That's it: reasoning with the unreasonable won't get anyone far. Black and latino street gangs have an unlimited amount of criminal potential in the US, if only in numbers. Unfortunatly for them the G is less naive these days, and they've got a different structure, with sets fighting amongst each other and all. That doesn't really help. But then again most Italians in the early Black Hand days where also just ghetto street gangs praying on their own people. Being a gangster is not a fashion statement, and gangsterism is an equal opportunty employer.

And thanks for the very informative post.
