Good points.
The fact that we had more incidents at the stadium is analogous to the outside world. Aldon Smith had no reason to consider the idea that gangbangers would have the desire to show up at his party.
But like you said, they're becoming more and more involved in mainstream culture, especially sports.
There is no way for Aldon or his friends to have had any idea that this could happen. It makes sense if you live in California, and understand how that type of incident could easily happen. I don't know much about Missouri, but I'm guessing it's like a different planet compared to California.
On that same note, I'm betting a DUI is probably not seen of as big of a deal in Missouri (Let's look it up).
So I open up the Wikipedia article, and guess what? The first words on the page say, "The alcohol laws of Missouri are among the most permissive in the United States, ...".

Aldon just doesn't understand where he is or who he is right now. No one is really there to explain it to him. And no, having Michael Irvin squawking on stage about "leaving the ghetto behind" is not what I mean.
The DUI was in Miami but the charge was dropped per Maiocco.
Is that really from a story about Aldon?
