Right on, Mom! You notice the article keeps mentioning "funds" and how the lack thereof is the cause of the problem.
Random thoughts:
1. Broken families - were these thugs raised with a mother and a father, both of whom were responsible and sober human beings?
I thought not.
2. Drugs - libertarians are wrong. Drugs ruin individuals, neighborhoods, communities. The lure of easy money means these thug/kids will have zero incentive to learn, study, and try to work a normal job. Plus drug addicts lose their humanity.
3. Justice system doesn't work. Public shame and public pain MUST be brought back. Cheap - effective - instant "karma". Guilty verdict? Next day a public whipping or beating. Not to death, just to cause a great deal of pain. The local DA here agreed with me off the record.
4. Schools are rotten. They either need to change radically or disband. Bring back apprenticeship, standards, discipline, truth.
As an addendum, the continuing destruction of the natural family by the "gay" activists will only hasten the day where thugdom and bastardy are the norm.
We're taking in the cultural problems of other countries.

The only reason drug dealers exist is because of drug laws. Making a good illegal creates a black market for that good, which artificially inflates the price and turns control over to bad people with no regulation. It is basic economics.
These violent gangs revolve around selling drugs. If you take away their source of income they will crumble.
I certainly don't advocate drugs, and most individuals will be hurt by using them. That choice should be left up to the individual.
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...
