And I would argue against the idea that all the buyers are "from the suburbs" as people like to claim. The people buying live right next store to the people selling. Me: Mark you are only partly correct. According to the stats, 60% of the people buying the drugs drive in from the suburbs or other rural areas in Minnesota and Wisconsin. 40% are local. Perhaps if the dealers set up satellite operations at Ridgedale or Southdale or the Eden Prairie Center it would be more convenient for them and our incidents of violence would decrease dramatically.
