Animals

You know what always cracks me up? People are always complaining about black gangs and Latin gangs, and immigrants in gangs or whatever. They think these people are the scum of the earth, and refer to them as animals. Meanwhile, people romanticize bikers and the Mafia, even though they are as bad, if not worse than the Crips or the Bloods or whatever else there is. They are all criminals, they murder, sell drugs and pimp out women, but somehow it's the minorities and immigrants that get all the grief. In fact, most of the Italian, Irish, Russian etc gangs came about because they were immigrants that got treated like shit and had very limited options to get ahead. Trump even refers to them (Ms13 members or immigrants in general, go with however you see it) as "animals", yet I haven't seen him say derogatory things about Nazis and skinheads and other white supremacists that spew hateful shit and engage in criminal activity.
I'm not really a fan of labelling anyone as animals anyway. Are there some really terrible and sadistic psychopaths in gangs? Yes, of course, but probably at the same ratio of psychopaths in business or government. Most of the people in gangs are just like a lot of poor and disenfranchised people who deal drugs or become prostitutes or whatever. That's not saying it makes it right, but it also doesn't make them animals or any less human.
In fact, it makes them more human. Humans are fallible and prone to mistakes. Humans are likely to do what they have to, to help their families, to provide for their children. Humans want to better themselves and get ahead, and many times most of them go about it the wrong way.
So some of you will dismiss me as a bleeding heart, soft on crime or however else you want to label me, but I really don't give a shit. The world is full of criminals, and I am more worried about the ones running our government right now, to be honest. They are busy destroying the environment, the economy, and people's lives on a wholesale level. They are the real animals.
