  > Why is that relevant? Are you implying that this somehow justifies the gang behavior? Explaining, not justifying. Gang-like organisations react more forcefully to perceived betrayal (one up from competition) than bog-standard adversarialism.

        To me it works the other way round. You wouldn't want evidence it will happen, you would want evidence it wont happen. I think there will be no consequences if they go there?
