Basti, there IS a way to combat it, but most people just don’t have the stomach for it…

Gangs have been a problem in the US since the early 1800’s, late 1700’s.

The names of the gangs change as do their racial/ethnic make-up. The one thing that remains a constant is the feeling of ‘belonging to something special’. You see the same thing in the military with elite troops and there it is a good thing, however with gangs it isn’t good, but no way has ever been found to combat this.

I’d join up with that posse in a heartbeat buddy.
Like it says in one of my favorite songs:
“Send ‘em all to their maker, and he’ll set ‘em down.”
