I've said for a number of years on FR, that, for starters, we need to actually declare GANG MEMBERS as domestic terrorists, officially, through laws, and if possible suspension of Constitutional Rights for them, and consider them dangerous fifth columnists, placed in enemy combatant status, and completely disarm all gangs (150,000 members alone in LA) in a massive, long term, national military sweep. Illegal aliens should also NOW all be deported!! Screw the ACLU, MALDEF, John Edwards and Jesse Jackson. The great majority of the American People will not anymore stand for it. There is no more tolerance of vast sums of criminals like this in our major cities no different than terrorists. It is untenable that we can allow such to live or exist in our country on the streets. Ghettos are NOT just 'their' problem. It, and their criminal elements, are A NATIONAL SECURITY INTERNAL VULNERABILITY.

If, after this New Orleans fiasco, gangs are able to continue to exist in huge numbers in SF, Chicago, Detroit, NYC, Washington, Baltimore, Atlanta, Boston, Memphis, you name it, then we are a nation are truly screwed...for the integrity of our cities CAN NOT BE GUARANTEED in the event of a major pandemic, or weapons of mass destruction attack such as a suitcase nuke.

Sounds like a reasonable idea.

Your comments are some of the best I've seen.

This is a huge wakeup call. The thug underclass/gang element will destroy this country if not put down and disarmed.

Thing is, not only are the obvious criminal types terrorists, so are the anti-American media, democrats, ACLU, EPA, ad nauseum. They all fight desperately against and hate a good President because they are evil. It all boils down to the fact that evil people hate good people and seek to destroy them. We need a major clean-up. A downright sea change. If you're not for America, then shut up or go somewhere else or we'll kick you out. Pres. Bush is the man. The absolutely best President in the history of the USA, IMHO.
