As I understand it, in at least some gangs the criminality is not organized and run by the gangs as such, but by individuals and groups within the gangs. The “all for one” mentality of the gang provides protection for the criminals from members not specifically involved in the crimes.

Of course, the other members know of the criminality and don’t care.

You are absolutely right that some join the gangs or hang with them because they like scaring civilians. They they claim to be unfairly persecuted and sterotyped.

That’s just stupid. They hang out with these guys because they enjoy the stereotype and scaring others. Until it bites them.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t the “heavily armed street gangs” largely fictitious? About all you ever read about is killings with 9s and 40s.

A remarkably small number of people are killed each year with rifles, much less by rifles in the hands of heavily armed street gangs.

Ridiculous comment.


IF Federal, State or Local givernment can TAX something you own.. or don’t own.. i.e. property
YOU are paying RENT to them....

If you’re paying rent you do not own “it” they do..

Socialists are GANGS.. a mafia or a Cabal, Junta, even a Conspiracy...

Goes right over the head of ALL democrats and most republicans..
ALL three givernments “MILK” the people like farm animals..
Any that do not know that are delusional..
Animal Farm is too real.. some refuse to face it..

Not really, they are all a team, a group, a gang, it isn't that they all do the same thing and in equal amounts, but they are all parts of the gang.

Every government since the beginning of time, including that of our Founders and the state governments so beloved of paleos, taxed. By necessity.

Did the state governments of the 1780s own the property of the citizens?

That is absolute, total, ridiculous, proving that you do not know what you are talking about nonsense.

Try to "join" one of those criminal gangs, that isn't the way it works.

Those are criminal enterprises, they are looking for criminals, they vet you, and you become a prospect.

“But like clockwork the MSM picks up on the CNN/Perez story and they’re off:

Las Vegas Review – Texas law enforcement officials are investigating what they say are new threats against officers from biker gangs in the wake of a recent shootout in Waco.

Members of the Bandidos biker gang who are in the military “are supplying the gang with grenades and C4 explosives,” according to a bulletin issued Thursday by the Texas Department of Public Safety and reviewed by CNN.

The bulletin warns of plots targeting high-ranking law enforcement officials and their families with car bombs. The bulletin is based on unsubstantiated information from an informant who claimed to have obtained it from Bandidos and Black Widows motorcycle gang members.

The Bandidos want to retaliate against police for shooting “their brothers” as they came out of the Twin Peaks restaurant, the bulletin says.”

We’re talking pennies here.. taxes were in pennies..
But most all people paid zero taxes.. Rent in pennies you might live with.. State-ists you had....... even back then..

But then we had a Constitution back then..
