@@ruslankazimov622 Aristotle explained in great detail the theory of revolution. It is his study of nearly 158 constitutions that helped him understand the implications of revolutions on a political system.
Ik this a joke but needles aren't as common as you think because with needles the high isn't as long and it's hard to inject. In areas with lots of drug use you see a lot of needles because their trying to be sterile.
My high school math teacher was very concerned when she found out how quickly my friend could do gram to ounce conversions. Nothing ever came of it though.
"They need money. Mommy and daddy ain't got no money" There it is folks. For a lot of people they see no clear way out if poverty and would rather risk crime than try and scratch an honest living knowing full well its a dead end job.
So you’re blaming the daddy/mommy for not finding a good job in a highly competitive world or the child for wanting money ? there it is folks, the world sucks so much these days because lazy people are not “scratching a living”
@firstname mclast this fast brain fart is just another example of why the world is such a shitty place I’m certain none of you privileged nancy boys watched the whole video and if any of you did see it till the end, I’m certain they didn’t get it.
@@MollTheLioness yes its obviously the system’s fault. But he didn’t blame it on the system he instead blamed it on people for not “scratching an honest living” scratching he said, as if good paying jobs were abundant and the system was not rigged
@firstname mclast no matter what it was. You know you’re so angry at those kids because you know if they had what you had they could have done it better than you did, mama’s boy...
If the police a “really really good at catching drug dealers” how is it that you can’t walk 300 meters down Main Street in Camden without being offered drugs at least 10 times?
I cried my eyes out when I saw the news story in my childhood neighborhood about a 5 year old that was running heroin for his uncle and was stabbed and set on fire by some fucking junkies. The story is part of the reason I worked so hard to stay in my treatment. I was an IV heroin addict. I realized I couldn't be a part of that. I'll be 6 years clean this May.
@@maxkhunglo6211 people can get addicted to anything. Laws against "drugs" only benifit certain people. They don't care about people's health. If they did they would spend money on rehab and not home invasions.
@@myopinionwhileIcanstillhaveone so your saying, it's better to solve the latter than the former. Let people become edicts than treat them. Won't that never solve the issue, if you don't solve the root cause(no offense)?!
@@maxkhunglo6211 if you don't want addicts then you need educational programs, better social workers, less stress, better social nets, and much more. Yet being used as a political puppet and exploited to generate revenue is not on that list. People don't need to be terrorized they need help.
Same things happening in the US. Small towns that used to be propped up by a few mills/factories are now drug dealing and using hotbeds because the industry is gone. It’s like watching an entire community slowly die, it’s sad. Unfortunately when economics for an entire community are going bad, the first people to suffer are the vulnerable. This of course includes children, the mentally ill, and the elderly. I can’t tell you how many old folks in my area, Western Pennsylvania, have been popped for selling hard drugs. In the future we will definitely question why we continued such futile policy for so long. This series is AWESOME by the way. Keep it up Vice!
@@Kenji-ug5bo Yup, it's economically feasible and socially responsible. Enough studies exist to indicate that legalizing and regulating is the right choice.
When I was a heroin addict just before I stopped 15yrs ago County liners came up to my small town, they didn't recruit kids, they were in their 20s and recruited addicts instead. What surprised me the most is that when this suddenly started happening the quality of heroin went down rather than going up like I'd have thought
The best is when you hear a little kid probably 10 or 11 on a bicycle ask you what you want when you're walking by in Cincinnati. The dealers make the kids run it to the fiend because the kid is less likely to be looked at by the cops. And if the kid brings in 500 in a day he probably gets to keep like 30 of it. But 30 bucks makes you feel rich when you're 10 years old. And then thats how they get them, then odds are they will be dealing for their lifetime, and the cycle continues.
the comment i was looking for. im 27 and this was how life was in the southern US growing up and the problem started wayyy before that. you dont need a work permit to sell drugs at 14.

This episode is the most bleak yet. Exploiting children in such a manipulative way is so despicable. Makes me feel both disgusted and fearful that people can be so evil.
