Re: Video:Houston's 5th Ward drug scene + Fort Bend + Falfur

I did not realize this until you posed the question. IIRC this was a "Drugs Inc." documentary.
I am not aware of how you may access this video. Happy hunting. If anyone can access this
somehow, please share your navigation to it on this thread.

TIA / SIA

Video:Houston's 5th Ward drug scene + Fort Bend + Falfurrias

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0pSM9VRyVM

The above link is a 44 minute long National Geographic documentary of the drug scene in Houston's 5th Ward.

At one point in the video, they show a map of the City of Houston's 6 wards. IIRC, the 5th Ward is the NE corner
of the City. There are various Houston scenes in this video, including I-610, and the spot where I-45 and Texas 249 cross.
There are various street signs seen in the video. Of course you Houston folks probably wouldn't be in those areas anyway.

This video is not appropriate for viewing by children due to drug use and language. It's NSFW (Not Suitable For Work).

It does point out the drug scene in Houston, as well as money laundering, and LEO activity to stop these things.

Houston PD, the Harris County Sheriff's office, the Fort Bend County LEO's, Hidalgo County Sheriffs, and the Falfurrias, TX checkpoint are covered,
including the US 59 drug route from Laredo to Houston.

As far as weapons seen in the video:
Smith and Wesson .45 revolver, large knife suitable for beheading, a long machete,
and some kind of large semi-automatic long gun (it's not an AR-15, but it's BIG). Can anyone ID this firearm?
The last 3 weapons are seen in the last few minutes of the video.

Note that the drug dealer in the black wool ski mask mentions that he owns 13 guns.
The black semi-auto on the table in front seems to have a star on the grip. Is this a Tri-Star 9MM?
For a guy that makes thousands of dollars a week in profit, it seems that he would have a better pistol, IMHO.

Stay safe out there my Houston people. Carry onbody with an extra mag. :-)
