I smell something...and it ain't fish

A few years ago there was a man that was shot to death just outside of the Jacob Price Housing projects in Covington, KY.



This poor man lived in the suburbs about 15 or so minutes away from this area and his family could not understand why he would be in this Covington neighborhood in the first place, let alone be shot. One news story went as far as to show the victim's daughter testifying that the last thing that her father said to her before he walked at the door that morning was that he was going out for some "candy".

Low and behold, just a few days later, this random shooting turned out to be drug related. The "candy" that the gentleman was trying to purchase was not the kind marketed to children.

This leads me to a story a news story that that reported of a house that caught on fire in Indian Hill (one of the richest areas in the Cincinnati and the country) due to a burglar trying to light up a crack pipe in the home. Apparently, the only reason why this "burglar" broke into the house in one of the wealthiest areas in the country was to find a nice, quiet place to get high.

I do not buy it. There is something else that is going on. I will give it some time so see if anything more comes of it.
