SAN DIEGO (AP) – Dozens of San Diego State University students were arrested after a sweeping drug investigation found that some fraternity members openly dealt drugs and one even sent a mass text message advertising cocaine, authorities said Tuesday.
Two kilograms of cocaine were seized, along with 350 Ecstasy pills, marijuana, psychedelic mushrooms, hash oil, methamphetamine, illicit prescription drugs, several guns and at least $60,000 in cash, authorities said.
Of the 96 people arrested, 75 were students. Eighteen of the students were arrested Tuesday when nine search warrants were executed at various locations including fraternities, said Jesse Rodriguez, San Diego County assistant district attorney.

Did I say it was different on any other campus? Maybe it’s not, but — regardless — it takes a complete moron to send a mass text message advertising drugs for sale. Now, that’s STUPID. Felony stupid.
By the way, I’d love to see someone post a message similar to yours about the cops busting a gang full of drug dealers in a city neighborhood:
“Big deal. Do you think it’s any different in any other city? The cops get some big headlines, some lives are ruined forever, and those talking about it get the opportunity to be sanctimonious.”
I guess next you’re gonna tell me that these weren’t gangbangers, just college students, so that it should be okay for them to deal drugs?
Yes, I’m being sanctimonious.

Barry: Definitely stupid. Though, it is very sad that these smart students would engage in this kind of activity. Very sad and disappointing!
