Richard is absolutely correct. We have drug dealers behind our house in Mason SHITTY. All the bike riders with backpacks, riding without lights is the NUMBER ONE source in this town! They know they can not be stopped on their bikes.
Mason city is full of drug dealers. The Mason city council won’t talk about it.The school board is to busy trying to change the name as hard drugs are being sold inside mason city highschool. Meth, ecstasy, heroine, and yes tons of pot. Most of the drugs are being brought in by thugs from Minneapolis and detroit and chicago. Mason city has alot of thugs who are living in apartment complexes with other people. It’s time for CHIEF BRINKLEY to be fired.
Meth kills. Prior to ’95 speed was an obscure counter culture drug existing at the fringes of society. Right around this time the ‘oxycontin’ nightmare began. Down and out junkies are now scattered throughout America. It probably causes the vast amount of homelessness that seems to be everywhere now. Destroyed lives never to return. Marginalized and tossed away. Most turn to crime to survive. Most don’t live beyond 50 years of age. It’s hard not to imagine these people were young children once about a time. Happy go lucky kids following the world before them before being cruelly led down a path that ends in a nightmare. Shame on Mason City.
