No more Osprey ride for me
 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Federal agents raided a Boeing plant that makes military helicopters in suburban Philadelphia on Thursday and charged more than three dozen people with distributing or trying to get prescription drugs, among them powerful painkillers. The arrests were made by the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration at the 5,400-employee plant in Ridley Park, where workers build aircraft including the H-47 Chinook helicopter
and the V-22 Osprey. The plant, part of Boeing's Defense, Space and
Security unit, is also the headquarters for its Rotorcraft division. It did not appear to be an organized drug ring, but rather a "nebulous" series of independent actors, authorities said. "These sales placed the individual abusers, as well as society at large, at risk," said DEA agent Vito S. Guarino. http://news.yahoo.com/dozens-arrested-drug-raid-boeing-plant-173952774.html |

"These sales placed the individual abusers, as well as society at large, at risk," Thats funny, cause there are 1000's of people taking them right now because their doctor told them to.

With the area that Boeing is placed, this doesn't surprise me at all.
If you want to see crime, google Chester, PA. The place is a giant turd among shit holes. Boeing located itself in the pig shitter. |

The show ain't over yet. From what I hear the total will be over 70 people, that was the day work crew they popped today, still have 3-11 and 11-7 shifts that they picked up too. Looks like 70 or so jobs will be opening up. Fucking idiots.

3 dozen out of 5400 employees.
Cripes we have more drug abusers just on the floor, anybodies guess how many are in management. Caterpillar decided to implement random drug screens because the problem is becoming an issue. |

When I used to frequent some more than shady internet forums there were ALWAYS more than a few chronic junkies from Philly. I guess it's as much a shithole as my relatives who live there tell me all the time

It never is even with a doctor looking at it. However, your chances of it working as it is intended are much higher when you have a medical specialist evaluate things. Your average person may not understand dosage etc, or how all of the systems interact and as a result make things way worse. But whatever. |

I've never understood the allure of abusing vicodin. It's mostly tylenol, and doesn't do squat to me aside from kill headaches.
Self-medicating for a reason does not bother me, but the recreational use is just retarded. |
