** All of those informants, anti-heroes and "friends of the community" were still criminals and people, in a lesser degree than the big sharks of the setting yeah, but still, were getting hurt to some degree by their little peccadilloes that the heroes were letting slide either because of ignorance or SkewedPriorities. Someone still has to look out for the little guy.
