"LOL, I'm not sure where you're employing those tactics, but if it's in the Los Angeles area, I'd suggest you think twice about what you're doing."

Those tactics would work well on a lot of the shady characters we have around where I live in small towns and medium-sized cities. They can be dangerous for sure, but they're not hardcore like the big city gangs and can be controlled by armed citizens and local police who focus their attention on the poverty-ridden areas they operate in.

Thanks for making that chart easier to read.

A lot of the numbers at the link are from 2000 (census), some from 2004

Now it is 2006 and the Liberals are in charge so I am sure the situation has improved immensely.

The streets are safe, amazing it only took them 2 days!

And the cops are too nasty in Torrance.

I've heard of a city in New Mexico that used similar tactics successfully against gangs. If it works, why not do it elsewhere?

I have the PERFECT solution to all the valleys problems. Take away guns from all law abiding citizens. That will fix it.

Not one word that the gangs are illegal aliens or the children of illegal aliens.

Has the Valley deteriorated that badly?

What are the bad and good parts of the Valley?""

1---Yes it has.

2---The good parts are getting smaller and smaller as I type this.

I lived there from 1966 to 1993. I won't even go back into my old neighborhood when I am forced to go there for whatever reason. The reasons have to get better and better, also.

Time to resurrect the militia.

If cops can't be manufactured, then let's re-assign cops from other areas of law enforcement and beef up the robbery units.

Sorry...preventing robberies isn't a profit center. The crime doesn't pay, you might say.

Unfortunately, in California, if you carry a gun in the cabin of your car, the ammo must be in the trunk, or the other way around. Not very useful in an emergency.

Of course law enforcement officers and criminals are exempted from this rule.

Don't know if it's still the case, but Simi has traditionally had a high population of law enforcement folk living there, which helps. They tend to be extra vigilant, and they recognize signs of problems before most others do.

Yeah, thats the ticket. A cop punching a violent thug in the face is so manifestly horrible that we should go with the pitchforks and torches.

Whoops! Sorry, I was thinking of a different thread. :-/

For this thread: We are the "militia"!

California is now exporting prisoners to other states.

It is cheaper than hiring more union run prisons.

Thanks for the response. I should mention that some of the worst gangs in LA are moving out nationwide. Take care.

If you're planning on keeping up that kind of in-your-face surveillance, I'd HIGHLY recommend you do it using the right vehicle.

Something like this:

Cobra Security Vehicle from IBIS Tek.

Hmmm, should I laugh or congratulate you on the right call?

Well, some neighborhoods ya know...

Course gangs these days could probably get RPGs.

MS13 being one of the worst and most widespread.

But the same is true nationwide.

When this column first highlighted MS13 a year ago, many were skeptical of the police estimates of 3,000 active gang members in the northern Virginia suburbs. Now, a half-dozen murders, scores of cuttings and unreported beatings later, it is believed that there are 6,000 members in the region just south of D.C.

100% gain in one year out there by DC.

Isn't that something. Some of this stuff generates considerable concern on my part. Thanks for the follow-up.

Mine too.

Seeing what our Grandkids will be facing after we are long gone is a bit unnerving.

Based on the cell phone video, no defense is allowed against criminal gang members.

The only solution to the California urban problems is massive earth Quake with massive destruction amd death.

Perhaps a renewal can blossom on the rubble.
