if you wanted it immediately, i could probably still get it for you.
operation: sudden fall failed. some people will say that the purpose of it was to scare students straight, get them to think twice before buying drugs, etc. but all it did was make dealers and users distrustful of new people. all it did was stem the growth of major buyers and dealers.
and it created a huge gap between the druggies and the suppliers that was quickly filled by young enterprising opportunists looking for some spending money.
additionally, all the praise for president stephen weber has been sorely misplaced. even he admitted that he was unaware of the agents' presence until shortly before the morning raid.
i think the entire raid was poorly planned. it seems as though the DEA wasnt interested in pursuing the case until its true end. instead they were more interested in snatching the college kids they could get for minor possession charges. "but they put in a year of work," many will claim. however, a year for an undercover narcotics case is nothing.
one year for what is now hailed as the largest west coast college drug raid is minimal.
truthfully the whole operation disgusts me. and now, as more facts emerge, the audacity of the agents and their informants isn't even coming into question. the DA has already choked on his words and no one has caught it.
anyway, here's a great article from the recent San Diego CityBeat by Eric Wolff; it's informative and interesting, check it out.
