Here is an interview with David or AJ or Sybil or someone:



ALLIGATOR JACKSON DISCUSSES MONEY TOWN

DAVID: This is David Williams and I’m chatting with Alligator Jackson about our… I mean his new book Money Town. AJ, what is or where is Money Town?

AJ: Money Town is my… er… our hometown: Huntington, West Virginia. Like a lot of other small to midsize cities, Huntington has been over run by big city drug dealers. Dealers from Detroit have been coming to Huntington for a while with the main goal being to sell drugs and make money. Actually they been calling Huntington - Munnington or Moneyton. I thought Money Town sounded better. The head of a Detroit gang says in the book: “Huntington is my money town. It may be your hometown but it is my money town. It is where I come to make my money.” That about somes it up.

DAVID: Why Money Town now?

AJ: It is fiction but it is fact based. More than that it is a cautionary tale. There are already Detroit drug dealers all over town. Unlike the book, they are independent. There are probably hundreds in town but most do not know each other. If they did know each other like in the book and were all connected to the same gang, they could put a hurt on this town.

DAVID: So are you blaming all of the drugs in Huntington on Detroit.

AJ: Of course not. Heroin, though, is pretty much a Detroit exclusive bought down from Detroit. They also get pills cheaper there, most of them smuggled in from Canada and brought down and sold at a healthy margin.
Of course, Huntington dealers get painkillers from Florida and Georgia clinics. They were getting them from Portsmouth, Ohio pain clinic or pill mills, but they have been mostly shut down. Of course, some people go to Huntington doctors and get pills and sell them instead of taking them. But Detroit is a main supplier. The Detroit boys are more dangerous because they are more ruthless they can teach local wannabees about the streets. They commit their crimes and head back up into Detroit and the police never find them.

DAVID: One may get the idea from the book that you are down on the police, is that true?

AJ: Well, the police are people and therefore make mistakes. Now if Gators could be police we wouldn’t have that problem but for some reason you guys won’t let us be police.
Anyway, like anything else, there are good police and bad police. Huntington has a lot of fine capable and loyal police officers. But, the law of averages say that there is bound to be some bad ones in the bunch.

DAVID: You seem to not like the magistrate system.

AJ: Well, first of all the magistrates are not selected because of their qualifications. They are selected in a popularity contest. And sometimes when you get popular people you get people who know the wrong people, owe people, or have an old boy network. To get elected, you have to call for favors sometimes and when you call for favors you sometimes owe. Of course, regular judges have that too but you run into it more with elected officals. And sometimes these guys just aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed. Because you are popular doesn’t mean you are experienced or educated. You should at least been college educated.

DAVID: Why do you think college is necessary.

AJ: College teached you how to reason more than high school. You need to be very rational and have top communication skills when being a magistrate and dealing with the legal system. High school really doesn’t provide one with the best communication skills that are required for the job.

DAVID: Could Money Town come true?

AJ: It’s fact based in some parts but the fiction parts are becoming more and more real everyday.

DAVID: What is the solution?

AJ: Awareness and the good people have to come together and fight. It’s not enough to say no to drugs, we have to say NO MORE. No more drugs, no more drug dealers on my block, no more pill mills, no more bringing pills up from Florida. The answer isn’t no, it is no more. We solve the drug problem and that solves a lot of the prostitution problem, the high school dropout problem, the robbery problem, and basically the crime problem in general.

DAVID: What has been the reaction to Money Town?

AJ: Very strong. People say it is true. It increases awareness of the problem and really fires people up toward solving the problem. It also makes people look at some of our other problems.

DAVID: What made you write this?

AJ: This is our hometown our home. It has become almost unrecognizable. It’s not the same as when we grew up. We deserve better. Together, we can have better and more. Yes, more!
