    Hard to believe how many are caught with drugs in their vehicle from doing traffic violations. It’s like stop me, stop me, I want to be caught.

    It’s people like this that are directly responsible for those addicted to the poison they sell that causes tragedies like a 2 year old being left in a hot car to die because of an addicted mom.

    Are you really quoting the Bible, while running down Century? I didn’t see Century anywhere in the article.

    Is Cantoment trying to be like Century? STOP IT! Make a difference in a good way. Anyone can do drugs and break laws. Educate yourselves in something you like, God will help you if you ask Him. He says we have not, because we ask not.
