hmmmmm... all have the same in common

Fantastic job to everyone involved in bringing these losers down. Get these scumbags off our streets!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I always wondered, what do they do with the money, weapons and everything else that is seized during one of these busts? I love reading stories like this. Great job all! Reading stories like this makes me regret I didn't go into law enforcement.

Damn right, lock those gangbanging thugs up & throw away the key. Take a look at the "buyers" and then take a look at the "sellers." The buyers should be in treatment. The sellers should ROT in prison for killing our youth. I don't care how much taxpayer money it costs to send them to prison for a decade or so, it's worth it.

Lots of smiling faces.

Lisa, what do the buyers look like and what do the sellers look like?

I hate to break it to you all, but this is a minor hick-up in the grand scheme of drug use and distribution in NJ and I am sure it cost the tax payers dearly. As long as there is a demand for drugs, there will be a supply. Statistically, the war on drugs has been a complete failure sapping billions and billions of dollars from broke tax payers with no discernible decrease in the level of drug use in America. Also, while I do sympathize with anyone who is addicted to anything (including many legal drugs), it is nonetheless a fact that no drug dealer forces a drug user to buy drugs. It is a voluntary transaction that the buyers must take responsibility for. Dealers are not killing anybody; users are killing themselves. And the fact that this transaction is illegal (hence resulting in illicit trafficking) is killing tens if not hundreds of thousands of people per year. Maybe if we did not spend so much money on enforcement prosecution and imprisonment, we could spend a little more money illustrating the detriments and destruction of drug use. If there is no demand, the dealers will go away on their own accord.

This is sad cause half the buyers I went to high school with. Our high school had a lot of problems we would have drug dealers come to the corners of school and sell this crap and our principal knew about it but never did anything about it because he didn't want to ruin the "reputation" of the school. When a person got caught the principal would kick them out, not help and send them to another school like the annex or Neptune. So far two kids in my grade died of overdoses. A lot of these kids got introduced to drugs at the high school. At least they got caught and havn't overdosed hopefully they get the help they need.

Well said Robert.

Is it really necessary to show the photos of the addicts??? Public humiliation, a clear 8th amendment violation. I hope they get good representation.

Yes. You are 100% right suz.

The sad part about this is I know 90% of the mid level people from school and they were not always like this. They are all good people with children. Gangsters??? Not really they are people just like us just making their money other ways. None of them have chargers for robbery or theift which shows their not the people you think would make their money this way. And as far as the buyers i know one of them and she has children that may have not known this is what she was doing and i feel horrible knowing her kids had to possibly find out about a habit this way. Today is a sad day in Long Branch.

Where is Lindsay Lohan's picture? Did she miss out on this party?

yall dont even know them foh , free the BRANCH !!!!

UNA

The funniest thing it usto be the other way around the whte men usto be on the top and the blacks were the buyers it was ok then but now that it the other way around its an EPIDEMIC Im not prejudice but its a SHAME WHEN YOU SEE FATHER MOTHER & KIDS INVOLVED GOINGING INTO METHADONE FACILITIES FOR TREATMENT. If you really knew why they brought heroin in back 70 to 80 yrs ago ALL I CAN SAY TO THE ANCESTORS OF THESE PEOPLE IS........ KARMA

Death penalty to all sellers and this will end.

Could you imagine if you gave the "Death Penalty" to all the lying politicians who run the Country, Towns, Schools. It would end all the problems in the world today. Maybe then this Country, Towns and Schools would turn around. Until then the nonsense will continue.

FREE THE BRANCH !!!!!!!!

Many people keep saying send the buyers to rehab, but many of the "buyers" were low level sellers as well. Who do you think brought the drugs to a party or gave it to a friend? The supposed "buyers" deserve just as much prosecution.

I'm sorry I know two of the girls in the picture n it's so pathetic because their buyers n trying to become nurses probably to steal the patients meds n to work high taking care of people's lives smh what a damn shame .....Ande good luck to the lawyers who represent these fools because after a 8 month investigation where the sellers sold to undercover cops and probably set a bug to listen in on everything ..... N n pictures taking for 8 months .... Yeah that's fine police work god bless n thanks for making surrounding towns safer

This is why u need education children cause idiots always gets caught ... Bragg about that tax free money now when u sit in jail n have to pay your bail ... It's always cool to act invinsible a tough n off a rap video when u have guns n destroying other people's lives but there's someone always above you so your not invinsible your not a boss if you have to look back to make sure noones watching .... Again the law enforcement did a fine job n hope repeat buyers n sellers with guns n harming the public n my own families life's either being high or shooting a stray bullet enjoy Christmas behind bars n snitches get stitches lol merry Christmas delinquents

Like sweeping up the trash. Hey more brothers off the street. Those top and mid levels have a common aspect and it isn't wanted or needed American citizens that we need or want around. Load them up into their holding cells and let the population take care of them so we can stop wasting tax money feeding them food and air.

It sounds like none of y'all have know Wat its like ur lucky n that's awesome that yal e clean but its not always black n white with the buyers anymore,I agree put away the sellers they have to go!¡!¡! For our kids to b safe n grow up having fun playing sports n having fun wit friends not selling n buying drugs,it seems like that's all that's goin on anymore
