Man busted with $2 million in pot jailed in NJ

 According to (http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/local&id=8620959) there was a Florida man who had 600 pounds of marijuana (weed/pot) in a tractor-trailer that he was driving in New Jersey . he was sentence 15 years in prison .Gordon Peters has to serve 10 years of his term before becoming eligible for parole. The 44-year-old Miramar resident was convicted in February of possessing marijuana with the intent to distribute in a quantity of more than 25 pounds. In January 2010 peter was arrested after Bayonne police stopped to investigate an open truck. After detecting a strong odor of marijuana, officers found Peters inside the truck with one of the 32 marijuana bundles found inside the vehicle.the marijuana he had was worth 2 million.Peters stated he didn't know the drugs were in the truck , trying to maintain his innocence when he was sentenced Friday .

There are millions of people now that sell drugs. Some people don't get caught . i never knew you could get so many years just by having marijuana . I have witness and knew a couple people that  have been caught selling or having drugs on them . Having 2 million dollars of marijuana is outrageous . I still don't know the value or how serious marijuana is . Sadly i do think that 15 years is good for him. what was he gonna do with the marijuana anyways ? everyone knows he was going to make money off of it . he lived in Florida , what was he doing in new jersey? i honestly think having a truck is  suspicious. well now Gordon is in jail , although i do wounder what did the police did with the marijuana .

Final goodbyes for fallen Philadelphia firefighters

Acorrding to (http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/local&id=8615830) thousands of people lined up to pay respects to two of Philadelphia's finest. At St. Cecilia's Roman Catholic Church in Fox Chase Saturday morning as family, friends and strangers waited to get in for the viewing of 25-year-old Daniel Sweeney the doors were full of long lines.Sweeney's co-workers from Ladder Company 10 lowered his casket from Engine 7 and carried it inside for his final viewing and funeral. Sweeney was killed along with 60-year-old Lieutenant Robert Neary, after they were caught in a building that  collapse after Monday's five-alarm fire in Kensington. Two firefighters were rescued and one of them still remains in the hospital.At the conclusion of the ceremony, Sweeney's flag-draped coffin was loaded onto Engine 7 for one final ride. His body was taken to Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Cheltenham, where he was laid to rest.
Another viewing will be held for Lt. Neary from 5:00 - 8:00 pm at Givnish Funeral Home.

I honestly think this was a tragedy , but i want to know why was only these two fire fighters the center of attention. No disrespect to their families or anything but there are fire fighters that are killed everyday . Besides that i have sympathy for them. I do think it is absolutely sad . I never went threw anything like that but i can imagine what their families are going threw . As i learned about the building that killed them two fire fighters it made me upset. That morning i woke up to seeing it on the news had me shaking my head . Its nothing we can do about but i do want justice for the owner if that building .
