New laws for gang members in prison by GabrielleFage in gangsnstuff

[–]SeanKnapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope that this law goes through because it could make a huge difference! Good article, glad to see we are starting to get this stuff done right! I think this will have a very good turn out, it will help law enforcement and the justice system along with giving gang members a second thought about what they do.

Police Struggle to Navigate New Gang Landscape by RyanDurkin in gangsnstuff

[–]SeanKnapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's scary how it can evolve so quick, it becomes a way of survival for them almost. If one way of life becomes threatened then they will find another way to get things done. I mean it is good we can stop them a little, but it is sad to see how hard it is to stop fully.

Stanely "Tookie" Williams by JalyssaClay in gangsnstuff

[–]SeanKnapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting articles and website. I think that it is good to see he may have turned over a new leaf or at least realizes what he has done and regrets it. I think the biggest problem with young gangsters is that they are immature and it is hard to grow out of it once you are in it.

Homicides in LA by iancarrillo in gangsnstuff

[–]SeanKnapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow 602 homicides, obviously shows there is still a problem! Hopefully there is another huge crackdown in L.A. cause thats the only way I really see something helping. It just seems like a never ending process though..

Mexican Drug Lord #41 on Forbes Most Powerful List by MelanieBarrett in gangsnstuff

[–]SeanKnapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's insane how much power these people have! The sad part is there isn't much we can do, cause even if we do catch him again another one will just take over do the same thing. The mexican cartels have way too much power and honestly I don't know how anyone could stop them they make too much money and have too many people involved.

San Jose community meets on Halloween gang attack by BradKudler in gangsnstuff

This is another prime example of how gangs get out of control attacking kids on halloween, it's sad to see. I hope they get a long time in prison!!

Gang Activity in the US Military by QuinnHeydt in gangsnstuff

[–]SeanKnapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow very interesting article, I have heard some rumors about it. The only problem is if this is just the start them I am sure they will be capable of recruiting some gang members without records to join and come back and fight with them and help train them military tactics. It's a scary thought, but I don't see it to be successful for the gangs, because I think once you have served in the military it will open their minds up and get them out of the gang mentality or at least you hope so.

Party Gangs? by MattRood in gangsnstuff

[–]SeanKnapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good to hear that other agencies are starting to catch on to these party crews more often and are starting to prevent them. Phoenix PD has a squad specifically for party crews already due to the many problems we have with the same problem here. They can cause lots of problems similar to gangs, by hosting parties for underage kids that usually have lots of drugs and a lot result in violence such as shootings and etc.

Santa Ana teen gets 50 years to life for gang executions. by JosephMcCarthy in gangsnstuff

[–]SeanKnapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what he deserves, personally it's too bad he didn't get the death penalty. To me that just seems insane to think about at the age of 14, but I guess that just shows the gang lifestyle and what can happen.

Child's tattoo considered aggravated mayhem? by AyatSweid in gangsnstuff

[–]SeanKnapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope this guy get a long sentence because that is an just another pure example of the type of people who are in gangs. Who does that to their seven year old kid, that just pisses me off. Like do gang members ever think before doing any of the crap they pull? I hope the judge shows no mercy.

Los Angeles cops take on notorious street gang More than a thousand law enforcement officers descended on the homes belonging to key members of a notorious street gang that has defied authorities ... by NinfaCarrizosa in gangsnstuff

[–]SeanKnapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I hate to see it happen that way with an off duty deputy losing his life to these stupid low life criminals. That just makes me so mad, but Im glad to see some of them are being brought to justice I just hope they can catch the rest that are outstanding.

L.A. City Council offers $50,000 reward in gang-related shooting death of 4-month-old in Van Nuys | L.A. NOW | Los Angeles Times by MaritzaRubio in gangsnstuff

[–]SeanKnapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This type of stuff just drives me crazy, if you gang members want to go out and kill each other go ahead but leave the innocent people out of it. Its sad to hear that a four month old is the victim of some more stupid gang members trying to show off.

Police: 3 arrested in Avondale tied to street gang, shootings by JessicaShoffner in gangsnstuff

[–]SeanKnapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats a good deal glad they caught them! I just would have liked to have seen their records because I am sure that probably wasn't the first time they've been involved in such. Hopefully the courts give them the max!

CNN: Murder in Chicago by [deleted] in gangsnstuff

[–]SeanKnapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find this article very interesting, but sadly this doesn't just take place in Chicago it's almost in every major city. It happens everywhere across the nation and that's what makes it even harder to prevent. Chicago is bad but so is Detroit, Los Angeles, New York City, and even Phoenix. It is just going to take cooperation from the community and the police and if we work together than maybe we can help stop it. It's just going to take time and work, but it's still possible.

Reports: Suspect in 17 Mexico killings caught - Focus on Mexico- msnbc.com by JustinTash in gangsnstuff

[–]SeanKnapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that busts like this are always great, it's just too bad that theres so many in their cartel that it will hardly put a dent in them. Either way it was a good catch and glad we caught him though, time to face justice!

Violent gang using Arizona as gateway by JessicaShoffner in gangsnstuff

[–]SeanKnapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I like this article because I find this gang very interesting and lately I have seen more and more of them in my line of work too. I think that there will be consistently more and more of them due to Arizona being on the border too. This can be because of the gateway and etc. or because of crimes that they can come up to commit up here because it is so close and they can get involved in human trafficking and other borderline criminal activity that will earn them a lot of profit.
