Ever wonder why the locals tolerate the drug vendors in their neighbourhoods?
Ever wonder why they don't just gather up a group, and go pay a visit to the local drug dealer, and give him 4 hours to pack his stuff and leave?
I thought it might be out of fear, and fear does play a role, but that's not the real reason.
It's so ridiculous, it's hard to believe.
It's a type of Robin Hood syndrome.
The drug dealers are their friends and benefactors, at times.
The decent neighbours, kind of like/respect/fear the drug dealers.
The drug dealers don't have real jobs, and they live there in the communities, socializing, spending money in the local colmados and stores, maybe helping out some of their poor neighbours, buying them a meal, playing dominos with them, and last, but not least, THEY HAVE POLICE CONNECTIONS & PROTECTION !!!!
