Yeah, there was a crew of sneak thieves from New York that robbed some drug dealers when I was at UM. It's a thing.Robbing college drug dealers is a tale as old as the drug trade itself. A lot of these kids have money and buy in bulk and just sell to other college kids. They often have a ton of cash sitting around and aren’t armed.
Exactly, it's a lot easier to rob them than to rob the dudes with major weight that are more traditional dealers. Most college drug dealers are students too(Hence why they can blend in), and are able to use their connects to fund their lifestyle. College kids are a captive audience, and if you are on campus anyway, you can make a ton of money just being the kid with some extra lying around.Robbing college drug dealers is a tale as old as the drug trade itself.

Finish the story. Tell me he had a stint as a prosecutor lol.Exactly, it's a lot easier to rob them than to rob the dudes with major weight that are more traditional dealers.

I knew a dude that lived in Mahoney with me back in the day, it was known he was carrying weight, but seeing that even RAs scored from him, no one said anything. He eventually moved off campus, kept dealing, graduated and ended up being in my 1L section.
Yes. Problem for them is truth is a defense and he would be entitled to discovery and making them go under oath.Can't this guy get sued for saying all this?
Lost contact but I do know he wanted to be in corporate law.Finish the story. Tell me he had a stint as a prosecutor lol.
Sounds like a dude i indicted for money laundering a few years back lol.Exactly, it's a lot easier to rob them than to rob the dudes with major weight that are more traditional dealers.

Could be. Wouldn't be shocked, if you knew dude, you could easily tell he was "Sketchy". We had mutual friends, the first time I met him I was like "I can't put my finger on it, but you are doing something crazy" . That said, he wasn't alone in doing that on campus. During my time on campus, there were at least 4-5 guys(to my knowledge) that were hustling like that. The crazy part is that some of them didn't need to, they just liked the money, and it was easier than asking their parents or getting a part time job.Sounds like a dude i indicted for money laundering a few years back lol.
I knew guys who robbed and guys who got robbed at UCF. This one dude got too involved and started trying to move coke while dealing with some real drug dealers. They kicked in his door, pistol whipped him and stole his safe.Exactly, it's a lot easier to rob them than to rob the dudes with major weight that are more traditional dealers.

The federal ban on automatic weapons, specifically machine guns, was enacted through the firearm Owners’ Protection Act on May 19, 1986. This act prohibited the transfer and possession of machine guns, with exceptions for government agencies and those lawfully possessed before that date.I'm not sure the point, but mostly what you cite are organized crime groups killing fellow criminals, not random innocent people on the street. You cite St. Valentine's Day (Thompson SMGs that were used could be legally owned by Americans in the 1920s) and other hits. The Italian mob had pretty strict rules about not killing cops or innocent people when that made a difference to the public. As our government likes to characterize their type of killing, they were more surgical strikes with very little or no collateral damage.
Even the Columbians and Cubans kept it mostly to their targets during the 1970s and 1980s cocaine wars. I remember a shootout in a Big Daddy's parking lot in Dadeland Mall in 1979. Wild gun fight in the store and parking lot with the two targets killed; I don't recall any civilians killed. Amazing with the amount of bullets flying according to the coverage. They found the getaway van loaded with weapons, including a crew-served machine gun (illegal).
There will always be turf wars over illegal goods. But innocent people began dying in droves (long after the ban on automatic weapons in 1934) when the Russian and newer mobs grew in prominence in major American cities. Add to that less disciplined street gangs spraying dwellings with AK-47s in Drive-bys or not being able to shoot straight, and more innocents began dying than their fellow criminal enterprise targets.

Back in the day a lot of my friends and I had automictic weapons. Mack 10s, 11s and Uzis.
We were all in the movie business where guns are used as props where many people had licenses to sell guns and keep fully autos after 1986. War and drug movies always had every kind of weapon you could think of.
I used to have a street sweeper which I found out later was totally illegal after a year after I bought it back in the early 80s while the other guns were still legal. It was only a semi auto. J B Jones who was in Vietnam had all the weapons used on Miami Vice and other films shot down in Miami back in the day. He was also a explosives guy as well and had a lot of assistants working for him. He always over did it.
The US government has always been involved in illegal drugs or alcohol trade with their alphabet agencies. Barry Seal flying into Mena Arkansas was all CIA and where Bill Clinton kept a cover up for a payoffs. Iran Contra was all George Bush and his buddies.
Miami was well known back in the 20s for their rumrunning a probably had as much alcohol coming in as any other place back in the US during that time. They had their special fast boats that were always faster than what the feds had back from the 1920s to the 80s. The old bar Tobacco Road had a long history back in its day.
The Kennedys made their money bringing alcohol in during prohibition but just paid of the right people. Capone paid off politicians but had a hi profile of violence and went to prison for it. Miami has always had a history of bringing rum and drugs in.
