These inner-city hellholes are a direct result of leftist rule, and children and innocents are dying because of it. The federal government must start treating gang violence as Domestic Terrorism in order to save our children
In East Orange, initiations were completed by murdering someone, for no other reason than to prove to a tremendously cold, tremendously tight brotherhood that you possessed the hardness required to watch their backs. Jeff Hobbs
Following a most recent heinous crime in Chicago where four, black 18-year old thugs, two male, two female, kidnapped, tortured and abused a terrified young white man with special needs, the Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said Kids make stupid mistakes. These four thugs ran the live video feed of the beatings and torture on Facebook.
Bottom line: a society unable or unwilling to execute justice will be victims of evil doers.
Bad picture. Those aren’t hollow points.
It took the FBI and Federal RICO laws to put a lid on the Mafia. It’s plain in many cities, the local police and courts have failed at reigning these gangs in.
Chicago needs a modern day Elliot Ness.
In a perverse way, gangs have become the new militia. More fragmented, less community oriented, but still, they are cohesive groups with weapons. Any real local militia in the traditional sense of organized responsible producers has been ruthlessly suppressed by the government. Besides, most producers are too busy working to pay for the non-producers.
It’s a weird civic power vacuum.
If I were God, I’d think it was just about time for another flood.
With a large budget for automatic weapons and protection from the SJW lawyers and political accomplices.
Be very careful of how you want the government to define “Gang.”
Yeah, they’re harmless, aren’t they?
I don’t have pockets enough for all that.
Re: the headline.
I’ve been saying gangs are domestic terrorists since the drug wars of the 1980s, when drive-by shootings by the Bloods and Crips were commonplace on city streets.
What other purpose is served by such behavior, if not to terrorize everyone? Thousands of innocent bystanders were gunned down.
By definition, terrorism disrupts normal social activity and commerce by instilling fear in the general population, such that law abiding people are afraid to be on the streets.
Obama is in favor of it, both here and abroad. He is an enemy, both foreign and domestic.
“Gangs Are Domestic Terrorists and should be treated as such with military sweeps through gang turfs, capture and forwarding to Gitmo to be treated as enemy combatants.”
How are you going to tell who and who is not a gang member?
With what crime will you charge the people you pick up in these sweeps?
We already know their names. We spend an enormous amount of effort and time validating members. And, like any organization, they write their member names down. I find Gang bibles, often, for instance. The names are in them. It’s how they know who owes dues.
“With what crime will you charge...”
2010 Georgia Code
TITLE 16 - CRIMES AND OFFENSES
CHAPTER 15 - STREET GANG TERRORISM AND PREVENTION
§ 16-15-4 - Participation in criminal gang activity prohibited...
The person needs to be directly involved in a crime.
If they are dealing drugs for the gang, and that link can be made, those charges will stand.
However, if a kid wearing Crips colors is walking down the street, minding his own business, with no drugs or weapons in him, and not a suspect in a crime, he is not going to be convinced of belonging to a street gang.
Yep. But we don’t bother law abiding people. However, once we validate (a serious process), that “kid” (or 35 year old) can be charged.
You asked how to know and with what charge...
I am the how. I supplied the charge. Now you know.
