The Texas National Guard is planning to demolish 31 vacant houses in Dallas next month as part of a program to rid neighborhoods of havens for drug activity.
The Guard's counter-drug task force does it once a quarter in cities across the state. They've torn down over 1,200 structures since the program began in the early 1990s.
"They not only are able to provide a service to the community, but at the same time they are able to train on the equipment which they are assigned to operate, giving them the opportunity to sharpen their skills," said Staff Sgt. Jason Kendrick, a Guard spokesman.

I hope the criminals' best friend (the ACLU) doesn't get wind of this. They might try to stop a good thing.

Too bad that these houses aren't going to some homeless family..... just because "drugs were attached" to these houses doesn't mean they're dangerous unless they were used as meth labs. Yep, tear shit down just because there's an epidemic problem they don't know how to handle... yep, uh huh, makes a lot of sense to me.... :whatever:
