While I was surfing the web, Crime Watch was on in the background on TV. I don't think I've seen that show before.

It was kind of annoying, as it seemed to be portraying an erstwhile drug lord as some kind of political prisoner. The exact case is that of Richard Wershe, Jr., of Detroit. He went up the river as a 17 year old who was then a serious player in the drug scene in Detroit.

The show was all about how he was used and then put away by the political machine. He was depicted as a hapless youth, naive and undeserving of his sentence. They said he was guilty only of non-violent crimes.

ARE there any drug lords who are not guilty of violent crimes? Are drug lords able to BE drug lords without getting blood on their hands? Didn't seem likely to me.

His stage name was "White Boy Rick," BTW.
 
^ It would depend on the drug. There are people who produce psychedelics who I am sure don't intend to harm anyone.
 
Can you be a drug lord at just 17?
 
Teach high school and then get back to me.

Yes, this kid was.

His dad was a major gun dealer selling illegal guns to the drug lords in Detroit. His kid grew up around all of them and was already running his own drug operation with the leaders in his teens.

If Mozart can start young, so can drug lords. He doesn't dispute that he was a drug lord, only that his sentence was unjust.

Florida has him in prison now for his role in a car theft ring BEFORE he was locked up at 17.
 
The answer to your question is Yes - there are guys in the business that keep their heads down but they maintain a low profile (drama is bad for business).

There are two brothers that went public when they contacted police to become "informers" on their business partners.
That's the problem, "drug lords" are caught between layers of suppliers and users.
There is no exit plan from the business, even for guys who keep their operations clean.
 
I don't get it. How can you be a drug lord if you are nothing more than a dealer or just a distributor? I thought the title was reserved for the kingpins, the men calling the shots, managing rivals, buying police protection, and the like.

I didn't think a middle man was called a drug lord.

And it's not like there are any new towns around. I though the crime lords had to work their way up or displace the competition, and it's hard to imagine any of them voluntarily giving up territory.
 
POV - middleman = drug lord or drug lord = middleman.

Law enforcement, especially judges, always ask "what's the difference?".
A middleman is a drug lord, minus the dead bodies.
