[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am regularly in both places on Friday afternoons, and have never noticed people loitering around there.[/quote]

You really think they'd be that obvious?  If so, I guess we're all safe.  Wrap.  Next story...[/quote]

Where exactly do you think they're going to hang out near the martial arts studio without anyone noticing them? There are classes going on all afternoon after school gets out, there are lots of parents walking through the halls, and waiting outside while their kids take classes. Constantly people going up and down the stairs, and in and out of the bathrooms.

As for the parking garage, it's entirely possible they're hanging out in cars waiting for customers and I haven't noticed them for that reason. But if that's what's going on, it means they're not [b]randomly soliciting your kid[/b] who's just there to buy some Yoo-hoo. Your kid would need to be actively seeking it out and know where to find them.  And if your kid is sufficiently into it that he knows how to find the dealer, simply getting the dealer out of the parking garage isn't going to solve your problem.[/quote]

Does this even happen? Many drug dealers are dumb but few are this dumb. [/quote]

In the town I grew up in, this happened a lot. even maybe 10 years ago people might mutter "marijuana?" as you walk by. (Haven't noticed it the last few visits. Maybe I'm too old, or the town became too yuppy/health-foodish.) I can picture kids offering drugs to other random kids at malls. Most of them aren't going to go straight to the cops, nor would much happen if they did, I'm guessing. Probably more likely if the sellers are black in a white neighborhood.[/quote]

Are you familiar with the Lee-Harrison shopping center? Given that DWB is still kind of a thing in North Arlington, I doubt a black guy loitering around L-H is going to last very long before someone is asking questions.[/quote]

Who said anything about a black guy? Most drug dealers are white.[/quote]

I misread the pp's comment about sellers being black. Sorry about that. [/quote]
