There is nothing glorious,nothing anime-worthy about these cases. There are victims on both sides - the crime victim of course,but also the child murderers are often somewhat a victim.

A murder is a murder,but often they don't know what they get themselves into.

The only winners are the cartel/gang bosses. As usual.
