And how many of these gang bangers are fatherless or fall into other groups with “sociological problems”?
I think sometimes that our modern, progressive, liberal society doesn’t know how to deal with problems such as gang violence.
I hate rogue gangs. Give me approved gangs any day.
I had the same thought. I know Oregon is a liberal state--have the police been forbidden to approach/apprehend/arrest illegals? Have they caught any of the drive-by shooters?
With the current crop of presidential candidates, the best solution would be to learn Spanish and join the biggest Mexican gang.

Illegal aliens create a great deal of the violent crime in the U.S. When arrested they give false identities and it is impossible to track them. And all these politicians are falling all over themselves trying to give them huge subsidies from taxpayer dollars. And politicians set up sanctuary cities and complicated proceedures to protect illegals.
Put the Second Amendmant back in the Constitution —UNCOINDITIONALLY
I use to live close to Portland Oregon a long time ago. During the summer, they have the Rose Parade. Use to be there was an organization called The Baseball Team. They would walk the parks during the Rose Parade, around the carnival rides, and take down any gang members with baseball bats. Then the do gooders came in and ran the Baseball Team out......now this is what you get. Cops are afraid to do anything because they may get taken to court. It’s gotten to the point that the general public has to take these gangs down. Look at Los Angeles, 70,000+ gang members up against the LA Cops. They need to bring in the Guard now and wipe the ghettos clean.
The schools in my area have two gangs, more or less. One is made up of illegals and children of illegals and the other is made up of indigenous Hispanic kids. Things seem to be better now, but for a number of years the two sides had a big clash and gang fight once or twice a year, shutting down some of the schools for a day and sending some kids to the hospital.
Medford police will soon start a program called Tech Smarts, it’s an Internet safety program that will be presented to students at local schools. It is hoping to educate students from the elementary through high school levels about the dangers associated with involvement in gang activity.

Look up White Fence Gangs in Los Angeles. Lot of history there. A lot of stuff you probably won’t want to hear.
“a program called Tech Smarts”
Yeah! Sure! That’s gonna work. The Guardian Angels are here in Akron today to start up a new chapter.
In regards to the gangs: arm any decent and non-felon citizen with a .357, proper training, and a CHL. Voila! Problem solved.
“What should be done about it?”
Kill them. Organize armed neighborhood watches, and gun them down on sight. Shoot any survivors again. No surrender.
LIBERALISM is killing America.
I live in Grants Pass and I haven’t really heard of any gang problems here. Motorcycle gangs, though...we got tons of them!
Now Medford is another story, lots and lots of Hispanic gangs there...
