Looks like my little town could make national news

2 corrupt cops off the streets. Apparently this was a 2 year investigation spanning over California, Arizona and several areas of Texas. I actually bought the engine thats currently in my VW Beetle from Officer Bohannon. Nice guy and all but I can't say he didn't act pretty wired whenever I talked to him. Very suspicious acting..... I have also met Bobby Froman and his wife the "ringleaders" of the operation.(When you deal with old cars you meet these kind of people.)

But truly the best news I have heard in some time. The meth problem is crazy here for being such a small town.

The county I live in in Texas is just full of small dairy towns, but there are terrible meth and drug related problems, like there used to be a confirmed 70 something meth labs, and after a few months it got lowered to 50ish, which is still terrible.

Lee County, Alabama, where Auburn is located, was at one point considered the second highest producer of meth in the entire country. 70 meth labs ain't nothing.

Rhode Island, corruption is very a everyday commonplace thing here. Its a real shame too RI has lots a beautiful things about it, only to get spoiled by greed and corruption.

So I just watched the local news and I must say I also worked on Bobby Fromans computer at the only computer repair shop in town. A bad power supply if I remember right. :lol:

His brother brought it in, but the skull sticker I saw on the news was a dead giveaway. Great stuff.

Man this reminds me about this chemistry teacher who was making meth with a former student, and let the student's girlfriend die from choking on her own vomit which in turn caused her father to spiral into depression and make a serious error while while working as an airtraffic controller which lead to a midair plane crash, pieces of which plummeted into the teacher's backyard pool.

Breaking Bad?

I have only seen the first 2 episodes but they rocked my world and sound very similar to what you typed Jrecee.

When the hell does season 3 start. Either it needs to be soon or they need to make longer seasons!

Oh well, quality over quantity I guess.

All I ask guys is no spoilers. I really intend to watch all of the episode but I just dont have the time at the moment. From what I have seen it is the best show on TV IMO.
