the death of 1,000 people, including children, surely has to fall under the category of unintended consequences Did you read the story? It said that 977 people had lost their lives in drug-related "gangland killings" 16 drug suspects killed by the police. Was the nine year old boy killed by the police are by the drug dealers, like what happens in america all the time, dopers drive by and kill each other and anybody in the crossfire is dead.
