Freakonomics fans - gang activity
 
http://www.freakonomics.com/blog/200...w-whom-to-ask/

Great read - essentially, the guy is a sociology student who went and hung out with a crack-dealing gang for a few months. This is just his answers to some of the questions people posed about the realities of "gang life."

I caught this on the Freakonomics blog RSS feed.
Good read.

No, they just use them. And their killings are largely accidental.

But in all seriousness, good catch.
