Not if he uses. My brother in law sold and consumed,then stole to buy more to sell more to use more. Make any sense ?
His son sold but wasn't a user and while he lived in one of the junky houses that his parents owned, it had new siding, a new air conditioner, a security system complete with cameras in case LE showed up, new furniture, a newer camaro, 3 ATV's (although those were stolen by someone else and were a trade for drugs).
He got out of the business for awhile but couldn't find a real job because of his criminal record. He was just starting up again when he got raided by the DEA last month. He's in jail on a probation violation but hasn't been charged for the drugs or guns they found yet. Is he guilty ? Yes. But he might get out of it because LE raided the right house but had the wrong address on the search warrant. It was for the house next door that his parents also own.
My sis's family owns 3 crappy houses and a couple of lots in this crappy little area in Missouri called Tarsney Lakes. If they sold all 3, they might be able to buy one middle class home.
But they stayed even after my brother-in-law cleaned his act up some and started making decent $$ because there's only one way on and off the lake. They live on a hill at the top of the lake so they know right away whenever LE shows up and can make sure any drugs or stolen property are either hidden or moved to a camper or one of the other houses.
They have lots of guns even though both my nephew and bro-in-law are convicted felons but they also know their rights and keep their mouths shut.
They have a huge wall safe in a house worth about $22k.
Ron & his mom reminds me so much of this side of my family. My sister is an enabler.
I don't speak to her anymore and never will, but my niece told me that when my nephew got busted, she felt guilty. Not because she allowed my nephew to deal drugs out of her home or benefited from his illegal activities, but because she didn't recognize that the guy in the older car who pretended to be " broke down" and waiting for a ride was actually an undercover cop.
As the queen of Tarsney Lake, she pays attention to what goes on there and she had to know what this man who was sitting in his car on her street was doing. My niece said that when she later recognized him during the bust, he said addressed her by name and said "guess what ? my car wasn't really broke down."
How sick is this ? My nephew paid $350 month rent. Every month he would give his dad a pound of weed he purchased for $500 and his dad would give him $150 back for the difference.
They are all very likable people, but if you are in Jackson County Missouri and you need the cops at their house, you can call from anywhere and just say you need them at the (their name) house and they will know where to go.
If one of my nephews had disappeared when they were younger, I wouldn't have thought that my sis or her husband had done something to them, but I would know that it had happened because of the company they kept and the people they pizzed off.
I would blame them because they should have known the risks involved to their children because of their lifestyle choice.
My nephew was molested by an older boy at knife-point and she didn't call LE because she was friends with the boy's grandmother. When they were older (mid-teens) and the older boy was married she even allowed them to spend the night at his house. My niece and another little boy was molested by one of her dad's friends. They didn't report it. I learned all this from my niece and nephews because my sister doesn't want anybody to know. Was it because they had something on her or her husband or was she afraid CPS would take the kids from her if they told ? IDK, but I do know that my nephew that was molested is bi-polar, manic depressive and has major anger problems. He had to feel like he was nothing when his own mother wouldn't even report that he's been abused. I'm crying for them as I write this. The thing is, you would never know this by looking at them, they're so good at hiding things that even if you knew them, you would never imagine their history.
My sister hasn't been convicted of anything and most of the charges against my bro-in-law were dropped or he did the diversion programs because he has a great lawyer.
The fact that there isn't a record of every crime or offense just means they know how to work the system and of their right to remain silent.
They would also never allow LE to search their properties and it's not that easy to get a search warrant in their county (per the Captain of the JACO sheriff's dept who says they're always watching them).
The only relevance my rant has on this case are the similarities I see between Ron's family and my sister's.
