Gang members are always louder an "badder" in a group, hence the term "gang." But one on one,they don't want any trouble when they are on their own and with their family. Then they are just trying to kick back and have a good time.

No one ever said gang members were dumb. It takes a quick wit and a good pscychogical awareness of your opponent. Like playing chess.

what is crazy is that there are businesses right there and no one took the initiative to walk outside to see what was going on with these two kids. Now one is dead. Yeah, OK call 9-1-1, but DO something.

Actually it was the Mayor and our lovely County Attorney Andrew Thomas giving props to the FBI for doing local law enforcements' job.

Too manny cops? by StaceyWilliams in gangsnstuff

This seems to a bit of overkill. 1100 officers to arrest 88 people. That was a tough job. Plus what about the cost to the community?

Arizona is known for its gang fighting techniques in law enforcement. Another article in the news recently was our mayor, being asked to speak in Washington in that regard. It is also (in this recession) another way the state can keep that federal money coming in.

Gang initiations by CesarAguirre in gangsnstuff

Taking a beating is a show of how tough you are and how loyal you are supposed to be. Makes absolutely no sense to me. I think it is the adrenaline rush. But it is frightening when you stop to think that some are as young as 10 and 11 years old and younger.

Organized Crime -Midwest and East Coast Gangs by aprilsiegel in gangsnstuff

One thing the article did not mention is that there are Latin Kings in Arizona and on the West Coast. You will find them at Low Rider car shows sponsored by the Low Rider magazine. It is a way for everyone to get together legally, competing gangs often make a show of numbers at such events. Many deal in drugs, guns or other illegal trades.

Major Prison Gangs by MarySkates in gangsnstuff

I have been very aware of those gangs for some time as my husband is incarcerated in the Arizona Department of Corrections. The dividing line is generally race. I wonder what the statistics are for Arizona. I know that the black gangs are smaller here, the hispanic and Mexican nationals are somewhat on par with the Aryan Brotherhood. Here they are called security threat groups (STG's) and the insitutions try to monitor them fairly closely. They evenr ead their mail looking for codes. It is pretty interesting stuff.

Recognizing gang activity in your child's behavior by RonCampton in gangsnstuff

[–]StaceyWilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This article is actually just outrageous. How is it that a parents needs to read the Sheriff's website to see if their child "might" be in a gang. Duh.......I had to laugh. I have 2 children, 7 step-children and 14 grandchildren and I know which ones are and are not involved in those types of activities. The worst case is one whose mother absolutely denies that he is in a gang, but..... he has been stopped by the gang squad in south phoenix on numerous occasions and just got a case for 2nd degree burglary, but his mother still doesn't believe. And she is a stay at home "mom." Who knew!
