A case of mistaken identity? Maybe. Or maybe not.
Durham’s drug culture, man. No native son or daughter is immune.

Not sure why anyone would be surprised. Age is irrelevant. This just proves that some drug dealers actually live into old age. Of course at this point in his life any sentence would probably be a life sentence.

As Groucho Marx once said,
“Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.” and as Forest Gump said “stupid is, as stupid does”

Oh great. Now we get to demonstrate our bigotry toward the aged. Don’t you know it’s all society’s fault?
RushBaby on August 26, 2007 at 2:36 PM
You can’t get upset with him, after all Social Security isn’t enough to survive on.

This is what happens when your runner and lookout is 88.

Ahhh the anti drug war and it’s many anniversaries.

Well duh. Dealing coke at 93 has its hazards don’tcha know.

Check inside the metal frame of his walker, quick!

Are we sure Nifong’s not on the case?
JammieWearingFool on August 26, 2007 at 4:05 PM
If he were, we could be sure the poor old guy is quite innocent.

Because of the disastrous policies of the Bush Administration, our Seniors are being forced to break the law to pay their rent, buy food and pay their ever increasing healthcare costs. Rather than helping the most vulnerable Americans, the Bush Administration has chosen to spend the nation’s wealth on a unnecessary war of aggression in Iraq and cases like this are the result.

I didn’t know Marion Barry was 93.
Rosetta on August 26, 2007 at 4:18 PM
Wasn’t Marion Barry busted for smoking crack and possession as opposed to trafficking?

Marion Barry was busted for smoking crack? When did that happen?
Rosetta on August 26, 2007 at 5:15 PM
Are we sure he could even see the cocaine in those glasses? Why is it that people that deal in coke always look like that? You would think with all the money they make they could at least get a make-over.

How ’bout this submarine carrying a reported 5 tons of blow… I think that’s a lot.

Democrats will offer this as PROOF that Social Security benefits must be raised.
Maxx on August 26, 2007 at 5:46 PM
He is not 93, he is 27. His looks are attributed to many years of dope usage and crack Ho’s.
Wade on August 26, 2007 at 5:46 PM
Wow… they wouldn’t have to surface for a long time.
Maxx on August 26, 2007 at 6:10 PM
Drop the geritol. I repeat: DROP THE GERITOL AND STEP AWAY FROM THAT INHALER!! I wonder if he was pimpin’ any 80 year old hotties.

Now that’s funny

In Durham we always look for creative activities for our senior citizens. It keeps them young at heart. Remember, you’re just as old as you feel.
rivlax on August 26, 2007 at 8:29 PM
His being 93 makes the story remarkable because most people who live to his age are usually taking more drugs (prescription) than they sell. It is not a goal I have set for myself at that age but who knows what can go through a persons mind after 93 years. I wouldn’t be suprised if the guy lived by the straight and narrow till he hit 90 then figured what the heck how much time can I get or even do?! Heh Heh
sonnyspats1 on August 26, 2007 at 8:43 PM
OG, just trying to keep it real. The Pit Bull fighting thing doesn’t work at his age.

Don’t hate tha playa, hate tha game.

Once again, the citizens of North Carolina can be proud of the ridiculous shenanigans of the inmates of Durham, NC.
Ugh. What a pit.
