Laurinburg Police recently <span style="color: #0000ff;">arrested</span> several subjects as part of a months long investigation into a Vance Street convenience store for allegedly selling synthetic marijuana, known as Spice.

Dealing in, selling or promoting illegal drugs cannot be described as a wise move. Doing so from a convenience store, while certainly 'ahead of its time' from a business point of view, was just plain stupid. Perceived benefits, including profits, will now flow to bail-bondsmen, the legal profession and prison industrial complex.

Two of the suspects appear to be of Middle Eastern origin, which given the current climate, cannot be considered a plus when it comes to garnering judicial sympathy (if there was any to be had in the first place).

Can we put this whole thing into some kind of meaningful perspective that assists Laurinburg and Scotland County to find their way forward, given struggling economies and an increasing load of violent crime?
