It was. The people that were killed in my neighborhood were all dealers. The were offed quickly within a 3 day period before the kill squad moved on to a new area. They killed about 5-6 of them during the night.

The old mayor who allowed it to fester lost the election before that happened.

The smaller fry like the bike sidecar drivers and tricycle drivers were rounded up and imprisoned. These were guys who worked in public transport, were transporting elementary school children, but were actually drug dealers.
