I remember hearing a SW broadcast a decade or so ago about the drug trade in Baltimore. It reported that it’s highly fragmented, comparatively speaking, leading to a lot turf-war deaths.
Baltimore is "loaded" with drugs throughout....and they have a serious gang issues as well. Anytime these two are present it will set up "business" throughout a city. It doesn't help that they recruit and welcome foreigners..no questions asked..... because they are loosing their better citizens who are getting out
