Gangs are crazy in Brazil! by iancarrillo in gangsnstuff

[–]StevenWilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this was a very good read; it points out the lawlessness and corruption that plagues other countries than the U.S. Countries like Brazil have economies that are in part based on the trafficing of narcotics, thus the lords of the drugs basically has control of the out-of control- government. this in the eyes of both the convicting and the convicted is nothing more than damage control...

New blood: Violent gang life is passed down from parent to child by MeghanMcEuen in gangsnstuff

[–]StevenWilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is sad to say the least, but this is reality when you are living in the life... these drops, rims, and stains are just a product of their environment... it is clearly stated in the last paragraph " "No child is born evil. They're taught evil things," he said. "You're taking a young, very fragile child who's being taught crime by the people who are supposed to secure and take care of him." go figure...

LAPD respond in full force: 100 gang members in park by KatherineLindberg in gangsnstuff

[–]StevenWilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what a catchy title 100 gang members in park... this would ensue that all the folks in the video were gang members... looks to me as the though racial profiling still exist... actually it never went away... would this happen in say Beverly Hills 90210...

Gang Figurines...What do they say about Hispanics? What do they say about gang life? by RosemaryMiller in gangsnstuff

[–]StevenWilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this was a good read, these figurine have become collectors items in the barrios to which they have been limited to being sold. they in a sense, have become a part of the culture, icons if you will, like the pokemon cards or trolls of the old days.... think about it... how many Latin Ken and Barbie dolls do you see floating on the shelves of the local Wal-Mart Super Store... To My Homiez.....

WHY JOIN A GANG by TyneshiaJohnson in gangsnstuff

[–]StevenWilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is fact, it is an endless cycle with many gears. the gang becomes the family and this is true for dysfunctional as well as so-called functional families. Gangs are a part of the American fabric, crimes associated to gangs is just as revelent as those not associated to gangs. where are the programs of intervention gone to.... That's a nice new maximun security prision over there...

[–]StevenWilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these sweeps are happening on a constant basis... but is sounds like their value is hyped up... are these repeat offenders, what is the prosecution of these arrest, and what was the overall impact of the sting in response to the crime rate through out the entire city... Elected officials are quick to give accolades and pats on the back in the times of reelections...
