Not so on the Down Low

An Investigative Look in to a South Crackhouse

Tara  Corea
To know the hood, the streets, its roads, music, gangs, prisons and youth you have to know it's lingo. This was professionally and politely explained by
SEAN Combs aka P. Diddy as he sided with icon MARTHA Stewart while they whipped up some thing yummy on the MARTHA morning show before moving onto Arts and Crafts. More importantly... Diddy explained "you'd want to know if some one is scheming against you
it's like learning a second language."

This MARTHA Stewart segment was aired a year before her incarceration and from a lingo that changes daily it is some thing that may befuddle some police work. With anti crime and gang units its certainly a required necessity in the criminal world of narcotics and fire arms and much
needed info from prison guards whose work related world consumes their personal life, the job is so overwhelming and one can not
help but pick up new dialogue or the lingo as it hits the world on the out side.

CourtTV Suburban Secrets forensic investigative series recently premiered the small town of Conway, South Carolina
as mentioned in my earlier piece " War Is Bringing Home Serial Killers... Like America Doesn't Have Enough Of Them Already "
Six months ago I kept the eye on this small town which is taking no crap even though it just recently has been overwhelmed after four years of avoiding
violence, weapons, gangs, and drug epidemics and the negative criminal media because there was so little of it.
Even though I lived in NYC I didn't get to vist any crackhouses and from actual footage I may have caught on television, I wondered ....
does all crackhouses look the same, dilapidated filthy with a I just don't give a fuck state of mind? This piece stems from my article Pistola.

BET ... American Gangster is revisiting it's situations, we're just taking it down South. Remember the incident in New York where some drug dealers imprisoned this homeless man in an abandoned first floor bricked and gated building and then chained his room sector with only a slot size opening to sell drugs for them. His meals were usually thrown threw the slots. This man was being held against his will... you know the definition for slavery. Crack IS whack
look at the conditions of these places. 5:50am Vested and layered in Banana Republic guerilla war gear a Dundee hat and Gladiator boots because of big snakes I roamed. Take note that for some reason the crackheads and the runners/clockers
do not mind being photographed.

Notice if you will when approaching the property of the crackhead estates pictured above there is a NO TRESPASSING sign
That sign is meant only for the Po-Po/ Law Enforcement obviously not customers and druggies. The property you see here is his.
Let's just call this drug abusing Shot Caller crackhead Snake. . .
