I appreciate the concept. He's making it harder to choose to ignore the easy obviousness of drug buying in the neighborhood.

Plus, check out the racial profile:

I can appreciate it too, but it is so heavy handed that the whole concept would be lost on 95% of the public....so my original comment is a reflection on that failure.

The ice cream man in my neighborhood sells drugs out of his truck. Seriously.

I've seen deals go down and reported him twice, apparently to no avail.

Jared, that is so awesome... Doesn't even bother to get a, you know, NOT ICECREAM TRUCK TO SELL HIS DRUGS?! Incredible. Unless you're joking, in which case it's still awesome but I'm a little more stupid than the first scenario.

Not joking. I'm up on the third floor with a large balcony where (until I quit) I would smoke cigarettes at night and I'd often see him driving in or around the apartment complexes to the south and east of me.

I can think of a few other people a little higher up on the 'need to be taken out' scale than a performance artist.

Every time I ever got burned buying weed, I always knew the guy wasn't right. I just felt it. But I wanted to believe him. If he's not lyin to me, and it really is Thai stick, then whoa baby. But it's never Thai stick.

I ran into a guy selling tied sticks for 10 bucks on the Ft Laudersale strip a long time ago. Looked like he took parsley and emlers glue, mashed it up and put it on a shish kebab stick and wrapped it with red thread. I couldnt help but wonder how much cash he'd pull in before having to bail or get beat up.
