imported from LA then... i just mean it's not locally based. but the gangs which actually commit the most murders where i'm from are mostly locally based. gangs like the crips and bloods and ms-13 rarely make the news. top 6, zoe pound, etc do.
i will look for the source it's been a while... it's pretty well known though. i remember becoming aware of it because of the gun debate, actually. the striking statistic was that london crime rates were about 4x higher than NYC in almost every category besides murder... which was not even a fraction of nyc. indicating a correlation between guns and our homicide rates
