I am no expert, but these gangs have "codes" and all sorts of messages, so I wouldn't be surprised. There is another article up today about how very young kids, 10 years old are recruited.

"The beauty part is the "Supremes" decision about the death penalty for teenagers."
It wouldn't have helped if the gang banger was Mexican, since we honor their laws of NO DEATH PENALTY.
FYI
Illegals who are willing to vote Democrat immediately are welcomed. ;)
A hard working Canadian girl with a Bachelor's degree can come to America legally can't she? Perhaps not to work in the armed forces, don't know those rules.
But you are so correct, there is something wrong with an immigration policy that allows illegal entry of every lowlife when their own country doesn't want them due to crime. Sickening.
Thanks for this and other pings related to the illegal immigration disaster.

I believe Sheriff Riggins.
The Politically Correct Brownshirters -- the ACLU and their proxies -- the Courts and both U.S. Houses by virtue of "Hate Crime" legislation -- has crippled U.S. Law Enforcement.
And I wonder how the DoJ would react to KKK, Skinheads, and White Supremicists overrunning cities and towns across the country spreading drugs, murder, and mayhem throughout America?
Again -- Homeland Security, the DoJ, AND the Bush Administration is negligent in protecting it's OWN citizenry.
The irony is not lost when one looks at the committment, conviction, resources, and energy spent for Afghan and Iraqi "security."
Sounds like you wouldn't cause any problems for the taxpayers. Get yourself a police record and sneak over the border.
I remember your posting a few weeks ago, evidently you've had no luck. Yes, there is something very wrong with our immigration policy. Two of the gang bangers mentioned in the above article were from well know Mexican crime families, but they got green cards. I am left with the observation that green cards are given out willy nilly to those from south of the border. I'm so sorry you are not part of this country!
How do you know they don't? There is a huge special coming up on FNC about how LE is attacking this problem.
Because local law enforcement says Homeland security won't help,(in the articles) they are only interested in "terrorists". Call a few of them, they'll tell you.
Well then, what are the people who are so worried about this going to do about it? How about writing some letters to the editor, calling your local police department, writing letters to Congress, etc. Let's not just complain about stuff...get active.
And just as an aside, I would take a few people who are quoted anonymously seriously. I'd be completely shocked if Homeland Security wasn't aware of this problem and finding ways to address it.
I heard that Fox News is having a special program on gangs. It's supposed to be hosted by Newt Gingrich. Can anyone confirm? I didn't find it listed on their web site.
Seems like it will be as effective as "Just say NO" You would have to remove them from the home environment to do any good at all
"Well then, what are the people who are so worried about this going to do about it? How about writing some letters to the editor, calling your local police department, writing letters to Congress, etc. Let's not just complain about stuff...get active."
That's what were doing here. This is not a social club for me.
"We can fix the border, together."
I agree. But that "together" means some input from the feds, not just the BLM or forest service, which is all the help offered so far.
Where is the line between a criminal gang that crosses international borders, then proceeds to rape, mutilate, kill and rob citizens, and terrorists? ANY widespread criminal activity that serves to intimidate and threaten law-abiding citizens is by its very definition terrorist.
A gang made up of members who have fled their own country, and has reconstituted its objective in another country, is every bit as much a terrorist organization as young men that left Saudi Arabia for Iraq and Afghanistan, and subsequently went into a third country with great mischief in mind.
Homeland Security should be making this sort of activity a much higher priority than has been done up to now. Local police can do the necessary groundwork in locating and capturing these outlaws, but then once captured, the necessary support to ensure these gangsters are NEVER again a threat to the locality should be provided.
