No the CIA didn't. Certain people in the CIA looked the other way. Stop making up false narratives. The CIA never made anyone take the drugs. The CIA never stood on the corner in my neighborhood selling drugs. Dumbass Pooky that failed out of high school was on the corner.
@Paul Glenn You should read it. The CIA wasn't distributing drugs nationwide. Barry Seal was working with the Cartel and he took advantage of the fact that CIA wanted to keepvthe communist out of Central America more than they wanted him. The DEA not CIA busted Barry Seal. The CIA had a political agenda against communist not the intention of putting drugs in the Black community. Those drugs were not dropped into Black neighborhoods. They were sold by Pooky and his friends. Pooky didnt got his drugs from a CIA warehouse. Pooky got his drugs from "Pablo" and "Grieselda".
Big fax and what’s crazy is u have real live killers that’s out , but a guy who’s charismatic still in . I don’t agree with the telling part but he should be out. It’s rumors that he is out
What actually happened was, he didn't kill anybody with his hands, but the system screwed him. Some people admitted that they shot and killed people while they were hanging with Ray. When he he found out, he was pissed about it, but the way the system works was, it www as about making an example out of him, so they're getting him for the drugs, plus the bodys other people caught that were close to him.

Very intelligent, he was a 4.0 student in high school and he had 3 or 4 academic scholarships to go to some really good universities, I’m being dead serious, he wasn’t ur typical gangster.
@Jordan Sharpe I said silent killer vibe. And I can't say wether he killed somebody or not tho lol. Regardless he couldn't be soft moving that much weight in DC, especially during that time. And you don't have to pull the trigger to be a killer.
Nothing is small about Ray's way of thinking.. NOTHING 😐 He is what is called a brainiac.. an ingenious mind thinker from slight laugh to smile and serious face in the blink of an eye 😐
I lived in DC during his time and when he got locked up the city went crazy with shootings in the power struggle that followed. The Babe Ruth of crack dealers was pretty funny.
It’s crazy how they government blames the dealers for selling it but don’t hold themselves accountable for buying and placing it in the hoods to be sold and destroy our communities
I saw his face when they talked about his mom. And the fact that he let his mom get the less sentence I can see why he will just give up everything. That’s his mother. not no dude down the street. The CIA made sure the drugs got to the wholesalers in the USA then made a Drug war on purpose. Then locked up people for life when it was the CIA in the first place that let this happen and knew the out come. He’s locked up somewhere no one knows I hope he is doing good and his family. God bless him he is so smart and kind it’s hurts me to watch this at times. Rayful keep your head up and wish I could write you. God bless.
GET OFF THE MANS BALL SACK. YOUR GENEARTION IS SO DILUTED BECAUSE ITS PEOPLE LIKE THIS WHO YOU HOLD IN HIGH REGARD. HES AT THE TOP OF THE PYRAMID LIVING A GLAMEROUS LIFE BUT SHIT ROLLS DOWN HILL.

THATS THE REALITY OF LIFE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PYRAMID..
Need to study his psychology. Dude is a mastermind in logistics. Wasted talent misdirected think about the amount of intellect it takes to pull off of that magnitude consistently so long. Kind of crazy.
Rayful was doing it big back in the late 80's he was a good dude looked out for everybody but April 15th 1989 everything came to a end the DC streets was quite then thats when the shooting and homicides took off.
This dude has a very innocent, smiling, nice man vibe about him. The now-revealed meeting that really went down, between him and Georgetown coach John Thompson, is more fascinating than ever!
My girlfriends grandma was John thompsons assistant at the time and she was telling me about when Rayful came into the office to meet with John and he was using his street name. She was like "boy that aint your real name. Whats the name yo mama gave you" and he smiled and was like "rayful" lol she said he showed up there with a crew of niggas
He wasn’t making more than he was on the street he was just making a few thousand off the prison deals. He just had more access because of The columbians.

