You really are an idiot, aren't you?  If there is one thing a gang would NOT
do, its nuke their own turf.  That's what gangs are all about, controlling turf
and everything that goes down inside the boundaries of that turf.  And they're
into the business of drugs.  It simply isn't good business to blow up your
customers.

You say it doesn't take brains to kill?  Let's put you up against a trained
Navy Seal.  Its him against you.  Who do you think is going to win?  We'll even
provide YOU with some limited intel and give you a 24 hour head start.  You'll
still lose.

If you don't like that scenario, how about this one?  During Vietnam, we sent a
large number of two man LRRP teams into the bush behind enemy lines.  Their job
was to penetrate deep into enemy territory to find and kill high ranking enemy
officers.  They lived off the land, sometimes for weeks or months, far behind
enemy lines without getting caught, and knowing that capture meant death.  It
doesn't take brains to kill?  You're a fool if you believe that.
