Report Abuse

If the US Marshalls didn't let multiple offense convicted felons who are indicted once again run the streets for a year after they are raided, and firearms and herion were found in their home, they wouldn't be searching for them now. It is crazy that you will do jail time for a simple misdeameanor but you can get indicted and convicted of selling drugs/marijuana/herion to children and you don't even get house arrest and you can set at the school yards and watch games and be free. Drug dealers are the root of all evil and shouldn't run the streets! If we didn't have drug dealers on the streets then we wouldn't have people on drugs, crack whores, or nearly as many worthless parents! Oh and I think the person they are trying to find is Donald Gaschler!
