Are you kidding me?? Why are you so set on blaming society for what the public and every reasonable person knows is organized crime. Thats what gangs are and that is what they represent. Have you never even seen mafia on myspace or grand theft auto. These thugs are being glorified!! Just because they are not out killing eachother every night does not make them misunderstood lost souls that the heart bleeding public should empathize with. Please stop feeding us this intellectualized crap. With advice like yours helping us fight the war against gangs it is no wonder we are loosing this battle. Now I hear everyone saying that if we legalize drugs all of this will just go away. How does that even make sense?!?! We need to face up to the fact that this lawlessness is organized and is being orcistrated on a grand scale. This is the diliberate wearing down of societal bounds. It will continue to get worse untill people stand up and say we will not take this, we will not tolerate it, gangs are not alowed! I would agree that gangs are missunderstood, but I feel that the missunderstanding is that they are much more dangerious than enyone gives them credit for.

I will illistrate my point. I met a good young man that belonged to a gang but was no longer active. He told me that even though he was no longer active in the gang that he was bound to help them anytime they might show up at his door. Once your in the only way out is the grave. I have meet many other gang members who confined this every time. What is more is that they believe that there is no place to hide. No matter where you go they can find you. How would little street thugs, venting their anger at the world get ahold of resources that span the globe?? It is not rocket science. Gangs are well organized crime units. Their soul intent is to undermine society as a whole, which their retoric makes obvious.
