It's all bull and bluster, trying to live up to the 'gangsta' image. Egotistical, narcissistic crap. Well, I'm afraid, the consequences were harsh but I suppose that goes with the territory. People are now living in fear in our inner cities because of gang culture / warfare and innocent people are often caught in the crossfire. The line has to be drawn somewhere otherwise society will descend in to total chaos. Noone wants their kids growing up in a country where you fear for them every time they go out the door. You play with fire, you get burned, simple.
