'the UTP knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake.' -get it?" -rjs. The police do raids at the Cleveland and Shaker Heights high schools, going through lockers, and arrest 30 students for drugs, asking them if they knew levy, mistakenly assuming he was involved with drug distribution-in part because of statements levy made in The Plain Dealer advocating legalization of marijuana.

The poem praised rioters in the Hough the summer before.
