In my experience... A community usually won't know it has a gang problem until it's too late to do anything preventive. Gang problems IMO are usually first found in schools. Then Law Enforcement, then maybe politicians will give it some lip service.
Gangs are usually cut along racial, and cultural lines. Politicians IMO tend to be slow to criticize, or complain along racial, and curltural lines for fear of offending a voting block. The police are answerable to politics, and are often ham-strung until violence is out of control. Then blamed for their lack of control.
As the individual citizen, many of us dont have the wherewithall, or the option to pick up and leave. IMO The only real option is to prepare to protect ourselves, and our neighbors. It seems that the American people have become a government dependant bunch of cowards who run like church mice when we hear something frightining.
Liberals say that violence only begets violence. I say that only violence can cure violence. If your local bangers choose to impede on your life with the threat of violence, I say answer in kind. He he has a knife... get a gun. If he gets a gun... answer with a rifle. Eventually they will either be eliminated, or they will figure that your as much the predator as they are, and move on to a weaker set of victims.
Only when the decent law abiding citizens forget their differences and stand together against this virus will anything change. Only when parents realize their children may be part of the problem can things begin to change.
And then I woke up...lol
Seriously... IMO if anyone imagines they will be taking these fancy shots, and controlling armed hordes they better gun-up... get some serious training, do some serious practice, get in with like minded people and organize.
After thats the biggest difference between any group of us and a gang... they are organized.
