Gangs? Mafia? Mobsters?

Talked to a friend today. And I really salute her for what she did. She kinda handled a gang-related case at Chan Wa 2 yesterday. It takes a great deal of guts to do what she did. Visit her blog for the whole story.
Anyway. Let's talk about gangsterism today. It's so rampant nowadays. And they're recruiting youngsters fresh out of primary schools. And sad to say, Chan Wa has always been associated to this dark side of society. Far from being prevented from entering school gates, it has burrowed underground, leaving a seemingly calm exterior to Chan Wa's reputation. But then again, I digress. Gangs aren't as uncommon as many of us would like to think. All those Hollywood flicks about mobsters and gangs, seem like universes away. In reality, it's happening under our very own noses, shrouded by the veil of darkness and secrecy. Once you're in it, it's for life. But perhaps I'm over-exegerating. Not.
Gangs are like the dark side of our daily, routine lifes. They lead the kind of lifes, many of us yearn deep down. The living on the edge, the recklessness, the twisted kind of freedom to do as you please, the ability to control many's destiny and life with a single gesture, a single act, a single word. It's kinda like tasting forbidden fruit. All the exhilaration, the rush of adrenaline, the pumping of the heart, so ever fast and furious. The fast and hard life everyone shied from, yet wanting to have a taste of what it's like.
Hmm.. Don't know what else to say edi. Exhausted my brain thinking of that paragraph.. LOL! So, I'll stop here? Ciaozzz!!
