NorthPark Scare Reminds Us 'Suspicious White Powder' is Sometimes Just Cocaine

Categories: Crime

Recent anthrax scares at preschools, synagogues, government offices, and just about anywhere else the U.S. Postal Service will deliver a white powder-filled envelope, not to mention the panting media coverage, has people on edge, calling in the cavalry at the sight of powdered sugar. Or blow.

Dallas Fire Rescue's Haz-Mat team was called out last night to a pile of white powder found just in front of the ticket counter at the AMC Theatre. Officials determined, after rigorous testing, that the substance was cocaine.

Which raises two questions. One, if your intention was to freak people out, don't you know that baking soda's cheaper? And two, what movie did you decide would go better with cocaine? Battleship? The Avengers? No, that can't be right. Ah, there's the one.

This was an obvious plant. Placed there by operatives working for the NorthPark Center to create more suspicion of those that they deem as the "undesirables".

Dallas cocaine? That means it was mostly dewormer, baby laxative, vitamin C, and 2% cocaine

And in a related story, ten kids were arrested at the mall after playing a game of wheelbarrow, but in their version, the 'wheelbarrow' person was dragged behind the 'farmer' so his nose was on the floor to suck up the cocaine.

We were wondering all night what we'd missed (saw the HazMat trucks blazing toward the mall as we were leaving).  Crazy.

The dude tossed the coke because the helicopters had been following him around all day.