Growing Up In A Post Rayful Era (1991) Into The Alpo And Wayne Perry And Vincent Hill Era Of Washington D.C. It Was A War Zone I Remember Living On Queen St Right Up The Street From 7th District Police Station Even Living In A High Rise 3rd Floor Apt Building When Shots Went Off We Still Hit The Floor. I’m Not Glorifying Any Of This But Man What A Time To Be Alive And Make It Out.
Some of my family knew rayful, he looked out for erybdy in the hood, paid ppl bills, got school clothes for kids etc. He had ppl who loved him so much they killed for him. This is why he had so many bodies, he never killed anyone, so I heard he had love like that. Oh, yeah BTW Alpo snitched on his whole operation that's how he was initially watched by the feds.
Did y'all peep that watch remember this is the late 80s when the lock Ray up and my point is he was platinum and bling blinging way before Jay Z and Cash Money.
There was no need for Edmunds to end up like this.Greed is the biggest drug and he got hooked.Many of us who unlike Edmonds who grew up in the hood were tempted by the cars, jewelry, women, money, clothes etc.Some took the bait but some like myself thought out the whole thing ( jail, or death) and chose a safer path.Im not giving up my freedom for NOBODY.
Mayor Barry & Rayful Edmond both got something in common, a white chic set both of them up ! I hope rayful is out now , it’s no way Sammy Da Bull should be our & rayful still in . Don’t agree with all the telling but how sway
I love these uploads of recorded by analog(for the youngstas by hardware not software aka cassette vhs) I dig for gold,gold is documentaries from history,politics,religion,hood stuff by uploaders not well known
He spent and gave away $50,000 a day for years in the 80's and it didn't hurt his pockets. He was at the Leonard/Hagler fight and bought out like 2:floors in one of the expensive hotels.
Lots of people had bust downs in the 80’s though. But he did have way more paper than the average but def Lots of people and even kids 16 17 yrs old had bust down roley
I grew up with Ray. Played 🏀 against his team. On a street level a 🐀 is a 🐀. But I understand a son's love for his Mom. That lifestyle affects EVERYONE either in a positive or negative way. You can't do right by God and do wrong by people.
Think about it. He never would have told. He had all those keys out there and them niggas didn't want to pay. So he sent a message and told them all if you don't pay you coming on here with me. They didn't pay so then he folded and he really had to to get his mom's and aunt and sister free. Nobody gone let their own mom's rot in jail if it's a way she can be free. What would you have done? Would you tell to get your mom free or will you make her sit in jail

Come on OG. He poisoned our community with drugs man. Any king pin is likely directly or indirectly involved in numerous murders, overdoses and black children growing up fatherless.
He’s responsible for many lives lost in his community. He’s responsible for many children losing their mother’s to crack & being raised by their grand parents. His sentence is well deserved
Yup. He told Rayful to keep that sh*t away from his basketball players. Rayful could’ve easily had him knocked off, but he didn’t & stayed away from them. RIP Mr. Thompson 🙏🏾

What he said about the CO's wanting drugs in the prisons is absolutely true
Yes it is true it keeps them calm
From this interview, you could tell he was intelligent & charismatic. He likely could've been successful running a legal business.
Very intelligent

Yeah he did run a business his own the 80's and 90's was hard alot of us played the drug game because that was a quick way to get ahead.
Hes just EXTREMELY charming. Seems like he can get along with anybody. Business minded.
Exactly. I could really like him until I realize he responsible for so many deaths & broke families in the community
Most bosses are charismatic individuals. Rayful has that silent killer vibe.

@Jordan Sharpe when u pay someone to kill somebody, u the killer too....its like putting poison in a drink that u made
Dude wasn't a killer. He was a drug dealer and a snitch.
He was seducing the reporter too.
I said the same comment to myself saw dis wen i was 17 18 he was cold
The pig Latin he was using is was what my mom uses when she talks to my Aunts lol

@@leebutler2228 Doesn't diminish the brilliant street businessman that he was.

Doesn’t feed their narrative.

*My family is from D.C. but I lived in a city close by and remember those Rayful days were crazy. Also, the times after he sat down were crazier.* 💯
