Me: "I mean, did you read the indictment? It reads like the screenplay to a gangster movie, and you're like 'Do these people really talk like this?'"
RX: "It's life imitating art imitating life, the same way people learn bad gun-handling from watching movies."

All that's needed was for one of the conspirators to be playing with a hatchet while discussing the smuggling, and the match would be complete.
"You see this shit in bad television! Little commando guys crawling through the air vents, that shit doesn't happen in real life."
The FBI lied, the Congressman lied, the reporters ignore the story because it isn't 'news'. Yes, we are definitely learning everything from the screen. Bad gun handling and fears based on fictions presented on screen. Exactly.
I read through the indictment and was impressed by the diversity of the players. Chinese gangsters with Americans of multiple national origins (Thais, Laotians and Cambodian), black gangster and La Cosa Nostra affiliates, weed smugglers, coke runners, Filipino arms smugglers, crooked politicians of all race and national origins. I have to admire their commitment to diversity!
It's like a United Nations of criminals all getting together to rip off and oppress innocent folks . . . um, wait . . .
Am I missing out on something here? Doesn't this just show that when rocket launchers are outlawed, only Democrats will have rocket launchers?
