[Community_garden] What kind of community gardening is this?

[adam36055 at aol.com]

It probably came from operation "Market Garden," a fiasco written about in "A Bridge Too Far."  The drug war is probably about as much of a bust as the War in Iraq - but it does warm the cockles of my heart to see a low end drug dealer who throws needles, vials and paraphernalia in community gardens ( as well as peeing through the fence, to "water the plants") hauled away for a while. 
 
So, as the Bard said, " it's an evil wind that blows nobody any good." 
 
Cheers,

What the...???

"Community garden" gets new definition?

[I'm not amused at this confiscation of the name
'community garden' to describe a Miami police crack
down. Anybody know where this came from? Time for a
few letters??? - DB]

From: News 7, Miami, Florida

Operation Community Garden continues with more arrest

NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. (WSVN) - Officials in
Miami-Dade continue to take crime, drugs and weapons
off the streets through Operation Community Garden.

Uniformed officers and plain-clothed detectives
continue to flood the area searching for leads in
previous murder cases.

Their primary task is to search for people with
outstanding warrants, but the operation has lead
officials to confiscating guns and taking drugs off
the streets.
