I knew these people and you would have never guessed that they are big time drug dealers and thugs. They have small children and obviously show their total disregard for their safety and upbringing, not to mention the countless lives they've affected by peddling drugs. I'm glad I stopped associating with these people awhile back. I guess the safest bet is to run background checks on folks that pretend their all sweet and friendly before accepting them at face value. Forrest Gump said. Never know what you're gonna get! Good for you Maine, getting this scum off the streets and protecting us from these idiots!!!
