What the fvck does that have to do with anything?

The game glorifies urban cal gang violence and people love playing it which is related to this topic because its about urban cal gang violence and people are having such a strong reaction to it.

Interesting statement, although I don't completely agree. Gangs usually don't have a greater objective, like the downfall of a government or the release of political prisoners. In that sense, gangs are a step below terrorists because their violence is often meaningless

..they attempt to controll territory and traffic drugs. And in some cases the revenues from drug sales fund larger terrorist activity. Or fund encroachment/takeover of rival gang territory. Dealing with gangs as a "law enforcement" problem has largely failed. They're not afraid of jail or prison and it's not seen as a deterent. Talk to anybody in law enforcement "gang task force". The problem has grown and is generational and taking on a "para-military" character. They are terrorists.

If they "control territory", then they do not accept the authority of the US government while still operating within US borders. It may be a bit hazy, but I would still consider them to be terrorists after a fashion.

If prison is not a deterrent, what would be?

These people aren't scared of either prison or death. But chopping off their eggrolls might be a good deterrent.

husband was former gang member.

those who live in so. cal. probably know what these types look like. The pregnant wife looks like one of those female thugs. 20 yrs old, pregnant, most likely no college education. Husband is probably the same @ 25.

He was a former gangmember changing his life around. She didn't look like a thug to me. They never said if it was a random shooting, or if this was a vengeance killing though. And who cares if she/they didn't have a college education? I don't have a college education :roll:.

"Deterrent" is a politician's word. It has nothing to do with crime and law enforcement. The purpose of having prisons is not to prevent crime, but to enforce civilization and the rule of law.

You can ignore him. He's just trolling.

I know what he's doing...but I won't ignore him.

He's one of the gang members, I bet. :eek: :p

Still bullsheit, no matter what. My heart goes out to the family. :(

I was thinking the same thing.

Heck, watching the LA riots on TV had me wanting to do that. There was a 69 caddy in the driveway just begging to be A-Team'd...

You know the old say, "Do unto others." Even though I would love to, but, I wouldn't. We'd be no better than they are.

My friend's sister married to a gang member. They still live in some cheap apt, living some harsh life. I don't call that turning your life around.
Parents seriously opposed the marriage, she said "phok it," moved out, and didn't contact the family ever again.

there's more to this story that we don't know. I'm not saying they deserved it. What happened to them sucked, and yes I agree that those gangmembers should be tortured.


I know i'm generalizing, but that pic DOES look like a girl who's into that whole gang, or wannabe gang sh!t.
