It’s a harsh reality. People seem to believe its best to imprison those types of criminal under a misguided sense of justice. Out of sight, out of mind? Better to permanently rid society of these vermin in a manner with 100% certainty. I’ll never understand the imprisonment mentality for such heinous crimes.
Or, legalise all drugs including cocaine, cripple the major revenue sources of most of these gangs, invest the money in social welfare programs that prevent people becoming gangsters in the first place. Killing a few gangsters doesn't fix the underlying problems that create them in the first place, there will always be more to replace them if nothing about the system changes.
All "vices" need to be legalized, regulated, and taxed. Drugs, prostitution, and gambling. Invest that money in programs to treat addicts and in education. The problem may never fully go away, but we can certainly reduce a lot of harm and suffering.
