NARCS Bust San Diego State- Undercover agents posing as college students busted more than 100 drug dealers at San Diego State University recently. The federal agents went to one or two parties but never actually went to class or lived in the dorms. Instead, they merely arranged meetings with suspected dealers and asked about buying cocaine, Ecstasy, methamphetamine, marijuana and other drugs, authorities said Wednesday. “All it took was saying, `Hey, I go to State, can you hook me up?’” said San Diego County prosecutorDamon Mosler. “And then it was off to the races” (News: NARCS Bust San Diego State). The day after the drug sweep landed members of three fraternities in jail and led to the suspension of six frats, investigators revealed how easy it was to penetrate the university’s drug culture. Students who had gotten caught for fighting, drinking, minor drug offenses or other crimes quickly turned informants and used text messages to introduce their drug dealers to undercover agents. Dealers made hand offs in front of dorms, in parking lots or behind frat houses, sometimes in broad daylight in full view of surveillance cameras. The NARCS involved were baffled by the laissez-faire attitude of the dealers who did little to ward off an arrest. However, some of the busts were not small-time, including members of one fraternity who had a sophisticated distribution ring. Well NARCS, are you really surprised to find college kids selling pot and cocaine, or is this the first time you’ve had nothing better to do than bust a bunch of students? Drug use and sales are at an all time high in the US, most notably with grass and cocaine, so why not bother the Colombian or Mexican cartels? Or, even better yet, why don’t you send some guys down to that hole in the fence in southern San Diego County? There are plenty of illegal immigrants passing through that spot. Let’s face it, if it weren’t for the college kids selling drugs, there wouldn’t be much of anything floating around. People in the real world are too worried about getting busted by undercover NARCS.
