- dylan420, on 10/12/2007, -1/+33we called her 'grams' ...but not because she was a grandmother...
- RealSurreal, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26when i first read the headline I was like "what a crazy old man" but A ***** Grandma!
thats one hardcore granny - Cutkomp, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19When she was younger you could order cocaine from mail-order catalogs.
- jenel, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18She was raising money for a coffin, you don't have to be so hard on her.
- trghpy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16Should have stuck with Mary Jane.
It doesn't make you look like a scum lord. - trghpy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13... She's 81!
She's almost old enough to remember cocain in Coca cola. (1906, so not really but closer than the rest of us.)
For more than 2/3rds of her life she was able to buy speed over the counter.
For half her life she was able to buy Acid over the counter.
Her life span has covered every major improvement to drugs, from coca to cocaine, from cocaine to crack. - nerd05, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Of course she didn't like other drug dealers, they were her competition!
- raymiester500, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Wow, what a striking resemblance to Sara Goldfarb from Requiem for a Dream.
- DryvBy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Bull crap. She's a drug pusher, a crack dealer!! My grandparents are 80+ and perfectly sane, along with a ton of other people I know. You can't tell me just because you're older means you don't know.
- truspector, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8We have a winner.
- aB0z, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Now I don't claim to know whether or not this woman is guilty, (although it looks like she is; you wouldn't arrest a grandma without a good reason hopefully), but I don't like how the title of the digg submission is worded as if she is already proven guilty.
In America, you are innocent until proven guilty, and it would be nice to see that upheld here as well. I'm not saying I don't want to see stories like this one reported on, but "81 Year-old charged with selling cocaine" would have been more fair and accurate than "81 year old crack dealer arrested".
All that aside, if she is guilty then this is some funny stuff. - ZeroMP, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Great. Do you know how many bridge games and boring stories I had to sit through to get that hookup? And for what? Nothing now.
- tearor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6We need to keep these drug dealers off the streets, so the streets are safe for old ladies,,oh,,wait,,,
- puredistraction, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5it's for her glaucoma!
- stuman77, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"Drugs are bad"
I can only assume form context that this comment was meant sarcastically. Well, news flash:
Crack is not good! [aka bad!]. It's highly addictive, potentially lethal, and by it's nature tends to take hold in areas populated by the economic lower class, eventually leading to increases in crime as they seek means to satisfy the addiction. It's also extremely detrimental both mentally and physically. - Smuikas, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Look up the history of LSD and the years in which it was openly available in the US, again. It definitely did not span more than 20 years.
- mikeazorin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Wow, that's a really interesting comment.
- bananaguyc, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6Ballin' Old Lady
- smithfly114, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You fail at life, sucks for you
- HP844182, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Granny's an OG.
- laserblazer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Look at what someone rails against and you may have found their secret ambitions.
- KuntaKinte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1grannies these days are a lot tougher than previous grannies, nick swardson pointed out that we may be even more hard core when we're older, like listening to our dre cd's when we're 80
- conna, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Keep poisoning the weak minded weak willed people. Who says evolution has to be slow. Plus she is making her own ends meet. Oh wait. drugs are bad. D.A.R.E. now dig me down.
- chokeaduck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Am I the only one that thought... what would William S. Burroughs say? I guess so...
- justjudith, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i guess that's one way to supplement social security...
- ajgv, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1dugg for sprinkles
- meanteen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1LOL thats the perfect disguise, no one would suspect an 81 year old, even less a woman to be a drug dealer
- Gremlin87, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4I smoke Rocks!
- ahollman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hey, there's good money in dealin', as long as you don't smoke up the profits. She's proven herself in other venues to be a good businesswoman; she's just diversifying!
- stickyhoney, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I remember reading a story in the UK about a old age heroin dealer who kept the drugs in a secret compartment in his walking stick :P
- edm1950, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oy, here's your rock, Be careful, God forbid a nice boy like you should OD.
- richdiggins, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"known here as a tough landlord with a special loathing for drugs and drug dealers..."
the old adage, "takes one to know one" applies here! - GeneralKickass, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1'Sprinkle said...'
'Sprinkle said...'
'Sprinkle said...'
'Sprinkle said...'
...
Sprinkle needs to keep her trap shut more often. - antifolkhero, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I love that an undercover officer purchased drugs from her the week before and she is flat out denying that it ever happened. Typical southern religious attitude.
- hgb5150, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1She had a special loathing for her competitors.
- masamunecyrus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1FTA: "Sprinkle and others describe Steiner as a loving mother and grandmother and a cancer victim who has fiercely believed in her family, as well as a caring woman who has sheltered people short on rent money and job prospects, and occasionally even fed them."
Anyone else reminded of the Yakuza? They provide shelter, care, and act as family for delinquents and outcasts, and they even help out the community, but they're also involved in illegal activities and corporate blackmail. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+7I hate to sound racist but....
Was anyone else surprised to a see a WHITE lady in the pic? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1***** hypocrites. If anyone like that RETARD skyshock want to condemn such a woman is
a. A soulless bastard
b. Didn't read the article.
The woman had cancer, her sun murdered someone as a young adult and she saw him rot away and die in prison, her daughter killed her husband. Probably because of her lost son (which she visited all the time in jail) she rent houses to society's rejects (read: ex inmates) and she was always there for them.
You can't proscecute someone who had a life like that and is still human after it. Anyone who does that is made of stone. - GasPoweredGnome, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3Yeah, I couldn't imagine having someone tell me "Yo, my Grannie wants to get you high, you down?"
WHAT?! - ganjadude4391, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1ummm..... lets see
she WAS arrested...
how is the title no good???
now if the title said
GRANDMA SELLS CRACK OMGWTF?!?!!
that would have been a bad (yet all to common) DIGG submission - smithfly114, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3Oh *****, that's my grandma!
- catfish182, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Damn i have to reup my supply and she is gone..
***** - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3Who on earth does crack when they're 81?!? Or was she just slingin'?
- AnotherThought, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1"The only thing I knew of her selling was Avon."
Poor thing. Seriously I think someone duped her and put drugs in Avon bottles.
She's likely to be a victim who's been tricked into doing something she's not aware of. People of her age can be forgetful - i know: my grandma is approaching 80 - siszam, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2Wow, that's a really interesting story.
