I wonder what the bozo left behind that made it so easy to identify them? They're actually lucky. If this were my house, they would be dead on my floor.

It's a darn shame the lady didn't have ol' Mossberg or Remington at the ready.

It's a shame that the victims didn't have a gun and shoot both of them. They will never amount to a hill of beans nor be a productive member of society and we have way tooooo many like that already. Time for an open season with no limit jackkcharl@aol.com

Odds are they previously bought pills or other drugs from the person they invaded.How else would they know there were 140 Oxycontin?The victim here is peddling dope.

Maybe, or did they find an old prescription bag in the garbage? These people find all sorts of ways to get their drugs.

This picture must be of them in their disguises. They did a pretty good job!

the victim does sell pills--she's on disability, buys the pills at the pharmacy for 10c and sells them for $5 each--she wouldn't give them "credit" so they came back and robbed her, and she was stupid enough to call the cops, but now her disability/ pill scam is up, and these junkies are going away for a while--hopefully long enough to straighten out

So, we've now defined what "trouble" looks like. Well, we'll just look around on Facebook, MySpace and all over the net and lock up everyone that looks like "trouble". Then we can ask Big Brother to put up a $hitload of cameras like England with facial recognition (oh, that's right, New York's already doing that) and spot the rest of the "trouble". Should be able to clear up 99% of the crime in say, oh 2 months?

Darn glad you can't see me sitting here on the weekend unshaven, hell, I look like "trouble".

I see the WBOC story ignores the fact that this is a "prescription drug diverter/dealer robbed" story, and portrays the socalled victim as an inniocent. She is a dealer, who sells the pills she was robbed of. That doen't discount the violent junkie thug robbery aspect of the crime, but I hope the cops read this blog and are investigating the supposedly "disabled" victim who sells her pills. That kind of behavior is why people with genuine chronic pain have great difficulty getting medicated properly by their paranoid doctors.

Thats why people with real pain cannot get the pain relief they need.Where I live there are ALOT of "pillheads" so doctors are loathe to prescribe anything narcotic.Thanks addicts!

PS Not to sound superficial RE looks but the man in the 1st photo is CLEARLY an addict.He has the hollowed out look that addicts get.The 2nd guy hasnt been using long,but he will eventually be emaciated too.

I wonder if they would have been locked up if someone had called the cops and said "they stole my pot, cocaine, etc. . " instead of pills. Damn the difference!

DSP aren't stupid--there has been traffic in and out of that pill house aplenty--I'd hope they are investigating just why a person living on "disability" welfare had a bunch of cash and way more pills than most any kind of chronic pain gets written for.
They know she is a prescription diverter--pretty sad that Medicaid paid for by all of us ribbed by the government taxpayers gives mooch drug dealers like her fat scripts like that for 50 cents.
How did those dope fiends know what they would find there anyway?
Totmom's speculation was right on--the neighbors all kniw something fishy was going on there.I can't wait to see the story reported that she was busted for prescription fraud/doctor shopping and diversion of her prescription.
Isn't there a new database that reports and collates all schedule 4 narcotics prescriptions in Delaware that is designed to cath frauds like her?
She shot herself in the foot repporting that her customers ripped her off, I'd hope.
Come on, DSP, do some work and bust this socalled "victim" for the disability fraud-pill dealer that she is.
Interview the neighbors, review the pharmacy records, compare her welfare income with the cash lifestyle she leads.
Let's clean up this prescription drug misuse so patients with real pain can get the treatment they need without being treated like guilty junkies.
Those fiends wouldn't be strung out on the stuff if people like her weren't abusing the system and selling their pills, paid for by Medicaid, creating addicts like the ones who couldn't meet her price/terms and do a deal so they robbed her instead.
Why do you think they call it dope?
