ME gangs use kids to carry out m*rders. This is not something that is typical of our criminals. Most m*rders were carried out by the leading figures themselves, not random kids in their midteens. They were well trained, so they would have next to no civilian casualties. They would typically not target familymembers or random friends that had no involvement in this lifestyle.
The two leading somali gangs (who’re no longer around alx) would not target family homes. Middle-eastern gangs are blowing up FAMILY homes, k*lling the relatives of their opps or sometimes randoms because they get the address wrong. The kids they use to carry out murders have little experience with guns and don’t even remember the faces of those they were sent out to unalive, so they end up accidently unaliving random people.
I noticed with our criminals that there are alot of religious and somali cultural norms that keeps them from doing alot of this stuff. I can’t imagine a somali guy killing someones mom for example.
You could reach out to the opposing side and tell them that you’re done with this lifestyle and they’d leave you alone (if you hadn’t unalived someone).. contrast that with what one of these dhegocas did recently, they slowly tortured and unalived a 14 old on tape because he lost a gun or something.
There was an expert in media going into details about the differences between the ’old’ kind of gangviolence (keena) and how the environment had changed the last few years but ofc he doesn’t mention ethnicgroups.
