There’s this blogger, I won’t link to him, but he ‘Rounds Up’ Greenwich news everyday in his blog, which is a little more than frenetic, featuring multicolored, centered text of various sizes.
His blog got some attention in The FC because he waged a public battle against the Greenwich Police Chief with it. Now he basically just reposts a lot of headlines and what-not.
The reason I mention this is that I don’t want to get this guys rep, as some guy who gets all uppity about the local government cause, you know, this is supposed to be a commuter blog, and that stuff is boring (Says Chris The Administrator Of The Peppy Crisp And Clean - No Caffeine Blog Called StationStopzzzzzzzzzzzz ..... zzzzz...... zzzz .... zzzz .... zzzz .... ).
But I got to get in this last jab…
Last week I got on the GPD’s and Greenwich Time’s case about this drug bust, where 3 teenagers got charged with misdemeanor possession and it hit the papers like it was some kind of epic win on the war on drugs.
Well, today we had a similar story from the Greenwich Time, where a mother and son were busted as part of a year-long investigation - with less than 2 ounces of pot, a pot pipe, and 2 valium tablets.
I guess I am jaded from watching The Wire and other TV shows, but it seems like in the real world of narcotics, a bust like this is considered routine, with year-long investigations targeting the big boys who are *supplying* the little guys who are driving around public housing with baggies.
Especially in Fairfield County, where we all know there are many backcountry mansions housing enough cocaine to get one through the longest hedge fund recession - I think the Greenwich Narcotics Department could bring in bigger fish if they set their sights a little higher.
OK, So I get it, this mom’s been dealing dimebags for a while and its pissed of the locals - sure, go arrest her - but lets spend out ‘yearlong’ investigation time on something more worthwhile, eh?
