San Diego State drug bust

Re: San Diego State drug bust

Gotta love a bunch of students and frat boys having a "sale" on cocaine. You want to pretend you're Scarface then be ready to accept the consequences.

Either their lawyers will get them all probation with credit for time served...or some judge is going to try and make an example out of them and hit them hard. I'm sure they are praying for the former.

lol reality check time for the wannabes

Re: San Diego State drug bust

Unless when you say major university you only mean the top 20 or so in the nation and then I would agree with you.

Any school with more than 10,000 kids or so will have a cocaine problem on some level. I'm not saying 10% of kids or anything, but you can find at least 50-100 coke heads on any decent sized campus, and that can easily sustain several dealers.

Every school I've visited has "that" fraternity house.

Yep, I checked my e-mail box and sure enough, what Blzer posted was there.

I hope those people accept their punishment and move on. They made a bad decision and hopefully they learn from it.

Re: San Diego State drug bust

I didn't hear about this until my classmates told me there was a huge drug bust on campus! I was surprised! But why SDSU? Why can't they also check out other campuses too then? There might be these same drug ring problems around the nation too.

I just hope people can see that it's not SDSU's fault. I just don't like to get a bad reputation for going to a school that had a huge drug bust. Oh well, that's the way some people view things I guess, though I hope they won't be.

By the way, would this hurt SDSU's sports recruiting in any way?

Unless some of the people that were arrested were in athletics, it shouldn't affect SDSU's sports recruiting.

But that's just me, obviously other people will look at this differently.

Re: San Diego State drug bust

I have about 20 friends who go there, and theyve talked to me about it. All i know is, they ve been getting away with it for awhile.

Everytime i would go down there to visit friends, people are smoking weed or doing lines of coke. But just like every school, partying is a main draw and until EVERY school does something about it. Things will just keep going on

Re: San Diego State drug bust

This happened at SDSU, but you could fill any school's name in there and it wouldnt surprise me. Alot of people in their late teens early twenties make choices in college that arent the smartest. Its part of the belief that you are bullet proof when youre young.

San Diego's closeness to Mexico increases the supply of hard drugs i imagine.

it would probably be more difficult for kids in say Ohio to get their hands on so much cocaine.

yea, but in college dorms it used to just be stuff like stealing free cable, or gambling. It has changed....The country is going crazy

It makes them cheaper, but that's about it. If they're cheaper on a top level, they're cheaper on the bottom, so the profit margins are pretty much the same. While there is definitely more cocaine (and far cheaper) in cities like Atlanta or Miami than DC or New York, it only really affects the middle-lower class. Rich frat kids are going to get the cocaine they desire, and there will always be someone there ready to take their money.

I hear ya. Wherever there is demand, there will be supply, no matter where they are.

but i wonder what kind of pipeline the dealers had. I imagine there is more access in San Diego for sellers than most places. These kids had a pipeline....Im curious if a cartel recruited the college kids to sell for them on campus. If so, those kids should be careful in the upcoming legal process obviously or they could put their families in danger

Like some people said, most colleges/universities have drug issues.

The new high school I went to for 2 years was full of rich-prep kids and cocaine was a known problem within the campus instead of the typical pot. Arellano Felix and his cartel would be/has been the major cartel being sought after. Whenever you go through the border you see the poster board for him and then his now captured brothers.

Re: San Diego State drug bust

Just found out today from one of my fraternity brothers that SAM has a chapter of there and about 7 people get busted...Not as many people from Phi Kappa Psi though.

Yeah that could be one good thing to help keep it from happening again. The fraternities will probably be pulled by either the school or national chapter. So they would have to take it off campus and you wouldn't have the group of people together as easily as you could in one house.

Up until a few years ago, I've never had an issue with Baja but now it definitley is a very weird feel and won't go down anymore..Even sold the house that was 4 hours south of Ensenada and not in a town.
