Since 2005, average heroin seizures have grown in Charlotte by an incredible 233 percent, from 214 grams to 714. A single dose is usually one 10th of a gram.
The Drug Enforcement Administration reports that during 2008 alone, heroin seizures across North Carolina increased by 77 percent over the previous year.
The Mexican cartels are sending massive amounts of heroin into North Carolina which is produced from opium from poppy fields throughout western Mexico. With Charlotte now the main distribution center for Mexico’s black tar heroin, the drug is more than plentiful inside the city, and the cost is a mere $12.50 a dose.
That tremendous supply streaming into Charlotte is fueling a rapidly growing demand which is having a devastating effect on many of the city’s residents.
The McCleod Addictive Disease Center in Charlotte reports that they now see 15 to 20 new patients daily, seeking treatment for heroin addiction. The center’s program manager, Ronnie Bradley says that in 2008, that number was only seven or eight.
In 2009, Charlotte Police Captain Mike Adams told the Charlotte Observer that heroin addiction among the city’s youth population is becoming a major problem. Capt. Adams said: “A lot of what we deal with is teens, is high school.”
On April 11, 2008, the U.S. Justice Department’s National Drug Intelligence Center released a situation report, illustrating just how widespread the activities of Mexican drug cartels have become throughout the U.S.
The sobering assessment read: “Mexican DTO’s (Drug Trafficking Organizations) are the most pervasive organizational threat to the United States. They are active in every region of the country and dominate the illicit drug trade in every area except the Northeast.”
That same report said that both the Sinaloa and Juarez Cartels now operate in Charlotte.
Another symptom of Charlotte’s growing cartel activity is which has become all too commonplace in border states like Texas and Arizona…kidnapping.
On September 29, 2009, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police arrested previously deported illegal alien, Ruben Garcia-Rosario, 25. He was charged with two counts of attempted first-degree kidnapping, felony conspiracy, carrying a concealed weapon, and driving without a license.
The Mexican national was planning to kidnap two sisters, ages 7 and 8, and hold them for a six-figure ransom.

Ah, again we are treated to another shining example of the sort of 'family values' that Jorge Wmd Boosch, Darth Cheney, Newt Gingrich, Juan McAmnestyMcCain, Dicky Army and the rest of these filthy, treasonous neo-cons told us: do not stop at the Rio Grande!
Also, I wonder if the black city councilman who was revealed to be responsible for pressuring the hotel to cancel their contract with the American Renaissance Conference - might have any links to any of these nefarious sounding activities?
Hunch: This is the sort of nation we can expect, when and if it becomes a majority black and mexican nation, people. Is this what we want for our kids and grandkids?
Diversity. Don'tcha love it? Is there not one safe haven left here in our country from these gouls? Politicians have blood on their hands for not securing our border from the 3rd world cesspool to the South. It's a wonder they sleep at night.
