Thanks for the ping HiJinx.
My Samoan side of the family has lost 4 boys to gangs. The last one was lost about 5 years ago. It's a very sad tale of what happens to young folks that have no guidance.
Add into the mix illegals and we're beyond a disaster.
Hollywood glorifies gangsters of old, but they fail to see what it has done to many families. I have no respect for any of these gangs whether they be Italian, Asian, Polynesian, Latino, Russian, or Black. They all suck!
Continued prayers for our country. We need it more than ever.
Oh, MoJo, you know it, I know it, so many of our FReeper friends know it...
When is the human toll going to make a difference in the hallowed halls of Washington?

Amen.
