[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1432820, member: 27490"] Remember the series "Justified" which was about the drug thugs in Harlan County? It was not as far fetched as some might think. This goes across the news on a regular basis. [url=https://www.justice.gov/usao-edky/pr/berea-pharmacist-found-guilty-illegally-dispensing-hundreds-thousands-prescription]https://www.justice.gov/usao-edky/pr/be ... escription[/url] Regarding Justified: A news reporter who grew up in Harlan County gave this interview. Here is an excerpt: [b]The portrayal of redneck criminals isn't too far fetched. I had classmates in high school with Nazi tattoos and was forced to say goodbye to my best friend at the age of 20, when he died of an OxyContin overdose. My grandfather was dispatcher for the state police post in Harlan during the 70s, during the time portrayed in the Oscar winning documentary entitled Harlan County, USA as well, seeing many of the darker parts of the county first hand.[/b] BTW: the character Mags Bennent was based on the real life Mags Bennent!
