Ed, it’s funny how all the papers, all the writers, when they talk about gangs they always talk about the Bloods and Crips. They let all the other gangs off, even the Mafia, as if they are not terrorizing our society. Even crime in this country discriminates. We need to get all of them off the streets, make them change their lives, but not lock them up for the rest of their lives because one stupid mistake made by this society is to put criminals all together. That’s the biggest mistake you can make. If you want to make any changes, you need to change their lives. They need time, direction and discipline, and they need it now. There’s a way to do it, and I have a plan.

Save Your

Don’t tell me. Does your plan include building rec centers and other places where they can find “constructive” ways to spend their time? If so, you’re way off base, because to fix the gang problem you need to start with the parents. Case closed.
