God accused of selling cocaine near church
Man named God Lucky Howard sold to undercover officers, Tampa cops say

TAMPA, Fla. - Police said a man named God was arrested near a Tampa church for selling cocaine.

Authorities began investigating God Lucky Howard in April, and he was arrested on Saturday. Police said he sold the cocaine to undercover detectives in his neighborhood. When officers searched his home, they reported finding 22 grams more of cocaine and a scale.

Jail records show Howard was charged with several counts of drug possession and distribution, which include increased charges for being within 1,000 feet of a church, a school and public housing.

1. I don't know much about the drug cocaine. But I'm wondering
if God was selling it, how did it come to be illegal? In fact I don't understand why alcohol is legal, and other drugs are not? Is it because Jesus made wine?

3. Alcohol is legal because anybody with a bucket,
water and a carbohydrate source can make it. Tobacco is legal because a lot of rich men make a lot of money off it and have done so since the first white men landed on these shores. Those rich white men keep it legal.

Drugs are illegal because they're sold by poor people, even though there are rich men far up the line in other countries.
