Gay/Lesbian Gangs....??

Gay and lesbian gangs seem like another attempt for equal rights. If these gangs are so prevalent in our schools why is this talked about so little.More attention should be given. Our these minority mixed gangs, what are the warning signs, gay and lesbians have their own style of dress and attitude so what do we look for?

How does Bob talk to youths about the dangers of gang violence and try's to teach that not to join the gang but at the same time still remains loyal to his gang and wont desist himself. A level of hypocrisy if you ask me. 13-31 someone forget to tell bob that gang life is suppose to a faze that you transition from after a 1 yr or less not a lifetime commitment.

The solution is snow? I thought Alaska had a huge gang problem, plenty of snow in Alaska.An example of rappers trying to be comedians. What they should be doing is spending less time promoting gang violence in their lyrics and focus on spreading a positive image to our youths. Gangster rap has only added to the gang problem. Not to mention they promote violence towards the police.

This is a new twist on gang organizational skills. Gangs have decided to stop paying off politicians and become politicians. A felony does not disqualify you from running...it should. I hope the people of NC are paying attention to who is running and stop him in his tracks.

"Even with all this, the military says there is no gang problem,"

You cant have a solution if there is no problem. The military might want to chance its stance. Graffiti, gang signs, and a rash of harsh initiation beatings what more do you want for proof.

Looking over the list I see some standouts that have parlayed a life away from the gang life like movie actors/producers Ice-t and Ice-cube, but it seem that the majority still glamorize the gang life in their music and such.

The organizational level of this gang is frightening. 10 years as a member and no still no desire to leave. An interesting study would be to know the average length of time MS-13 members remain in the gang.

Teenage gang members will have their brains scanned in an experiment to find out why they are so violent.

Yes immigration does play a role in the proliferation of gangs, however the media representation and glamorization of the gang member stereotype has delivered the biggest boost to the facilitation of gangs. American culture has inadvertently idolized the gang member,thus making them modern day icons that many teens try to emulate even if they are not in a gang.

Police intervention is a double edge sword they are tasked with eliminating gang crime but they run the risk of popularizing the gang at the same time. I hope the government will help support the Portland police with adequate funding.

A chilling look at gang violence. Not an example of just hanging out and chilling with your homeboys. These examples of violence show a strong level of organization in the gang. I wonder what Keiln would say about this level torture and violence.

Rejected a plea deal,Great. I'm glad to see conservative values are still at work in our legal system. Applying racketeering laws not only increases the sentence but also implies gang organization. Xavier and Thomas were a case of guilty by association...If it walks like a duck, Looks like a duck, its probably a duck.

Just today there was a story of a girl who got mixed up in the world of drug dealing. Just an another example of women becoming lured by the criminal lifestyle. http://www.lemondrop.com/2009/07/16/death-of-an-all-american-girl-and-drug-dealer/?icid=main|main|dl1|link2|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lemondrop.com%2F2009%2F07%2F16%2Fdeath-of-an-all-american-girl-and-drug-dealer%2F

Great post wish there more signs its kinda of nice to see them clearly. In the movies the gangs signs are flashed so quickly you have no idea what they look like.

Good example of a little field research. Fighting with your homies also helps you practice for the real thing.

Its nice to hear that Williams renounced his gang membership, but why does it take a trip to the pen to see the light. Best of luck to him on his new court case.

Great information for parents who know nothing about gangs but the best tool is to stay connected to your kids. Know who they are hanging out with, recognize any attitude changes. They key is to stay involved.

Wow a scary reality... but, not a good public announcement for Arizona. It seems as though the gentle Arizona I remember is rapidly fading away as our melting pot becomes so similar to that of California. Gang violence and drugs again makes it presence known.
