Most gangland murder is boring, pedestrian, even accidental stuff
A high proportion are enforcement work “gone wrong”. A blow struck one time too many; an eggshell skull.
You know how it is: you’re perhaps new to the industry, you’ve had a drink to relax and prepare yourself, and you go a teensy bit too far and end up beating one of your employer’s debtors to death with a tyre iron while they’re strung up by their feet from the ceiling with a sack tied over their head. You didn’t mean to kill them. You did it “wrong”: you only meant to inflict grievous bodily harm and frighten and intimidate them into doing what you want (in this case, paying up). We’ve all been there.
Given the context in which these “murders” happen, is it really fair for so-called victims to hide in “safe houses” and exclusionarily bar gentlemen like myself from coming inside?
