Update: FBI Raids Hayes Valley Den of Iniquity

After this morning's FBI raids in San Francisco and Oakland, a total of five people were arrested. For what, you ask? Well, not human trafficking. Not treason. Not even hardcore gang activity. The five people (four men and one with-child lady) were hit with charges of selling or conspiring to sell crack cocaine. The charges against five retailers -- businesspeople, if you will, who are just trying to give you a lift -- carry mandatory minimum sentences of five or 10 years. Sorry to ruin your weekend plans.

The Feds, once again, doing the policing our city won't do. Thanks guys!

The feds once again chasing good taxpayer money after bad drug policies.

ahh...the prison industrial complex is well at work. feel safer now?

At least the drug dealers aren't coming around begging for bailout money. Maybe the automakers ought to hire them.

No one said the game was easy.

prison?? just wait for the auto industrial complex

That photo is from Brock's flickr. I think.

We have to have snarky commentary on arresting crack dealers now? Can't we at least agree that crack is kinda a bad thing and maybe we shouldn't have it out on the streets?
