Lasthe I knew alcohol was killing more Gallup residents than WuFlu.
They never locked down Gallup over alcohol abuse.
It was around 1976 when i drove through downtown Gallup and there were 6 straight blocks of down-trodden individuals sitting on the sidewalk with a brown paper bag of something in their lap. Super sad. Hope its gotten better.
If you go to Page, AZ right after the local Indians get their monthly check you will find a bunch of them passed out on the grass in town. Some still in their Native American costumes they use to put on shows for the tourists.
Can't speak to how it is now but that last time I was there around 2004 the state police didn't bother giving the local Indian's DUI's because they would just cry racism. Moral of the story; stay away from all reservations when they get their month checks.
