I witnessed what was going on in person.I work in Euclid Oh and was driving past one of the cafe's where there were about 6 cop cars and a bunch of other cars there and they were inside.At 1st I thought it might have been a robbery but it turned out to be a raid.I think its kind of weird now that we have a casino and a racino that all these raids are starting to happen on internet cafe's, makes me think that the casino and racino don't want money going anywhere else except to them. HMMMMMMMM
