As far as I am concerned they should send a brigade of Marines into these neighborhoods and arrest every suspected gang banger on sight. Those on parole or out on bond are revoked. Those who can prove they are good little boys and behave and work or go to school are turned loose. Those that are incorrigible go to a special gang banger boot camp on Paris Island run by marines. That would be a start.
National Guard instead of Marines but otherwise ok w/me.
