Response to 17 gang killings.

These random killings seem really creepy and sketchy to me. It's not like this was throughout a long period of time, like months...it was only four days. I also think it's weird how they were at strange times as well. It seems as if some of the deaths were just outrageous and there was no reason for them to be harmed. At the same time though, the LAPD claims that gangs and or drugs were involved. If that's true, which it seems to be, then there would be more of a reason for something like this to happen. Reading this made me think a little more about what gangs actually do. I didn't think that they'd all of a sudden go out and kill almost twenty people, it's outrageous. Now I'm kind of curious to know what their motives are and if they just randomly hunt people for fun, or if they keep it strictly business.