This happens everywhere. Kids are intrigued by guns and violence no matter what their social class. They line up to get exploited and usually exploit their own children. It's disgraceful.
I'm concerned this is happening in my small country town in Vic. Australia. Things seem to have amplified during the whole lock down experience with teenagers in my area probably due to boredom and dissalusionment. The local street drug house has had an influx of younger and younger kids rolling up daily. The other day all the young usually well behaved kids on my block (the ones from 'good homes') were out the front of my place acting unusually ridiculous and out of control and character. When I asked what was going on they told me they were on (and had recently been dabbling) in "special k" - these were 10, 11 and 13 year old boys... innocent 3 weeks ago a 12 year boy was stabbed in a horrific attack with a teenage drug dealer and died. It's scary that access to drugs is so easy and the exploitation of children so young is happening everywhere these days. Best we be ahead of the curve....
Goes back further than the late 90s for sure. I saw all this going on in the late 80s and had to move away from Essex in the early 90s when I was 11yo due to all this, mostly due to concern from parents and family, personally I was having the time of my life and miss those days TBH. We were mostly selling white and dark, but smoking hash, doing trips etc.. ourselves, summer was real busy in seaside towns due to all the tourists, we just used to hang around the arcades all day looking for customers. Always older people staying in bedsits while we went out to sell. Not much the police can do to young kids, and we all knew it.
Back in 2004 I used to live in London and I use to smoke white and brown .... I remember during summer one kid like 8 max 10 yo , come to us down the block of hackney to sell ball... in September I saw him on his school uniform ... was so sad and strange to my eyes ... and now watching this video I go straight back to those good old days.... ! Almost 20 years gone but not much change !
Not specifically related to only this video, but the setting (the old TVs and so on) for the talking head shoot of the narrator is really cool. Kudos to who came up with that idea.
I think culture over time that's affected everyone. Social media, culture, sexuality, enhanced drugs, etc. has caused a downward spiral. What we used to think as bad 20 years ago is okay now. What we believed 20 years ago as good is now bad. I can see a pendulum eventually soon going back. I miss living in the 90's.
@bruhmcbruhface yea, that's right. It's the same thing. Only back then a lot of time kids sold drugs to feed their families and survive and to take care of mama and their siblings cuz daddy was gone. Now they sell drugs cuz that's the cool way to get the newest sneakers or a watch, or Mercedes. I know they bought nice things back then too, but a lot of the time they had started selling for a better reason, and out of necessity.
11:50 - well said, all the government needs to do in Britain is maintain the status quo of the criminal prohibition of recreational drugs and I guarantee you in 20 years time nothing will have changed. The war on drugs is a war without end.
Short Documentary about kids in uk county lines Americans: wE'VE BeEn DoING tHaT OvEr HeRE lol 😂😂😂Yankees be proud of the most weirdest of bs, you lot want cookies or something
"Literally cut the head of the snake." Lady, you don't know what literal means. Unless, wait... Is a snake dealing these drugs? Holy crap. Snakes are dealing drugs in the U.K. That's amazing!
I remember when I met a guy 4 years ago at a job interview and he offered to drop me off home so I agreed and we talked about weed though out the journey so he took down my number and said let's smoke in a few days I'll drive down,and you can show me around your town so I thought nothing of it and agreed , so few days later I got a call that he's nearly there , he pulled up to my house, i jumped in the car and it was him and his girlfriend, but instead of chilling and smoking he gave me 2 ounces of weed wrapped in foil one cheese other haze , basically he wanted me to become a dealer by just giving it to me and making it sound like it's all good just take it , but instead I smoked it gave some to a friend to sell... he smoked it too 😂and the guy knew I was going to leave the country for a holiday and he was still trying to get to me when I was getting into the plane, changed my number and when I returned never saw him again 😂😂😂😂😂
40 years ago dealers just didn't use kids ..was frowned upon within the users community ( brother was a heroin addict ) so something has changed for sure EDIT ( UK )
I'm in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 (the last USA colony but named a Commonwealth) and here's a big drugs trafficking situation, but the code on the streets is against using minors as mules. Some underage guys are into business, get arrested or are gunned down by rivals, but not as young as they said it's in the UK.
