Today, I work for a charity in Harlem. The largest charity donation we received all year was donated by a prominent drug dealer and gang leader that lives in the neighborhood. MMT

Kinda reminds me of how Al Capone started the first soup kitchen in chicago when the great depression. It didn't completely make me think, as I know that many prominent gangsters are very charitable, partially to give back, partially because it gets support from the community for them. Not trying to downplay what this guy's done, just trying to explain that it's not completely unusual.

Wow. What Barky1423 said is true, but it still is inspiring that these people who are commonly thought of as being good-for-nothings and criminals are still making more of a difference in a positive way than most of us are.
