I don’t think they were implying that it’s easy for a normal person to become a criminal, but rather that the people who get into gang life are, in a way, toughened by the fact that they grew up around gang violence. They’re beyond fucked mentally by the time they join the gang. These are people who aren’t scared to kill. They may regret their lifestyles, but find it too hard to get out. It’s easier to just keep on doing armed robberies and murders.
Whereas ICE may be fascists, but how many of them have been in deadly firefights before? How many of them heard bullets whizzing by at the age of 3?
I, too, think ICE would pussy out of a fight against actual gangbangers.
