In the matter of Stephen Porter. He has been convicted and released to his
own devices, repeatedly, for cocaine selling. He had reportedly acknowledged
past storage of drugs in his rectum; for safe keeping.
Which suggests a more plausible explanation. In cocaine culture body cavities are not special places, being considered ideal pouches for the routine storage and transport of drugs, or a means of "earning" money for purchase of more drugs. Mr. Porter already has prior experience in the use of his rearmost body cavity for at least the first of these applications, safe(?) storage of cocaine.
Which neatly leads us to a more plausible explanation of what happened to Mr.Porter's rearmost body cavity on the day of his arrest. What if Mr. Porter, noting an imminent bust and in possession of cocaine, decided to conceal it in his rearmost body cavity. Mr. Porter is also perhaps already high on cocaine, his nervous system is quite preoccupied by the "rush" of same and feeling no pain, and his judgement processes are as short term as you would expect a cokehead's to be.
Perhaps then Mr. Porter took his prized cocaine and as was his habit in the past, inserted in his rearmost body cavity for "safekeeping". Now a brief review of any decent anatomy text will reveal that this rearmost body cavity is extremely lengthy. However, Mr. Porter's hands are nowhere near as long and given their awkward positioning for this task he would without tools be barely able to insert it in said rearmost body cavity, never mind insert it far enough into said rearmost body cavity to avoid detection.
This part of the Northside appears not to have received sanitary sewer service until 1937, thank you FDR and the WPA. Much of that 1930s plumbing is still intact, and as such the plunger is standard issue in homes such as this deteriorating rental property. Perhaps Mr. Porter remembers the previous failure of his cocaine storage strategy and the limitation of his own hands in more deeply storing said cocaine beyond the reach of the gloved hands of public employees stuck performing such searches.
So perhaps Mr.Porter, in a split second of drug induced "inspiration", seizes upon this lowly tool and puts it to work. But perhaps also Mr. Porter, in racing fear of getting busted again and already under the influence of cocaine and who knows what else, botched the job.
And perhaps when this "safe" storage strategy failed, Mr. Porter grabbed the currently popular "rape" alibi and ran with it?
Over and over, it appears, local community leaders rally around a poster boy
of criminal behavior, and his jailhouse allegations. Over and over, such words
are treated like Gospel by a coalition of local preachers as publicity, and
photo-ops, abound.
I continue to be amazed at CUAPB's failure to properly investigate the allegations they trumpet. I have an excellent view of the drug house in question, and may be an eyewitness to the "incident". Yet no one from CUAPB has interviewed me or even contacted me.
Certain cops make high-risk entries into criminal lairs on behalf of a much
broader community. They take huge risks to enforce the law against organized
cocaine selling; and the gun violence that accompanies it. They do this 40 hours
a week. It is their job. They rarely, if ever, are given credit for the
danger they face; over and over.
This was indeed a drug house, and since the bust we've slept well in the homes nearby. The bust confirmed my suspicions that this drug house was wholesaling tp street dealers as well as retailing- last night the dealers indicated they were out drugs and inquired if I had any to sell!
Now, let one serial cocaine seller, and Moon crackstasher with possible
diaper rash, allege that the police violated him. Place him on a platform of media
coverage, to swoon into the arms of the most strident civil critics of our
police force. Pat his head as he cries to high heaven how brutal "those" people
are to him.
Agreed- I'm amazed at the way some of our local leaders have fallen for Mr. Porter's suspect story.
Drug addicts and sellers will do, and say, anything, and everything, to "get
away" with it. Former addicts to the drug would attest to that fact. I am sure
someone, among the fair minded, righteous, and reverend critics of our police
force, might have some first hand experience with coke. He could probably
tell all about how low the devil-cocaine can lead an individual.
Amen!
In the mean time I will consider the source and not jump to damning
conclusions regarding the narcotics raid; nor the policemen who's forced entry was MOST
likely only through the doors of the drug house.
A drug house so obvious it begged to be busted.
