This needs the old west treatment. Declare all members outlaws who may be killed on sight. No rewards, but no punishment.

I like the quote from on of the "Naked Gun" movies. In the background of the police station you can hear a cop on the phone saying "No sir, in this state killing a gang member is only a $10 fine. You can mail it in."

agreed: that is the only technique with a high probability of rapid success.

I'm all for fighting the WoT, and all that. But these gangs are terrorists too, and we need to fight them with all the vigor that we fight Al-Qaeda with.

"This needs the old west treatment. Declare all members outlaws who may be killed on sight. No rewards, but no punishment."

The politicians and bureaucrats don't have the cojones to handle this. The cops don't want citizens taking the law into their own hands. I'll almost guarantee you that if it gets bad enough people will step up to the plate and these scum will start disappearing. It won't start in the large cities but in the smaller towns and rural areas first. People are scared of these punks because they are incredibly violent. They are violent because for the most part they are low IQ trash and no one has stood up to them yet.
