I think the word is facilitated. But I'm assuming all the laws against it and the gangs surrounding it were because it was good for people.

So with you. And when he finally got to walk her to school and just love her, then promised her they would go to Cali? The dread on his face when he was busted the final score was epic. Depp nailed that movie.


Yea dude, you could feel it. You can put yourself in that situation. Scares me to death to even consider letting my daughter down like that. Depp did an incredible job portraying that dread.

I can't think of any good movie after that he did where he was the lead. He did nail that role.


Rango, if that counts.

Jung was arrested again and sentenced in 1985 to 15 years in prison, a sentence that was later reduce ed to four years after Jung agreed to to testify against Lehder, by then a drug lord in his own right. When Jung was released the following year, he claimed to be retired from the drug business.

But six years later, in 1995, Jung was arrested again at his Cape Cod home after receiving a truckload of Mexican marijuana. In 1997, he was sentenced to 21 years in prison

Damn,he only did 4 years for the coke. Then went to jail for 21 for marijuana, which is probably almost legal in MA.

I think personal choice in terms of consumption is different. No market, no need for laws.

So, we know that Pablo had George + Barry Seal.

How many others could he have had that we don't "know" about?

Consenting adults doing drugs. The laws obviously didn't work and America lost a drug war and in the process enabled and financed organized crimes and gangs. George Jung never made anyone do drugs.

Americans? Not many. These guys all sign like canaries now that the statute of limitations has passed. We have a VERY comprehensive knowledge of Pablo's American network these days in terms of smugglers, safe houses, distributors, etc.

He said no one got hurt. I said thousands of crack babies would probably disagree.

I get the libertarian talking points. Not relevant. Thanks.

Still not relevant. Thousands of crack babies and our society as a whole were impacted. I'm glad Jung is dead. Not a good guy.

thats what I always wondered. If he did 85% of the trade, I suppose Barry did the other 15%? there were probably more than these two doing the shipping.

Lets not put all the blame on the coke dealer, because honestly the type of people who do crack when they are pregnant probably don't shy away from Cigarettes and booze either when they are pregnant. Cigarettes and booze will frick up a fetus as bad as cocaine. Lets just call a spade a spade, if you're that type of person you don't give a shite about the kid anyway.

ETA: I do agree that Jung is a colossal piece of shite as well.

Barry was a free agent flying coke for both the Medellin cartel and the Cali cartel. He was in transport and for hire. Same as Mickey Munday and all those pilots for American, Delta, and Eastern airlines out of Miami. They did it as side work for extra money. Lot of these guys were just random family men who did it for the money that you will never hear about.
