Kind of funny, but it reminds me of a video I saw the other day... a bunch of monkeys in Thailand descended on this town because all the tourists that feed them are gone. They literally invaded this town, starving, looking for food and beating the shit out of each other over breadcrumbs. I suspect we will see a slightly more civilized version of that with the mob. I suspect many will start dealing on the sneak, and the captains will be told to look the other way. Probably a lot of robberies as well. I wonder if the aqueduct robbery was them like "fuck, we better do something." I don't think killings are out of the question either. Guys get jealous, and if no one is making money those who do in this recession will have a big target on their back.
