and about most gang members getting caught for they murders i disagree, i'd say its about a %50 chance of getting caught...... depends on a lot of things but luck plays a factor.....
you are talking about today, there is about a 50% clearance, but as the years go on, for example the unsolved murders that occurred in 2004 will slowly get solved. By 2010, that number will rise to 60 - 65% of the murders of 2004 solved. And 20 years from now, could go up to 70 - 80% of the murders for 2004 will be solved. Los Angeles will not get 100% clearance for all murders in any one year, because some assailants end up getting killed themselves, and others go to prison for other killings, etc.
But in the 1970s there was not alot of murders, and most of the 1970s murders in Los Angeles have been solved, and no where has anyone every suggested that Tookie Williams was doing alot of killing back then. That's just my take on it. People are so influences by perceived reputations, that they hear one story, and they think they did so much more damage. There is just no such evidence.
