On the recordApril 11, 2000
I was reading a newspaper article out of Virginia where they had arrested a suspect for possession of narcotics. The amount of narcotics in the possession of this individual was quite significant. It was not just a baggy; it was like a truckload. In the past, any time that this kind of thing had happened before, any time that an individual with this much narcotics in his possession had been arrested, they had found a weapon with him. So they kept looking, because the police naturally assumed that he had to have one. When they did not find it initially, they kept pressing. Then they kept pressing him as to where it was, essentially why he did not have it. This went on for hours. Finally, the suspect, frustrated at being pummeled by the police, figuratively speaking, said, ``It is 5 years, man. It is 5 years, man.'' What he was, of course, saying to the policemen was that he had gotten the message, the message of Project Exile.
