Gangs

[p8ntblr]

Plenty. But I grew up and went to school with some of them so I'm kind of used to it. Even had some friends who unfortunately joined some as we grew up and later found out some ended up in the pen. I ended up joining a paintball team instead

There is a gang of girls (5-8 years old) in my neighborhood that is traffiking in black market Power Puff Girls. I don't know much about them, because they keep their business on the down-low, but I understand their tactics are ruthless. I stay out of their way, because I don't want to become a statistic...

Unc, you just ain't right!

I've seen the Big Chief in the halls exactly once, surrounded by gofers and while class was in session. She was out of the building before the bell rang.

Why do people think if we ignore stuff, it will go away?

We attended a neighborhood watch meeting with a presentation by the head
of the gangs unit of the local PD. Apparently there are at least 40 different
gangs in our city with a growing presence by MS-13 and even Cripps/Bloods
which I thought was a West Coast thing. Kinda' scary to think about...

Maryland appears to be a very dangerous state from all the media info that is kicked out on a daily basis. The sad part is that the state does not allow citizens to even get a gun permit to protect yourself. Allowing licensed gun owners to carry guns will not lead to anything except lower crime level. As I've said to others, no one tries to rob a cop.

gangs...

I for one don't see anything good relating to gangs anywhere. In my opinion
I think that the gov't. should change the laws regarding gangs and criminals
fugitives in general. They should all be declared as outlaws, with a price on their heads and let law enforcement officials do what ever is necessary to put a stop to the trouble they cause for the rest of society! Wanted posters
should be posted at every public/ gov't. building with big rewards for their capture and aprehension, that might be a start to ending some of the unnecessary violence they cause. eezlock

The biggest around here is the Latin Kings. Not much trouble in San Marcos but bigger and more active in San Antonio and Austin.

My oldest knew several of them, including the local president when he got out of school. His first wife had a kid by the guy.

His first wife had a kid by the guy.

Let's pray the guy has no contact with the kid. A kid growing up in an environment like that doesn't have much of a chance.
