“This is not a black thing, it’s not a white thing, it’s not a Hispanic thing — it’s a gang thing. We have to look at it that way,” Hope said.”
Or else be called a racist, yet, it isn’t the white population gangbanging.
Hate to bust your bubble, but I’d guess that there are likely more Pagan’s (read white biker gang) gang members in that part of VA than the other gangs combined. Biker gangs tend to run a lot of dope and have a very hierarchical structure that serves to protect the members pretty well. They’re long established and know the system and how to work around it. Most of these gangbanger inner city thugs are dumb and get busted easily by confidential informants with wires, which is why you see more of their mugshots in the news.
