I’m not sure why “I meet people and they want to get involved The couple explains their motivation for these events on their social media pages: “I’ve always wanted to create a place where special needs children can go out and participate in community events,” they say; “where all the kids can just have fun and express their unique selves without the worry of inquisitive glances and rude comments simply because they are not perceived as ‘normal’; being able to provide an event and place where being ‘different’ is totally O.K.” drawing more than 200 attendees more than their 2016 attendance And they plan to keep the momentum going in the spring with their second Easter event Their mission is to give the kids some fun “but what the kids really need is acceptance.” Terms of Use CINCINNATI – Forty-four years after the fatal shooting of a Cincinnati police officer there’s still a special bond between two men whose lives were deeply affected Nick Handorf and Bob Roebel have nearly become brothers over the years brought together by the tragic death of Handorf’s big brother Neither man has forgotten the night in 1974 when Sgt Their memories were refreshed again Friday when they came together to honor the fallen officer at a ceremony outside the former District Three station on Warsaw Avenue in East Price Hill There’s a memorial plaque with Handorf’s likeness on the base of the flagpole in front Nick Handorf was the youngest of 15 children “Nobody ever had any trouble with Charlie.” a Delhi Township police officer since retired “Everybody had good things to say about him and how innovative he was about being a copper,” Roebel said Roebel had answered a call to help Cincinnati police with a SWAT situation Herbert Merz had barricaded himself inside his house on Home City Avenue and wouldn't come out Merz appeared at a window and fired at the officers "He went down and I saw Charlie on the ground investigators determined that Roebel’s shots had killed Merz “It was tough for a while … I knew my shots took effect,” Roebel said “I wasn't officially told for a while afterward because there was a lot of gunfire “That job can throw anything at you at any time and you always have be prepared Dozens of police officers and friends gathered at the old District Three headquarters Friday Bagpipes played as a wreath was laid in Sgt “All of us gather here so that an ordinary man of humble beginnings can inspire respect and love,” said Nick Handorf  “He showed me how to be strong as well as compassionate and even as I watched him “but he was the perfect example of what a man can be."

would later dig up that park “looks like a fairy forest” with “fireflies lurking everywhere” as dealers and buyers navigated the shrubbery by the light of their mobile phones But the danger of the situation only hit home when Artyom’s dog dug up one of these “deliveries” and accidentally overdosed on psychedelics it dawned on Artyom that he would have to take matters into his own hands He had already informed the police about the park many times The problem isn’t just in Artyom’s neighborhood the undersides of its park benches and its flower beds for zakladki—industrial-grade plastic bags filled with drugs These dead drops are neatly sealed and equipped with small magnets so they can cling to rails While the goods are delivered to these unlikely corners of Moscow the deals themselves now originate in an even more bizarre place The transactions plaguing Artyom’s neighborhood begin in drug supermarkets hidden online in the deepest reaches of the “dark web.”  hundreds of eager suppliers compete to satisfy their customers’ sophisticated palettes Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are the legal tender here buyers are issued GPS coordinates to the spot where their purchases await in flower beds and drain pipes The anonymity these marketplaces provide and the fact that they remove the most troublesome link in any drug deal — the real-life meeting between dealer and buyer — have been a boon for Russia’s illegal drug sellers the narcotic industry was turning an annual profit of 1.5 trillion rubles ($25 billion) ex-head of Russia’s drug enforcement agency One online drug supermarket owner told the news website Lenta.ru that his business's turnaround in 2016 amounted to 24 billion rubles ($412 million.) The online marketplace has also proven almost impossible to police Artyom now spends his evenings patrolling his northern Moscow neighborhood to counter Russia’s dealers and junkies “We used to have a flower bed in our courtyard and the flowers started disappearing” Artyom recalls I thought some old women were taking them for their gardens in the country but then I saw that it was these junkies digging them up and looking for their drugs.”  Hidden away from the “clearnet” indexed by Google is one of Russia’s biggest online drug supermarkets The site’s front page is an epilepsy-inducing checkerboard of flashing Every 5th Drop Free!” More than 100 suppliers sell everything from drugs and disposable “burner” phones and SIM cards to ready-to-move drug labs The site is part of a highly competitive and customer-oriented industry drug users are no longer forced to meet with shady characters prone to supplying low-quality products Dealers offer an exhaustive description of their wares their chemical components and growing methods (for marijuana mushrooms and other plant-based narcotics) suppliers are no longer motivated by the short-term benefits of diluting their product with cutting agents Cheating is actively discouraged by the site One market's front page features a warning to suppliers in the form of a Biblical quote from Leviticus: “Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgement in weight or in measure; Just balances and just weights ye shall have.”  