Such an obscene waste of money and time trying to control what substances people choose to put in their own bodies. Stupid laws (and stupid "law enforcers") always equals "disorder". The bad laws (and bad enforcement) will always create slums and poor living environments. The bad laws come first. Massive police corruption involved, always is. Where there is power/money there is always corruption. The more money/power, the more corruption. Louis, who is normally insightful and questioning, does not offer any intelligent perspective. He just walks around like a stunned 4th grader on a field trip. Not a journalist in this one. A tourist. He asks "why this, why that?", but doesn't ask the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th "why's" that it takes to completely understand why South Philly is a mess. Did no one study what happened during Prohibition? Same. damn. thing.
