Thanks NNY,
West Indian Archie would be ashamed of the people in this story.."caught with slips/tickets?"
Good article. Pizza mentioned how ingrained some of this stuff is in the cultures of some places. I bet you most of the people arrested are regular people, working ,paying taxes.....and with a STRAIGHT FACE will wonder what they did wrong?
When recent immigrants are caught by cops in cockfighting(pause) events....they have the same confusion.
I used to see stores/bodegas in certain neighborhoods where there is NO inventory. & few customers..and I just assumed that they were moving drugs there(to be able to pay the store rent)..but apparently they are running numbers or have gambling spot there)
