    Game was busted here this weekend. I've been invited to several times by some people that play with me sometimes. I was weary of it because it's in a very high traffic area and a lot of people knew about it.

    lol..........

    Self justification to the public. GENERALLY the amount of 'bad' or 'immoral' information that is released to the media is directly proportioned with public support for the law enforcement agencies used.

    The public pays taxes and they vote.

    This game was probably known about for some time. Maybe the public felt that not enough was being done to combat 'crime' in the community. Maybe the public is against gambling in that area.

    By portraying the accused as bootlegging, womanizing, gun toting gamblers, as opposed to poker players, pressure is placed upon whatever judge hears this case. It also makes the cops looks like heros, instead of the Gustapo.

    I was at a local poker tournament last year that got busted up. It was some pretty scary shit. 10-12 storm troopers with a gun in your face is not my idea of entertainment. There were a hundred of us and one by one they went to each guy and took all the money that we had on us, in addition to the $300 buy-in. The funny thing, was that the cards weren't even in the air yet. We were all sittin there eating banquet chicken. Fortunately only the organizers got into any kind of trouble.
