ScarFace, Miami Vice, Cocaine Cowboys all show the Fast Life, Fast Money, Fast Cars, Fast Babes and even the Faster Downside when Coke Dealers "Step over that imaginary White Line" known as "Cocaine 101".

"Stepping over the White Line" is a Line Dealers, fueled by Greed gingerly step over when they feel invincible, such as portrayed in Hollywood Movies.

Stepping over the White Line is a term used in the Cocaine World, where Dealers "Take food from the Middle Man's plate." Always with Dire Consequences, usually quite Gory and Graphic, with Symbolic Meanings to send a message to other Cocaine Dealers, who forget the Cardinal Rule of  Sales and Distribution.

Hussein El-Hajj Hassan was one such Ottawa Cocaine Dealer, who cut out the middle man, fueled by Greed decided to shop The Big Box Wholesale Store instead of the established Distribution Outlets.   The Cocaine World is a world where everybody knows your name (eventually).  Hussein, was caught, literally with his pants down, down around his ankles, as a Pick Axe sent body parts flying, sending the Cocaine 101 message home.

Cocaine 101 rarely give retests for a failing grade.    

Hussein El-Hajj Hassan was shot once through the heart and once through the gut, his head bludgeoned and his right hand severed before the man was buried face down in a shallow grave, jurors heard in the first-degree murder trial of Shant Esrabian.

Esrabian is the first of three men to stand trial, accused for his role in the August 2004 slaying of Ottawa cocaine dealer El-Hajj Hassan.

Esrabian has maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings.

Expert testimony continued yesterday with forensic pathologist Dr. Brian Johnston presenting jurors with often graphic slides of El-Hajj Hassan's autopsy, and of the wooded west-end pathway where his body was discovered by a passerby nearly a year after his death.

Police exhumed the body, which was found face down in a crouching position, his boxer shorts around his ankles, on June 28, 2005. The autopsy was performed the following day.
