We need to run the Cap Weinberger book threads again where in his book he mentions the disolution of Mexico as a national security threat.

Wait a minute.

I thought Midnight Basketball was supposed to solve this problem!

"throwin money "........Illinois has the "vanity" license plate with the dove on purple background (last I was there) where the cost of said plate went to fighting the gang problem.

Or overhaul the WOD to recognize that open borders isn't any kind of WOD when we know how most of the drugs are coming in. Or change it so that domestic sources aren't being prosecuted but the foreign sources of drugs are allowed to do whatever they please.

Instead of knocking down doors of American citizens, I think they'd accomplish more if they would stop what's coming over the border.

...Midnight Basketball...

Almost forgot about the *Crinton/Altoast solution. That Aldork phone tax is still kickin' - no?

...the regular people can live in the non-gang cities...

They still allow law abiding citizens to own guns out there on the left coast?

I seem to remember Clinton putting midnight basketball courts in poor neighborhoods to keep kids out of gangs and off the streets. Could this be an indication that they failed? LOL

Broken families

The term Broken Family infers that their was a working family that somehow "Broke".

I don't buy this for a second. These cretins spawn from street hookers and crack adicts, or they come across the border to join the gangs.

Am I sad they are killing each other?...NO

This kind of crap doesn't happen in my neighborhood because we won't tolerate it. Screw 'em...

I guess we need to buy-off the gangs now. How about the WOGs!

The gangs will have to get in line behind the blacks, and the Native Americans. Unless, of course, the Mexicans are demanding reparations because we "stole" part of their country from them; at which point they will have to go to the back of the line. </ sarcasm>

If the WOG's is anything like the WOD's, it's a total failure from day one.

Broken families in the sense that much of the time mommy and daddy aren't and weren't married and maybe don't even know each other's last names, or haven't seen each other in years. Add to that a series of "boy friends", half brothers and sisters, and voila! No one belongs to anyone, no one is responsible for anyone, so no kids learn responsibility. There's more love and discipline in between a mother cat and her kittens than in some of these spawn and their "parents".
