Gang Control
I was watching a documentary this weekend on the origin of the Bloods and Crypts and how the police are helpless trying to stop them. Shouldn't the National Guard be taking care of these guys? There should be a law stating that if you assemble more than "x" amount of armed and dangerous people, which the community considers a threat, than it should be treated in a military manner.
THAT IS ALL!

No, because that leave open the option for the national guard to break up protest groups, or the NRA or whatever.

Dangerous according to who? Too much room for abuse.
Train the cops better, isolate the gangs more from the 'civilians', and prosecute all gang members caught to the fullest extent of the law.

"which the community considers a threat"...man you know it's gonna be a long one when you gotta requote yourself to the first two comments lol.
if by "train the cops better" you mean assemble a "platoon" of cops, trained in military style battle, then yes i agree "isolate the gangs more from the 'civilians', please elaborate "prosecute all gang members caught to the fullest extent of the law", no doubt.

Hell, just look at congress! Two sides, radically opposed, doing everything they can to hurt the other team, and certainly ANYONE would agree that theyre dangerous and a threat - just look at them!

By many people's definition my gun club, old skeet club, target buddies and family are dangerous armed gangs. Those people would be morons, but they would still think it.

And for the record, it should be "Crips" not "Crypts."
The connotations are just... all wrong...

I've watched a city of a couple hundred thousand go down the drain at the hands of the Latin Kings and two smaller rival gangs. White flight, black flight, business flight... fear and loathing.
Right now in Philadelphia, people are killed in the street every day, and nobody sees a thing. Nope, not me, didn't see nothing, no how, no way.... followed by, why aren't the police doing something? The police are powerless to help the community if the community won't help the police.

Bruce, what would you spark if you sent that post to the Letters to the Editor at the Philadelphia Inquirer? Might those three paras be the straw that tips the balance?
