Some are saying its a reaction to them having no opportunities and being poor ect. IMO its cuz they are scum and dont give a damn about anyone else and they think they are clever.
Just to add, the shoot man was a known crack dealer and involved in gangs.
Well, I knew nothing of it til now and it seems this one has arm and legs.....

I dont think most of them who are doing it actually have a reason to be doing it. They are just copying in a mob mentality because they are enjoying it, getting free stuff and no one is stopping them.

so there isnt any reason then, just bad folk
