Why are illegal drug-related street deals associated with violent acts like murder/shootings.
In: Culture
This is because sometimes you get groups of people (gangs) that like to sell drugs in a certain area, and if another group decides they want to sell their product in that particular area it makes the other group angry. The other group will send warnings and have talks and if they don’t listen and keep selling their product on the other groups area, confrontation will break out. They can’t exactly call the cops to get rid of someone so they handle it themselves. Another less common thing that will happen is that people will attempt to buy drugs but not have enough money. They’ll attack the dealer which is generally regarded as a bad idea. Lastly when you have an area known for selling drugs you attract a group of people that generally aren’t known for their rational thinking. Conflict can arise, crime can go up etc.
