This story revolves around illegal aliens that are in the country and at least one is killed. What ruined this for me was that it mitigates the fact that they make gang members heroic for being in the country illegally. They even make it seem like a 'drive by' shooting is okay ... since nobody was killed. HOWEVER, the fact remains that these are gangs that shoot people ... legal or illegal! You want me to feel sympathy for someone illegal, then they shouldn't be portrayed as thieves, killers, or members of gangs.
