After all, life would be so much more boring without the latin kings (the dominant gang in my immediate area) and all the other various gangs driving by (or bicycling by) shooting each other and anyone else lucky enough to be out and about. And how about all those gainfully employed crack dealers. Wouldn't want them to be unemployed. They might just end up in one of those dead end jobs that illegals now take, instead of staking out a corner and paying protection to the police, and hiding the drugs and guns in some kids diapers, and paying a few shorties to look out for who's coming up the street, and making lawyers wages (for a while) until they have a bigger drug problem or someone shoots them in the head. Or how about all the illegals (nice kids, fresh off the farm) from the way south of Mexico that are brought here (by the gangs) and live in some sleazy hotel dealing heroin until the cops catch on and then they have to move to another sleazy hotel and deal heroin until the cops catch on (and so on and so on), until a year goes by and they are now heroin addicts themselves (picture 6 guys in an un-airconditioned hotel room for a year in southern California with nothing to do but answer the door, with somebody having a gun available at all times in the back-24 hours a day-sleep in shifts, eat KFC) and then the cops finally bust them and send them back or the gang decides their habit is too expensive and sends them back, replacing them with a new batch of fresh off the farm kids. And on and on and on.
