I don’t think they’re trying as in the Mexican people.
They clearly prefer to live with gangs, or else gangbangers wouldn’t be rewarded with luxuries and sex.
It’s a cultural issue. They don’t care if a gangbanger got rich killing the families of cops. All they care about is that the gangbanger provides them with money.
Until they stop putting wealth on a pedestal and start holding people accountable for how they get that wealth, these problems won’t get solved.
