Now you see, all you Rudy supporters, here is a job for Rudy that I can stand behind.

Help get Rudy elected Mayor of LA and I promise you some results in getting rid of the blatant dirtbag problem in your city....

As POTUS? Never. as Mayor...most definitely.....

These tatoos are a typical filipino gang technique. Philippine prisoners cature and decorate fellow prisoners who end up lookin' like festooned cartooned outcasts above. There after the gang members only pals are look a likes.

With all respect to the Eastern Europeans no. They simply run the guns in.

I don't see the Democrat Party listed?

----------------------------------

The California Democrat Party didn't make the top 11. They were 17th on the list.....

Good thing John Murtha doesn't live in Los Angeles or the LAPD would have had to retreat to Bakersfield by now.

There is nothing that will work except make the penalty for joining a gang so horrible that nobody would risk it.

Like having to stand around on a street corner with the same bunch of losers every day with no chance of making a profit...because the piles of white powder you used to move for thousands of dollars can now be had for free at a Federal clinic?

There are no forms of punishment that will work short of deputizing all registered gun owners, permitting them to shoot on sight, and paying a bounty of $500 per dead gang member - much like what would have happened in the Old West. Since that is unlikely to occur, the next best option is to eliminate the major profit motive that atrracts people to gang membership.

No Bloods in the top 11?

I bet they feel left out, especially with the Crips making the list.

The obvious solution is an old one. Identified gangsters should be arrested on racketeering charges, and instead of being sent to prison, send them to rural work camps. Camps reserved for only gang members.

One thing I might add would be to put these camps on Indian Reservations, managed by the tribes, with the mission to improve ecological quality of life on that Reservation.

It could be part of a labor intensive process. Have them start by digging irrigation canals that would later be improved with concrete by tribal construction teams, then have them prepare farmland by clearing it of all rocks to a depth of three feet and leveling the land. Use the rocks to build fences.

From there they could move to forestry, creating and managing forests. And not just pine, but higher value hardwoods that in many years will make fine furniture.

There is enough work for every gangster in the entire State to keep them productively employed for decades.

Getting the ball rolling is simple enough, using a combination of criteria. Admission of being a gang member, along with unique gang paraphernalia and markings. Association with known gang members. Continued association after the gang is identified as a racketeering organization. Conspiracy. Etc. All determined by a judge.

When enough of these standards are met, the racketeering law is invoked, and they get to spend a long time helping society--not just living off of society's nickel. No idleness for these lads.

And administered by Indian tribes means that disciplinary rules are under Indian law, not State law; which I suppose could be more flexible in stimulating such gangsters to work.

It's all very funny...until you're in the middle of it.


I once managed a textile printing plant in the area of #2 on the map. Scary neighborhood.

One time we sent a contractor up to give us a bid on reroofing the plant. He came down with seven different KINDS of bullets.

Just a little celebration thingy, you know....



Another time a guy "in the industry" was deivering patterns to printers in the area and was literally caught in a cross fire incident, with one gang member walking out of a corner bodega and flashing some hand signal and the guys in the car behind him "taking cover" behind the trunk of his car to shoot at the first guy.

Let's just say he was REAL glad when the light changed and he was no longer trapped in traffic.

Lucky for him, BOTH sides of the exchange were lousy shots.

No telling how many innocent bystanders caught shrapnel.


...then I moved to Montana.