@Isabel Gonzalez damn its weird that outside puerto rico, Puerto ricans do use kids of 12 to 16 like in canada usa, at least you keep that mostly outside
county lines is probably one of the best drug stories on the planet. way more interesting than anything happening in the US, it’s obviously very sad but most americans couldn’t picture anything like this happening over there
Listen to the first girl, "I don't remember saying I wanted to hold or sell drugs?" LOL. Yeah right. I started selling weed, cocaine, and ecstasy when I was 13, and I knew what I was holding and selling, she's playing a victim when she made the choice, there are plenty of young girls in her neighborhood who chose not to hang around people and become influenced in that life. What did you think you were selling skittles? Don't be so naive.
The people at the top need to be treated by society like the groomers they are. Instead we give them number ones for their latest record, people don't seem to realise a lot of drill artists are effectively working for these people as propagandists. Makes me sad to see so many young kids literally blasting the sound of child exploitation out of their phone speakers on the bus.
its sadly not just it... when there's a regulated legal drug market, who will benefit the most? in the US, when cannabis was legalized, it was mostly white male entrepreneurs who bought up and dominated the market, while its mostly black people who are in jail for selling or carrying weed...
i was a heroin addict on and off for 10 years. i once got into a car with a fellow friend/addict to pick up. large suv, there was probably 3 people in the car already and then both her and i got in as well. i literally sat next to this kid, and while it's sad i had just assumed he was probably someones son, just along for the ride. i mean i've watched addicts kids for them while they shot up in the other room so it wouldn't have been out of the ordinary. this kid was 9, he actually told me this. i basically found out he was just part of their crew and he was the one actually holding onto the drugs because he was so young, he usually wouldn't be searched. he showed me tattoos he had gotten and talked to me about running dope. this was in burlington, vermont too. small town usa.
Years ago when I was in the thick of it, I was making my rounds looking for pain killers, ran into a friend's cousin who was probably 16 at the time and he said he knew where I could get a large quantity of tabs. So we load up and take a ride. Get to this house and an eleven year old comes out and serves him. According to him the kid was the biggest pill dealer on the block. At the time I was 19, and didn't really care where my drugs came from as long as I got them. Now as a mom of an eleven year old, I'm appalled by my actions. Children should be children! This was small town Alabama. So it's definitely happening in everyone's back yard.
Happens all the time in your neighbor state of NH. My home town is all methheads and junkies. It’s bad, I see people nodding out in their cars with their kids in the backseat crying weekly.
@@jordanforest918 pretty hard to be rational in the midst of an opiate addiction. i get it tho, carried a lot of shame until i realized it did no good to hold on to and i was really no different than any other addict. i wonder if maybe he had a parent with a chronic pain condition and just had full time access to pain meds or something.
@inuent i assume you mean the kid and while i get what you're saying the truth of it is sad af. this kid had no childhood if he was selling heroin at 9.
There’s 2 simple, obvious, effective solutions to this problem... either one will work--- either *end the terroristic war on drugs* or *change the age of adulthood from 18 to 4 years old*
The real problem is the poverty and that the kids have no place to have fun or a real perspective like a apprenticeship that’s why they get sucked in so easily and are being exploited
Bloody brilliant - so so so true! Having worked in youth criminal justice this is a real good compact explanation on the problem. Lots of valid points raised by the experts too
The war on drugs failed decades ago. Imagine the income alone if the government taxes drugs and made sure they were clean and pure. Doing the exact same thing time and time again with the same failed results is literal insanity. A new approach is needed. I don’t know what, but this isn’t working.
This thought occurred to me...they don't bust a town even-though it has brothels and drug dens, kinda like social platforms. Is that the right way to treat social platforms.
its here in Norway as well. in my town their called "løpe gutter". there was a case here where I think about 20 "løpe gutter" or "Runners" beat up a girl for sniching.
