…WE
DON’T GO AFTER THESE PEOPLE OF COLOR BECAUSE THEY MIGHT SHOOT BACK.
Open-air
drug markets seem to operate with impunity.
The National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC), an agency of the U.S.
Department of Justice, says that the distribution of illegal drugs in Northern
Virginia is conducted by “West African and Middle Eastern criminal groups are
the primary transporters of Southwest Asian heroin into Virginia,"
The
report also said that “Mexican brown powdered heroin and Mexican black tar
heroin available in Virginia typically are transported into the state from
southwestern states and North Carolina by Mexican criminal groups.”
Dominican and African American criminal groups
are the dominant wholesale and mid-level distributors of South American heroin
in Virginia."
