Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.

In my opinion child trafficking is the worst thing happening in our world. Children carrying guns, killing and committing crimes is the second worst. I don’t know what the answer is other than prayer. It’s a vicious cycle of babies having babies dependent on welfare and the baby daddy is not present and most likely running drugs or worse. I’ve heard this city is a child trafficking hub. I don’t know if that’s true. Over ten years ago I heard Charlotte was a hub. I’m not trying start that discussion.
kids need our prayers
This is from my county and the city they made arrests is very gangster. Population 54,000. It’s run by a very corrupt city government.
PRESS RELEASE
On 01/17/2024, our Crash Reduction Unit conducted a traffic stop in the (blank city) for a motor vehicle violation. Throughout the investigation, a search was conducted on the occupants, and the backseat juvenile passenger was in possession of a firearm located down their pants. After seizing the firearm, it was determined the firearm was built with an “internal switch,” making it an automatic weapon.
The driver was cited and released. The juvenile was taken into custody and processed through the juvenile petition process, charged with felony possession of weapon of mass destruction, misdemeanor carrying a concealed gun, and misdemeanor possession of a firearm by a minor.
“We will continue to actively conduct traffic stops in every part of blank County with the focus of eradicating our streets of guns in the wrong hands,” stated Sheriff.
When the crack cocaine business hit the inner cities, I remember reading an article how the drugs affect the fetus, especially cocaine. Cocaine wipes out the dopamine receptors in the brain with constant use, so babies are born without those receptors. Dopamine is the feel good chemical that gives us those happy feelings, from emotions and physical pleasures. Imagine what happens with entire generations born without that, and what you get is enormous amounts of children born into sociopathy. Society is reaping what has been sown. Education about it is just laughed at by too many of these kids, the programs barely make a dent, and the soldiers for these cartels are coming in daily. We can pray. As long as there are customers, the business will go on, and the big cheeses in this business are not living in "the projects", they are in office, in the courts, and often, funding a lot of these urban projects. The poor men and women are addicted to the drugs, the ones selling them are addicted to the money. It is very depressing.
I didn’t know about drug babies born with dopamine receptors. Thanks for the education. Almost sounds like it was planned so they could soldiers, limitless income and soldiers to carry on the business. Evil is all around us and all we do is pray and try to keep loved ones safe. Over forty years ago I was way too familiar with alcohol and weed in my teens. Sure weed helps pain and other chronic illnesses but it dulls the mind and is highly addictive. Doesn’t matter if it’s legal or not people will get what they desire! I tried cocaine once and it scared the 💩 out of me. Not much has ever scared me so that’s saying something. I’m incredibly grateful I didn’t like it.
I feel the same about child trafficking and the entire satanic sacrifice, etc. We can try to stop it but it won’t ever be stopped until Jesus returns. Evil will always be here until the end. Some days I wish my head was still in the sand. Doesn’t matter because with my curiosity I would have found out eventually.
The driver was cited and released.
OK that’s a huge problem for me. But obviously all the cops are in on it. They don’t want to at rest the traffickers - but the kid in the backseat with the gun that’s the one they arrested. How do they know that was even the kids gun. Maybe the person driving forced the child to take the gun so he wouldn’t go to jail. Something smells fishy.
The city of the arrest is very corrupt but I’m learning even the tiny towns are corrupt. Don’t have time for details now will reply about that later. The sheriff department did the arrest. I’m not saying the sheriff department isn’t crooked but they have a good reputation, but anyone can be bought.
