      It's getting like the lawless Old West around here.

        These guys are in it for the money right? If they didn't have the drug trade it would be something else like car theft or robbery. They'd still fight over turf.

          They would still fight Doc, but the profits in the other illegal markets, except for prostitution and gambling, are not nearly as large, therefore less violence over who controls the market.

              The turf wars, the empowerment of the mobs, and the insatiable public demand for alcohol were what brought an end to the original prohibition against alcohol. Probably the reason they call it the War on Drugs and not prohibition is because they are afraid the public will make the connection and call for legalization. :speculation alert:

                Most of the violence is by street gangs, which don't make that much money anyway. In fact, if there was plenty of money to be made I'd expect less violence. It's when incomes get tight that the fighting begins.

                Oh, ther's a lot of money in car theft too. In the 1970s criminal profits from car theft exceeded that from drugs. At that time cocaine hadn't yet beome popular, heroine was on the decline, and home grown weed was so common that bags sold for less than $20.

                  Gang violence accounts for less than 5% of the national homicide rate.

                      That is 5% too much.

                        I guesss what I'm trying to say is that we don't understand exactly what the problem is. I haven't known many fo these guys, but the ones that I've had a chance to talk to don't really seem to understand themselves. While not classically insane they don't understand what exactly drives them. Unfortuantely they often don't really care either. Much of their violence is displaced aggression

                          I think you mean physiologically.

                              I can't argue with that. The causes of crime have plagued us for millenia.
