the point was 'we' in that area didn't need to buy our drugs on the street b/c the dealers would come to us. so that dealer wasn't gonna make much coin standing on a sidewalk in Lakeview whispering about rocks. he'd be better off in some other neighborhood where ppl go to buy drugs on the street.

and $10K/day in heroin sounded like a fantastical amount to me. i was stunned! i felt like i was in the wrong business. but then, maybe not. b/c i've never been charged w/murder like that guy i represented.
