it ain't personal, its just business

I have to respect the ability of crimelords to manage their politics, alliances and enemies and figure that there are plenty of these kinds of people who really exist. That takes guts! The guys who do well have common sense, savvy and a wealth of cleverness. You might even call them courageous, some call them heroes.

Outlaws or terrorists or gang bangers whatever you want, in my humble estimation will commonly...

1. claim they are victims.
2. demand respect and carry marks of honour.
3. take revenge when they are disrespected, dishonoured or wronged.
4. claim that their cause, actions and character are ultimately justified.

Conversely they allegedly...

1. Victimize others.
2. Plot to usurp and destroy competition, 'friend' or not.
3. Are instigators when the time is right for them.
4. Let others suffer and take falls to avoid losing power, soiling their own image, denying responsibility.

But don't listen to the second part its probably all lies, and after all, the government does it too anyway, we're all human. It's really sad actually, that these fellows have to endure the stress of a life of distrust & paranoia, violence, fear, and constant subterfuge. Go easy on the gangsters, its a hard knock life; they probably didn't even have a choice from the very beginning!
