Convict and deport swiftly.

I hope they get what they deserve. They need to be out of business forever. Scum!

& still in business for life !
Express-gas
Woodstock tobacco

From my understanding they were arrested for selling things that were legal at the time...so what's the problem?

People of Shelby need to boycott the gas station and Woodstock. Get the garbage out of Shelby.

Andrew Guida you are correct my man, and David weaver get your facts straight before you talk.
& Jennifer kadrioski you can boycott all you want your business is not apprieciated anyways thank you.

sorry to upset all of you they walked outa the court with smiles on all there faces

The foriegn scumbag dabish family were caught possessing cocaine to the uninformed and uneducated. What a dumb looking and stupid family. The mom looks like the usual old hag/abused whore you see in the old foriegn photographs. Retarded looking crackheads for kids and grandkids. Take the phone away from them until they learn English.

A comment was deleted for violating Patch's Terms of Service. Please refrain from the use of profanity.

This family is a disgrace. Parents, adult children, & teen children greedily conspiring to push synthetic garbage & illegal drugs within a community that has patronized & supported their business for years.

I quit lining their pockets when they began treating me as though they were doing me a favor by allowing me to purchase their goods, instead of appreciating my support of local business. This was a couple of years ago. I've since gone down the street to a family owned business, they truly appreciate it & are always kind, along with making a point of learning ones name and treat us like friends.

The comments & behavior exhibited during news coverage by some members of this family, cemented my gut feelings & reaffirmed my decision to stop patronizing their business.

The blatant disregard of this communities concerns & requests took a backseat to their own wants & greed. It's clear there isn't concern by them for teens, as teen family members are involved, and their safety, health, & wellbeing. The only apparent concern appears to be more $$ at any expense.

I truly hope this family is knocked down a few pegs and made to pay the price for inexcusable disregard to society & laws. Our Judges need to take a hard stand with these kinds of people/criminals. No plea deals....make them stand trial & be judged by juries of our society. Citizens should make every attempt to be heard loud & clear that this won't be tolerated in our community.

Stop shopping with them, there are plenty of gas stations & smoke shops within a stones throw of them that are happy to serve our community & truly appreciate our patronage.

This family of dirtbags will try to manipulate the legal system just like they tried to manipulate public opinion last May when the owner appeared at a Shelby Board meeting promising to not sell K2 and Spice and other related products targeted at the youth off our Community through loopholes in the law at the time... and then he had the audacity to continue selling this crap out of their back door and other affiliated businesses until the task force found out. What this country needs is stronger consequences when perps like them are convicted in a court of law.

Personally, I would like to see a public hanging for the whole lot of them and others like them if (when) they are found guilty in a quick trial. No repeaters and no tax dollars used to lock them up or jettison them to some other country.

In the mean time, follow their trails and wherever they are running a business... boycott it and demonstrate against them!!

Their whole family needs to be punished. We all predicted that this family would one day get exactly what they deserve. How sad is it that the people in their lives that should be setting an example and should be teaching them to be respectful upstanding young men are teaching them to live a life of crime. Way to go Grandma! This is karma. When you treat people badly you get what you deserve. I think you finally have yourselves in enough trouble that you won't be getting out of it very easily.

Yes Sarah, I have copied this and I will be including it with my letter to the Judge. I sent my first letter yesterday, and will be writing the court weekly . They need to hear from each and every family that has been affected by these "acccused" drug dealers .Many in this family have lengthy criminal records, it is public information that can be viewed on the Macomb and Oakland County Circuit Court websites. We as a community need to keep up the preassure and let the courts know we will not tollorate "Drug Dealers" living amongst us!

Dedrick ~ your language & blatant disrespect toward me & the communities opinions and concerns has done nothing more than reveal your character ~ below an ants belly.

To tell people you don't want/need their business in a public forum is not only nonproductive, but tells the community exactly how you feel about them as people & their potential patronage of these businesses. You're driving business away....which is alright with the majority of Utica & Shelby Township residents....as most would prefer these businesses fold & for greedy, disrespectful & thinking they're above the law individuals leave our community.

You've used defaming language toward others. I've copied all of these comments and printed them. I'd suggest others do the same should you choose to, obviously a very immature teen, publicly defame them.

Language just reveals the real content of this guy's inner soul. These dirtbags are the lowest of the low so you shouldn't expect them to talk any differently. I wouldn't waste my breath even responding to him or the rest of their clan as they are subhuman and have no respect for any socially-redeeming values the rest of us share.
I just wish this country had capital punishment where we could all lobby after their court trial and conviction to get their necks in a real tight noose. Afterall that is what they would get if found guilty of the same crimes in their native land.

I have taken screen shots of the comments posted. I will be submitting my letter to the court Monday morning. As far as not wanting our business, of coarse they don't... They want the business of the youth.. The kids who purchase cigarettes under age and those who are addicted to drugs... Since they continue to sell illegal narcotics out of their business aka drug house..

A crack wh&#e....seriously!?!? Please post proof, legal charges, or investigative records. Unlike some associated with these businesses, I can honestly say I've none of those things against me. You've shown all what an immature & foul mouthed brat you are! Certainly not a son I nor many, if not all, in this community would be proud of.

