as long as they dont harm the average person, i dont care

idk about the legit ones but the highschool ones are cringe lol

I think they’re fine if they keep to themselves, but I’ve never encountered anyone like that, so it’s hard to say how I would react in reality. In a larger sense, organized crime might be preferable to random crime if the police can maintain control over them, but if not, they could be pretty dangerous for society

I don't really know what to say, but I grew up in an area that, at the time, apparently had a lot of gang activity. I don't know much about it, I wasn't close to it, but sometimes in school we'd have really bizarre rules for what you can wear or not, because apparently certain things were gang-related. Like certain colors of shoelaces. The crime rate was also apparently high. Thankfully I didn't see much of it because I was an indoors kid

They're society outcasts, society made them , it's society that need to include them back for it to stop (apart if we're talking about drug dealers, some outcast themselves to make money faster they could in a normal way) 彼らは社会の追放者であり、社会が彼らを作ったものであり、それを止めるために彼らを社会に戻す必要があるのは社会です（麻薬の売人について話している場合は別として、通常の方法でできるより早く金を稼ぐために自分自身を追放する人もいます）

Idk, I've been around some dodgy people. It's not always easy to keep out of their business, but I don't ask many personal questions and most of them are just people. I feel like the ones I was friends with actively tried not to pull me into their stuff. So overall I give a resounding "eh" <:blobshrug:317430082325184522>

from experience i see a lot of people labeling these people completely evil and just a dark spot of society... which is true for the most part but it's not just black or white... but grey.. a lot of cities and even countries have corrupt law of order & police that only works for the govt. sooo if a govt. official committed a crime against you.. what will u do? whom will seek? who will help you?? Yes... these gangs... most of them might just further take advantage of you but the hope remains in some. it's a necessary evil.

Bad

they all have to be in jail, and suffer a bit

i have no idea but i feel like people shouldn’t romanticize things like these by making dhows manga anime etc

i dont know

mine still good compare to our neighbor country. Like you know, my country is near the Golden Triangle.

Weird

organized crimes here that i can remember from the news from way back are involved in stuff like kidnapping, || harvesting organs||, ||using kids to collect money in the streets||, drug trafficking so I dislike people who run such crime syndicates... but I do recognize that some of those in the lower rungs may have been forced by circumstances, which to me adds to the crimes of those running organized crimes (They are taking advantage of peoples' misery and hopelessness) and highlights the importance of social welfare (It benefits the community to take care of the needy)

if it works it works

I will think in the most famous one of my country, El Cartel de Medellin, and I think even if they pretend to be nice with the people around or doing good things just to create theirselves an image, It-s still unforgivable the bizarre and grotesque things they do just for business. In my personal opinion, hope they all just be in jail in a government that wouldn-t accept money from them

I think in general they’re either psycho or sociopaths and often also narcissist. Or that they were tricked/manipulated into joining (generally as a child or young adult). And then there’s Karas.

ooooooooo
