Crime abhors a vacuum

The old idiom “Nature abhors a vacuum” applies to crime as well. As long as there are customers for illegal services, there will be sellers, and we shouldn’t be surprised that they’re often nasty folks. A recent crackdown on the Hells Angels – and the earlier implosion of Taz Sandham’s Bandidos – has created a predictable scramble for turf in Winnipeg, with a spate of murders. What’s particularly disturbing is the young age of many of the victims. Until control is established, we can expect things to get worse before they get better. In many ways, it’s like the escalation of violence in Montreal’s underworld, with the absence of Vito Rizzuto, who’s due to be released from an American prison in 2012 on murder conspiracy charges.
