I was part of the Air Force effort at the Mariel Boatlift camp on Eglin AFB. 95+% of the folks there were good people - and the rest were some of the most violent, evil bastids you'd hope never to meet. Those were, naturally, the ones Castro dumped from his prisons and hid amongst the families.
But the families knew. Many were the discrete nods and shrugs towards young men they knew were bad'uns. When the riot started, those were indeed the bad'uns.
