He must have thought he was a regular Einstein with that string trick. “If a copper pulls me over he will look in my pockets but will never notice this string tied to my belt that goes into my pants and underwear tied to a bag of meth.” Or maybe he was hiding it from other tweakers? Whatever. He will be out trying new tricks on an hour or two.

Kym, how come no reporting on stabing at target? From what I read, kid looks like scary member of a hate group. Forgot the name though. A guy back east killed his gf’s parents and has ties to this small hate group. Check it out.
