- aegypti 2y agoThe only thing those people melt into are prison populations and early graves, it’s a (loose) international crime organization and very much still active especially in the EU and Australia IIRC.
- TimeBearingDown 2y agoScare quotes on people? I know I’m a bit sensitive to dehumanization, but really?
- keyboardcaper 2y agoYou don’t think they have built that public image themselves?
- TimeBearingDown 2y agoIf we are to dehumanize career criminals, there are countless thugs, gangs, despots, governments, and militaries with far fewer scruples and a far worse legacy than the Hell’s Angels. but the point is, dehumanization is anathema to civilized society.
- aegypti 2y agoSorry, it’s more flair than anything. I don’t think they specifically are realistically at risk of that, but I get it re: crime as a whole
- TimeBearingDown 2y agoCool - no worries. Pardon if that sounded like an accusation.
- amiantos 2y agoMy understanding is they're one of the few groups still manufacturing LSD these days. I met a guy many years ago who allegedly was in with them and that was the explanation for why he had an entire vial full of LSD he was handing out like candy.
