SandBox Comments: Aspen Daily News/Chad Abraham "Father’s letter leads to major local drug bust"

This post is going to be hard for'SandBox Nanny'.  Her followers will likely feel similar.

If you have followed us for the past two years, then you know how loyal all of us are to our everyday heroes in law enforcement and related fields. 

You also know, or have guessed and put 2+2 together, that 'Nanny' has good reason to do the opposite and just cause to turn her back rather than support. 

Instead, she has often posted her belief that there is never, ever a reason that is worthy of suing any law enforcement agency or officer.  She does not personally believe in it.  She also has oft posted her personal support for law enforcement and military service.

Not to our law enforcement.  But to 'Anonymous'.

Our local and regional law enforcement is not deserving of thanks in this bust. 

In fact, they are not deserving of thanks for any bust or any insight they have gleaned from commentary or other 'anonymous' media that has resulted  in a bust or help to an investigation.

Why?

Because all those cops and agencies have the majority of the citizens they swore to serve and protect still out here living in the shadows and afraid to speak up.

Chad Abraham:
"The investigation that led to one of Aspen’s largest narcotic busts in recent memory began when a local father wrote an anonymous letter to police saying the defendant in the case sold drugs to his teenage daughter....

.....“I am an anonymous concerned father who is writing to warn you of a drug dealer living in Aspen,” the letter says. “After a thorough investigation I have found out the following about the drug dealer.”

The letter writer then names Simmons, and provides his Park Circle address and his phone number. The writer even lists the substance that Simmons allegedly used to “cut” the drugs to make them more profitable.

Simmons was connected to another drug defendant, Max Puder, 18, of Aspen, through Puder’s cell phone, the warrant says. Puder was arrested for allegedly selling ecstasy Dec. 16 outside the Belly Up, and the charges against him will be...."  (Read more?  Click title)
