I saw a special on L.A. gangs and it was stunning how young some were. One M.O. of the gangs was to have the young guys, like 14-15 year olds, do shootings because if caught they'd be treated as juveniles by the courts and would be back on the street on their 18th birthday. 14 year old sociopaths cold as ice who have already seen a lifetime of violence. You couldn't pay me enough to be an LAPD cop in Rampart or Crenshaw Division.
