Wow, interesting stuff and more just a little depressing. I particularly liked the baby sleeping with money and guns around it.

Joseph Rodriguez's work on this subject is also noteworthy.

Before over romaticising this, go read in the hat.
These are probably among the cowards who shot a 6 year old this week.
They are not to be praised or lauded.
"Cool" is not the phrase i would use for them.

I hardly see how anyone could romanticize these. The ones of the guy crying in the graveyard and the massive surgery scars lay the truth pretty bare.

The photos *are* cool. The life they portray is deplorable.

Well said, scarabic.

Scarabic: I don't think that's crying he's doing in the graveyard. But yeah, from these pictures, if we didn't know anyway, these peoples lives look like filth.
