| Media hysteria on street racing
Ever notice that street racing gets the media going like Nancy Grace over a dead toddler?
How come there has been a rash of shootings, yet next to 0 discussion on a change of our drug laws?
How come there has been next to 0 discussion on increasing the penalty for being caught with restricted firearms?

How many years has street racing been big on the news? How many years has this "gang" was been on the news.
Just a matter of time.

because gangs have huge influence on politicians and civil servants and most street racers can't even vote.

^ werd. Cops generally don't accuse you of street race before writing a ticket no more anyway. Media hype over = better for everyone.

Because street racers are perceived as being a bigger threat to society. Nobody gives a shit that some drug dealers get shot. In fact, most people probably think it's a good thing.

at least with stabbing it's harder to miss.