Post all the links, profanity, ugly or defensive statements you like. There's an old saying "He who protests the most, is likely the guilty one".

I'll not comment concerning your ridiculous ranting again. BTW I'll certainly be contacting an Attorney ~ Dedrick Dabish, know it all fool, you made a very big mistake using your name, good likelihood of a defamation of character lawsuit to add to your current charges/legal troubles.

That should really impress your family....NOT!

Foul language is demeaning to you...obviously just one more character flaw added to a long list of public opinion.

I, too, will be sharing this comment thread with all Legal Authorities associated with this case. In addition I'll be sure to share this with my concerned neighbors, wanting to be certain that they see everything. Knowing that they, too, will join all of us in our letter writing campaign to the Authorities.

They kinda remind me of a Medieval version of Ma Barker and the Barker Gang. Except instead of the 1930's, they're right out of the 11th century.

I have just written Charlie Leduff from channel 2 news, and attached this blog as well.

Jenny Whelan... can you or Maria write another column defining/updating when the Dabish clan hearing has been re-scheduled? (date/time/venue/)?

I would like to see a very large Community rally at the courthouse on their next day in Court most definitely involving the broader media of the Detroit area (Fox, ABC, NBC) and ideally Community leaders who were part of the task force who helped indict these dirtbags. The added presence from our County Executive department, County Sheriff, Township Supervisor , Township Police Chief and various church group leaders can show we are all united in supporting the prosecution of this case to the fullest extent of the law... to communicate that nothing less than total and swift justice is done... and to rally behind a Community mandate that we don't want the prosecution to back down on this clan with any type of plea deal! Nothing less than a full trial...full justice and full consequences is our uncompromising expectation for these morally-deficient souls!

Perhaps even set up a pre-rally meeting so everyone can get on the same page with all facts of the indictment and prosecution next steps. I know you will get a tremendous amount of local support and involvement for this effort.

Great idea Sarah...I'm in :-)

Perfectly said Sarah ! I am in as well!!!

Dedrick....did you complete(elementary) school? Were you calling your mom a crack whore? looks like an abused one at that. Family looks retarded.

Hey Dabish family, you're all going down! Justice will be swift and you'll all rot in a prison cell for a long, long time. I hope it was worth it!

I'm in too! Letters need to be sent to prosecuters office too. Tell your friends to ban their business. Great comments too. Greed!

How about you all learn to shut up the Dabish family has done nothing wrong I hope all your kids smoked it when it was legal and now there sweating and can't stop this is what you all did to them you gave them the right to smoke it not us you have them the money right so it's your fault not ours I'm an employe here and we are not going to leave enough talking shit were here to stay!

Keep trying to take us out haters, because we are hear to stay ! :D

Anyone who would support these idiots need their head examined! Now that we see what they think of the ones living in the community and don't want or care for your business, why would you? There are many gas stations and smoke shops in the area that will appreciate you! Ones that don't sell illegal narcotics!

Maybe if the community can get together and get many to stand out front of both establishments, people will change their minds on spending any of their legally hard earned money there!

Dedrick is a coward! Brave enough to hide behind a keyboard & spout filthy lies/ degrading comments. When suggested litigation is mentioned the coward deleted comments! To late....whole page was copied & saved....being sent with letters to all Legal Authorities involved with this case. Now an employee is spouting off...fool....just another opportunity to copy/save & send....showing the Authorities just how disrespectful those involved with this business are.

I find it deplorable that Dedrick think someone is trying to "take" them out. What do you think happens when you commit a crime you mental midget? You go to jail! I guess if you didn't want all of this attention, you probably shouldn't have become a drug dealer.

Barbara... I also read the disgusting post last evening from the 'screen name' Dedrick dabish suggesting parents are the ones at fault for kids buying the drugs. I also copied this blog post before it was deleted by the author or third party a few hours later. I would hope this can be traced, validated and entered as court evidence? Perhaps the Patch editor can retrieve the original message and URL source code and forward to the 41st District Court for further review.

If they can't, the Judge most certainly can. Dedrick's Internet/Phone activity can be tracked, all the Judge would need to do is order the records to be turned over to the Court. Many people are under the assumption that if they delete things or use alternate identities online or phone they can't be traced. They couldn't be more mistaken.

Barbara... Another thought-- Perhaps forward yesterday's erased blog postings to the Shelby Twp.Police Department from the screen name 'dedrick dabash'. This may encourage them to take lead role to investigate further with the Shelby Patch folks.

Great idea Sarah! I'll check, I'm sure an attachment would go through to them....if one can email them.

Thanks for the great info ! I am on it and will be writing my letter tomorrow!

Thanks for info on March 28th/1pm court date. That gives us all lots of time to plan for a huge demonstration at the courthouse with the proposed theme being ... Shelby residents against any Dabish plea bargains -- full trial with maximum jail terms for all needs to be our rallying cry!

I will forward this information to Channel 7 action News

Sarah Please come and join Michigan Ban k2 on Face Book...! We welcome your support!

The "problem" is they were wildly successful. The hypocrites screaming for their heads need to look around and ask who was buying their products. Surly it wasn't the children of these propitious hypocrites... of course not.

Legal or Not they need to be accountable for their actions.

What haters lmaooo! Get a life
