Key phrase, "Without fear of retribution". Kids in DC street gangs may show a sense of bravado, but they know damn well if they get pinched they are going to the joint and it isn't going to be pretty. In the last place I lived on Capitol Hill, my next door neighbor had done seven years for bank robbery when he was 19. I don't care how tough you are, seven years is hard time. Another neighbor was constantly in and out of jail for various crimes.
Compare to Gaza, where crowds come out to cheer on the lunatics who parade through the streets chanting "Death to Israel, Death to USA!". The Palestinian people have come unglued. >Anacostia? > >> respect for the rule of law. Where else do you see armed gangs roaming >> the streets killing people at will without fear of retribution? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:195847 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
