Freeway Rick was not handpicked to sell some new drug lol. Simple economics. Cocaine was getting cheaper, thus more pure, and cooking it into adulterated freebase gave you a cheap product that could compete with heroin amongst low income drug users.
You think Ollie North and his cohorts sat around figuring out how to cook crack and what neighborhoods it would sell in? They were pretty busy with what they were doing and not only that but they got caught and embarassed themselves and REagans presidency. Some grand conspiracy...
Jerry Heller and/or Eazy must have contributed money to the Republicans. That's how you get invited to these things. GW Bush, etc, especially in a pre-internet world had no idea who he was and likely, didn't much care. It's a fucking fundraiser! You need money, If someone objectionable is there you dont even want to know about it and if its uncovered you claim you never knew and return the money, if there was any.
It is really not that complicated.
Also, if you have some grand conspiracy to use Eazy E to corrupt black youth...why invite him to a White House fundraiser and shake his hand???????
Couldn't some "men in black" have just showed up at his office/home/supermarker aisle and given him an envelope with cash and/or blackmail photographs? Couldn't some random white guy have started playing ball on the same court, i.e. Belly?
What kind of Skull & Bones masterminds decide to hatch nefarious secret society plans involving a gheri curled street criminal who you intend to use as an unwitting patsy before secretly infecting him with a deadly virus...then invited him to an official fundraiser and shakes his hand on camera????
