TRUE CRIME & RELATED

[Fluid Fetish]

I think Philip K. Dick is a shining example of how drug induced psychosis can actually be beneficial especially in an artistic sense to give a contrasting example.

an illustration, perhaps, and more luck than design, open to debate as well.
talking about any benefits to psychosis, is, to me, romantic and naïve.

A valid and understandable point, glorifying mental illness or drug induced psychosis is probably how it came across but not how I intended at all. I disagree that it's more 'luck then design' however. 

I just believe that these factors can contribute to creativity in a variety of constructive and amazing ways but usually at great cost...another individual who I'm a fanatic fan of and another good example would be Syd Barrett.

I've heard very similar theories both paranoid and non-conspiratory that the FBI has done the same thing with drugs, distributing them and trafficking in order to achieve certain aims. Politicans have been doing it for years so no surprise I suppose.

lack of certifiable results/sources will always tend to vagueness and 'conspiracy theories' that murky the waters.

Well, although a lot of these theories have no certifiable results or sources, there are several instances historically of politicans and presidents over here in the US supporting drugs, drug cartels, and trafficking such as the Reagan administration being one of the most recent and obvious instances, so not all of these ideas are based on vague, tin foil hat wearing nonsense exactly.

First they try to tax us without representation 240 years ago and then they steal the names of our gangs!

Moss Side Bloods and the Rusholme Crips does sound kind of cute though, silly Brits.

don't see any cross pollination between inner city black crack gangsters and  noise. if only! Vials of crack or heroin named after classic HNW releases etc. who could resist total slitting of throats crack? etc.

this portrays UK gangs in the usual banal context. black, drug and territory obsessed.
not to say this isn't true
a.local news is often punctuated with the fallout from this crape.

Other than the car being found, I haven't seen anything about the women arrested.

Since there is a rap thread, I figured some had to be gang bangers, too.

I came across the UK show from comments on Twitter complaining that there were no white gangs included. Hell, I didn't know there were any blacks in the UK!

I heard the story of 'Purple Aki' through some friends a while ago so was quite surprised to see this story about him. Crazy story about a huge guy who likes to feel people's muscles -

apparently.
no on camera shooting or killing is disappointing(don't even remember any dealing)  and as a whole far too restrained to be that entertaining.
