LA's crime goes down, Stockton's rises. Stockton's been known for decades to be a destination for Crips moving northbound. I don't know why people can't see the obvious. The crime isn't going away. It's been swept to other places. Look how much worse crime has gotten in the high desert, Palmdale, Lancaster, since it's decreased in LA. Same for the Inland Empire. San Bernardino. Riverside. Moreno Valley. These used to be suburbs of LA. Now they ARE LA.
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
