I be expected to actually follow the link?

Sheesh. :eyes:

I assumed it was Seattle because I saw the Seattle sourcelink.

I guess it's a good thing that I'm not in the biz.

[Patiod]

13. No need to follow link, just read the OP

"Police responding to a 911 burglary call Saturday night at a home in West Philadelphia searched the home and discovered 120 bales of pot in the basement."

Not familiar with a "West Philadelphia" area of Seattle, but what do I know.

So the tears are in Philadelphia (maybe a good reason to get SO to reconsider his vices?)

14. I misread and posted prematurely. I'll return to lurking now.

22. That's OK - there's an Indiana and California in PA

:shrug:

12. We had some kids try to call the 913 area code once.

(It's a nearby area code) Instead, they dialed 911 and hung up. An officer was dispatched for a hang up, got to the scene, kid answers the door and the officer sees, in plain view of the open door, the kids bagging up pot.

Now that is stupid.

16. Dude is getting evicted

Sheriff deputies show up to evict the guy and find a pound of dope on the coffee table.

Hey, shithead, you know all those papers that say you are getting kicked out for not paying the rent? Well they mean it.

19. Man, what a waste

of police work.

They should be out busting Republicans.

:cry:

21. I would think because it is illegal.

Smart people don't do things that can send them to prison.
