Another aspect is that fighting amongst each gang is fostering a criminal environment.

Some deserve it because they non-repentance killers or to be serial killers while other should not deserve it because of the circumstances required them. Juveniles who killed people without any mercy should be treated as an adult and be given Juvenile Life Without Parole(JLWOP). For example, the murderer of Jennifer Jenkins’ pregnant sister and her husband. Jennifer describes, “[Jenkins’s Sister] begged for the life of her unborn child as [the killer] shot her. He reported to a friend, who testified at his trial, about his ‘thrill kill’ that he just wanted to ‘see what it would feel like to shoot someone’”(Jenkins).

After a couple of bank robberies, Luke’s luck runs out and is killed accidentally by an ambitious, rookie street cop named Officer Avery Cross, which introduces the viewers to the second story in the movie. After Avery accidentally shoots Luke, he is left to deal with a guilty conscience over what really happened. He, however, uses this as a shortcut into a better job which explains how this “second section of the movie is mostly about Avery and his rise to power,” (O’Hehir). After we see Avery get away with the murder, the storyline forwards fifteen years which helps keep the mystery of the movie. The viewers then meet Avery’s son, A.J.

Both the brothers and the two Sheriffs at times were both the protagonists and antagonists. The brothers were breaking the law, but doing it for their family so you wanted them to get away with the crime. Yet, the Sheriffs were doing their job to stop the brothers, yet when the sheriff gets shot, the brother becomes the antagonists.

Then later on sided with Erik because he killed Klaw and he wanted someone who could make a change.

On the other hand, Cruz was really affected because he lost his brother to a drug overdose. Cruz blamed himself for his brothers loss and began drinking and doing more
