The Weekend
I don’t know what to do tonight. Yesteday after class, I went home. Later that night I went to go see “American Gangster” with a friend of mine. I really liked the movie. I thought that the actors did a good job, and that the story was really interesting. It was about a man named Frank Lucas who sold heroin during the 80s. He was a big drug dealer that use to import his merchandise from Vietnam. This was possible by the help of his cousin’s ex-husband, who was part of the military. They would send the drugs inside dead soldiers’ coffins. He eventually got caught because a cop found out where he hid all of his drugs. When the police caught him, they seized over 250 million dollars in assets. Frank Lucas was supposed to end up serving 70 years in jail, but got it reduced to 15 years after snitching on corrupt cops. When he got out of jail after serving 3 years, he went back into the drug game, and was sentenced to serve another 7 years. I don’t know why people don’t just become good after going to jail. Jail is not a place that I would ever like to go to. Oh well, I think I’m going to get off of here now. I’m going to call up my friends and see what they are doing. Have fun, bye!
