Faces of Death III Page #4

she will be plagued

with horrible nightmares

for months

to come.

Noone will ever understand

the real reason

behind Lucas Washington's

violent outburst.

When a man is forced

to lose his pride

and sense of

self respect,

revenge becomes

his only alternative.

Out of feelings of

insecurity and fear,

he must find

a new course

to regain

a feeling of importance.

If the death of others

becomes a means to that end,

tragedy follows.

The people of this

neighborhood in New York City

will always remember

the effects Lucas Washington

had on

their community.

The unassuming wilderness of

Southern Florida's Everglades

is the entry port

of 70 percent of all marijuana

and cocaine imported

into the United States

by plane

and boat.

To a visitor,

the Everglades remain

an unblemished

wildlife preserve,

but drug smuggling is this

region's major industry.

The area is so vast

that the actual chance

of capturing a drug smuggler

is highly unlikely.

But when night falls, under

the light of the full moon,

the increased

traffic by the smugglers

affords law

enforcement officers

a greater

chance of success.

There they are.

Although it will

be a long time before

these two men

again smuggle drugs,

they represent

only a minute percentage

of the drug

trafficking community.

The man grove canals

of southern Florida

are another heavy area of

drug transport and receiving.

When a new steam

accompanied park rangers

who were following a tip

of an alleged drug pickup,

a real life

human drama unfolded.

We are now

approaching boy 28.

Hey, Dave, look, that looks

like our boat over there.

This is the

Florida State Ranger,

you are under arrest,

stop your engine

and place your hands

over your head.

Holy sh*t, those bastards

are coming right at us.

You guys stay down

and hold tight.

Central, this is

Patrol 3 X-Ray Tango...

two suspects are heavily armed

and have fired on our boat.

Roger Patrol 3

X- Ray Tango,

additional units have been

alerted and are proceeding...

You news boys

keep yourselves down.

They're slowing down.

I've got the

driver covered.

Okay, okay,

but keep a close eye on them.

Keep your hands

in the air.

Now take your right hand

and turn off your engine.

Central, this is Patrol

3 X Tango,

we have suspects in custody

and are proceeding

with a search

of the boat.

One suspect is wounded

and possibly dead.

Advise emergency unit.

Keep your hands

on top of your head.

Tango, back-up

and emergency units

are proceeding

to your quadrant.

After a

high-speed chase,

the drug offenders

were arrested.

The officers suffered

no casualties,

but one of the smugglers
