Lets see what kind of photo op the strongsville police make out of this,they will act like there superior investigative powers found the lab.when they really found it the ole BARNEY FIFE way It,ll be like the old days when elliot ness or j.edgar would be on the on the front page with axe in hand chopping up some still they just found, when we all know that 99% of police work is paying a snitch,the other 1% is the BARNEY FIFE way L.M.F.A.O.

I agree like the show the first 48 on A&E the investigaters never really do anything but sit back and after the case air the news people call and start snitching..they get one person name and he tell on everybody.. so there is no great detective work... but its a good show check it out thursday nights

booey420 says...

They already got the photo op.I was watching the news at 11pm last night,and they had cops in white suits and yellow caution tape out in front of the house roping it off.

cretin216 says...

apparently RTA is expanding its routes to Strongsville.

Kingston7 says...

That's a lot of meth labs, who's using that junk?

alphawolf says...

Another Strongsville business closes its doors. Neighborhood blight to follow.

bbc2 says...

Meth lab found in the SUBURB--get it right, don't blame the CITY for this crime. And why are THESE people not charged?

r139 says...

Strongsville? Check your sources Plain Dealer!!! This must be a misprint or mistake.

baqtpie says...

The use of meth is out of control as stated. God bless our men and woman in blue for risking thier lives to save ours.

Vicknows says...

I hear you about Snitches, but is it someone doing there civic duty to report this , if you see a killing and someone is murdered and you report it. are you a snitch?, People snitch on all the violent crimes you can, and be a snitch, drugs in my neighborhood, you are going to jail, are people afraid of idiots out there or afraid to be called a snitch? probably both, police are not castopol, if they were I would have a problem with that, they rely on the community to be involved if you don't then we become victims to quickly and end up like the ghetto's that you complain about

cleveslim says...

if this were in cleveland everyone in the house would be in jail right now. their pictures would be all over the paper, the mayor would have made a statement about his new anti-meth initiative and there would be 50+ comments here as opposed to 10. hmmm... wonder why?

candor40 says...

Vicknows,....What the hell is castopol???? i just got out my dictionary,and there aint nary such a word. It must mean something stupid if got you so uptight, and postulating like. What you dont like no one ranking on the BARNEY FIFES ??Get real dope is a victimless crime, what people do to there own body is there own business. Did you know that suicide is against the law?? But they have been having trouble convicting anyone so far

SolarSun says...

I think she meant Gestapo?

Face31 says...

good point CLEVESLIM... this blogger is rather light on the comments

lakewood216 says...

I'm surprised that people are surprised about a meth lab in Strongsville. Strongsville has had a meth-head contingent for a while now..a small one, but it's there. There are few meth labs in places like the East Side of Cleveland. You're more likely to see meth users in places like Lakewood (sad to say) and even Strongsville than you are somewhere like Hough or Mt. Pleasant.

R139, you shouldn't be surprised..not at all. I can't think of a single West Side suburb that doesn't have at least a small (and probably growing) meth-head population...Bay Village, maybe?

Cretin216, the RTA has been going to Strongsville for years, sorry to burst your bubble.

Scrivo says...

candor40, drugs are not a victimless crime. The addiction causes them to lose everything then they turn to crime so they can afford the drugs. They will do anything to get high again...even if that means stealing or killing.

Be a snitch, a Barney Fife or whatever you want to call it. There is no shame in exposing criminals. It's easy to commit crimes...anyone can do it. Instead, try playing by the rules for a change and watch some addict take it all away from you in an instant because they just want to feel good again.

cleveslim says...

yo yo yo, whyz yallz not beez makin commentz about da thugz from da ville ( not glenville) ? dont be bringin dat mef stuff to da hood. itz bad. make yo teef fall out. guess dey thinks it aint safe to be comin to da clair to buy, might get a cap in yo @ss, so dey stay and cook it at da crib. dont be hittin yo baby momma for not boostin enuff sudafed when you got a lab set up. where r da parents of deez animalz?

phonyname says...

You're right, Lakewood216, there is tremendous opportunity in Lakewood for Meth-Labs. This might be a good way to utilize some of those dumpy rental properties. Does section8 provide money for lab equipment?

Vicknows says...

I am sorry I did not spell it right, Solarsun thank you for the right spelling, your right , I did type to fast , but drugs is not a victimless crime, I never heard the term , some people do not realize that drug activity is from the suburbs as well, if you read the news in the last few months they are making the drugs outside of cleveland then they employ young kids to sell it inside of Cleveland, you will not see kids standing outside in the suburbs selling it, in Cleveland it is a normal thing, this is old news. but your comments do worry me

lakewood216 says...

Scrivo, the reason people steal and kill to get meth is due to artificial scarcity and high prices caused by prohibition. You don't see people kill to obtain tobacco or alcohol.

lakewood216 says...

Phonyname, I thought that only crack dealers/users got Section 8..hmm. Well, at least according to some of the more race-obsessed right-wing posters here.

mindgame says...

The is a word (CASTROPOL) which is a small municipality in Asturias ,Spain.

usermyname says...

Speaking of stupidity. Some of the comments here are some of the most ignorant I have ever heard. A ton of stuff happens in the suburbs that people NEVER hear about, and NEVER will. It is called need to know basis. Meth labs are all over the place, so are drug dealers, and other scurges of society. Living in the burbs doesn't exempt you from anything. Get off your "victimless crime" , single, needs to grow up ass, and wake up ! How about the drunk who beats his kids, and wife on a regular basis. The junkie who would rather get high than feed his kids. " Victimless crime." Gimme a break. You need to lay off the pipe.

candor40 says...

Usermyname HOW can you even have an opinion? You have USER in your name. you must be a victimless crime
