I can tell you from personal experience that stopping high level and street level dealers that are compounding the problem of addiction is not a priority in Clallam County. A year and a half ago, while waiting in my car for my son in the Sequim Safeway parking lot, I witnessed people driving up and walking up to a man openly dealing drugs. What followed was the man going back to his truck, getting a backpack out, openly displaying cash, and then getting in a brand new truck with out of state plates, while the driver and the man sat in the parking lot. I forwarded what I observed, including license plates and descriptions of people involved to the Sequim police; however, no one ever contacted me. While I agree that addiction is an individual choice for which individuals should be accountable, as a parent I feel there are young people who are vulnerable and our priority should be getting these dealers and their drugs off of our streets. Give them real jail time that reflects the number of lives they’ve adversely impacted and stop accepting their drug money for bail and adding it to the county’s coffers. Human trafficking, sexual assault, violence, and theft stemming from drugs is destroying our community.
I worry about the money behind this Montana Idiot. Where is he getting the reload of
drugs after the police confiscate his inventory. Who is financing this operation? It
is far more worrisome as to who is behind this operation. It is
far bigger than him. Obviously our police force are amateurs at best. Where is the
State Police on this and there special task force for drugs? Follow the money trail to
nail the kingpin. There is no beating this problem without strict enforcement and
actual JAIL time. Maybe the leaders of our county are the money behind this enterprise. They sure and the hell are allowing and supporting this business.
Now they are even giving them $350 k condos that they can
hide there money in the dishwashers and plug in their EV cars.
Thank you for reporting on this problem. Most of us in Clallam County know we have a drug problem and not a homeless problem. Just visit the down town Safeway in Port Angeles, they don’t hide, drug use in plain sight .We have become too soft and we need to change our policies on how we deal with this big problem. It’s actually cruel what our county/city are doing , we are enabling this drug induced lifestyle,and creating zombies that roam the streets.
The answers are all ways there and AI doesnt need to provide them: Zero tolerance, Tough love, no money for NGOs and zero conflict of interest in the leaders.
