Please... show me the US Census statistic that shows that a large # of NEPA "Transplants" are the Criminal Drug Dealing Type...

Its Crazy Talk!! many of us on this FORUM are transplants.. do you assume some of us deal drugs??

How do you know they deal drugs? because they have an accent when they talk? or because of the way they dress? what in the hell does that have to do with selling drugs.

or maybe its because they dont look like you that makes you think they deal drugs...what in the world makes you think you know that they deal drugs. are they selling to your kids? i mean do you watch them physically hand the crack to your son/daughter?

YOU DONT KNOW! its ignorant to think that. it really is.

i mean how would you like it if people run around saying the locals are the trailer trash type.. i certainly dont feel that way - i'm making a point.

stop being so close minded.
A large number of transplants are the criminal drug dealing type, just take a look at the arrests and sentencings in the paper sometime and you will see lots of addresses in NYC, Philadelphia, NJ, etc etc. It is a well-known fact that big city drug dealers come here to sell drugs because there is less competition and they can charge higher prices. You chose to take half of my statement, I also said in that sentence that natives of NEPA are not unwelcoming to the law-abiding transplants who come here for the right reasons.
