Agreed, and you make an important point. If you are involved in the drug culture even in a minor way this can be a very dangerous place to live. If you are going about your business trying to be a productive citizen not so much. Usually when you see a spike in murders and other serious crimes like assault, chances are theres some drug gangs going at each other. Many times people who get shot are reported in the media like it was a random event when in reality it was anything but.