The most popular items are marijuana and amphetamines Both have one major advantage: They do not need to be imported who spoke to The Moscow Times on condition of anonymity is based in an industrial town in Russia’s “black earth belt.” He says that unemployment drove him to start his own narcotics business He had already had some dealing experience in the pre-internet days “You’re looking for legitimate ways to make ends meet,” he explained I’m going to do the only thing I’m good at It’s the only way to make the kind of money I want to make.”  It’s still a small-scale operation compared to Russia’s major markets where a typical online business might employ dozens Sergei says his small enterprise makes him around 600,000 rubles ($11,000) a month—30 times the average salary in his hometown He loses little sleep over the illegality of his business It’s the quality of his product that keeps him up at night “One of my hoarders started cutting my speed with aspirin “I compared photographs of my stash to pictures they attached to their complaints—it was clearly tampered with While the online market may seem safer than the pre-internet days of in-person deals and narcotics with uncertain contents it is proving a serious problem for Moscow residents and police alike In areas especially popular with drug “hoarders,” locals complain of constant foot traffic Drug corners are a notorious feature of many urban areas entire Russian towns were practically overrun with drug dealers and their clients in various stages of addiction and withdrawal But with the advent of online supermarkets the drug dealers have sprinted far ahead of law enforcement which is still struggling to adapt to the internet age Plagued by hoarders and frustrated by the flaccid police response Muscovites like Artyom have begun running their own anti-narcotics patrols “My wife and I went to the police with photographs of [hoarders’] cars and hiding spots,” Artyom told the Moscow Times “The cops didn’t even want to register a crime They told us they weren’t interested in small-time drug users They said hoarders were difficult to catch.”  Russia’s drug enforcement authority — the Directorate for Drug Control — recently downsized The organization was demoted last year from an independent government agency to a department within the Interior Ministry is critical of recent reforms within the ministry But he is prepared to cut his colleagues some slack “Don’t shoot the pianist,” he told The Moscow Times The structure of the fight against drugs is still being formed.” And policing the online markets is an exasperating task In an online discussion forum for law enforcement one police officer complains it is ridiculous that a whole website can be shut down over an “extremist” joke but it’s impossible to shut down an entire online drug market generating millions of rubles of illicit revenue The Directorate for Drug Control declined to comment for this article The new agency does not have access to its predecessor’s data and could not compare drug-related arrests from last year The department does not distinguish between online and offline drug offenses Recently released crime statistics from the Interior Ministry show that 71,207 drug-related crimes were registered in Russia in the first four months of 2017 there is no way of knowing how many of those crimes related by online drug markets The new challenges facing drug enforcement agencies are not confined to Russia Among most difficult challenges are new online drug markets and the increasingly dangerous substances filling their virtual shelves there has been a fivefold increase in seizures of new synthetic psychoactive substances worldwide Mikhailov says is not to chase after “hoarders” or to shut down online drugs supermarkets If the Directorate shuts down one — like the FBI did with SilkRoad and its clones — dozens more will rush to fill the void he believes drug enforcement agencies should decrease demand by investing in programs that raise awareness about the dangers of drugs Regardless of the approach the police choose Russia’s authorities are likely to remain a few steps behind the drug dealers The technology dealers are using is growing ever more innovative There are Twitter bots promoting Chinese online stores selling methadone another online drug store owner told the Moscow Times is to ambush a popular hoarding site in the hopes of filling their monthly arrest quota a hoarder might reveal the location of another popular dead drop site Interrogating a random drug user in hopes of catching a dealer is pointless because online anonymity means they couldn’t name names even if they wanted to And with their illegal industry growing more profitable and increasingly professionalized few sellers express any qualms about their business “I don’t care about the moral consequences of the work I’m doing,” one told The Moscow Times  Nina Abrosimova and Eric Woods contributed reporting for this article Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom anime movie revealed a new trailer Studio MADHOUSE is
