I bet they were mostly Hispanics too

I would say thats about average for a city the size of Wichita, it could be worse, look at Birmingham or Little Rock or Jackson, these cities are half the size and have double the murder count.

according to the GCPD, there are 7-10 gangs in Garden, with many, many more sets in each gang. I would say that is alot for a city our size

Have you EVER been to the Eastside? Like around Towns Riverview and East Garden Village (Martin's)? I don't think you would want to go there
Then there's Buffalo Jones (which isn't really all that bad) and Burnside (very bad) on the Westside. If you don't think that those areas are bad, go down there at night by yourself.

Although I got to admit Dodge City has it way worse than us, I have no idea why though...

"I bet they were mostly Hispanics too"

Ok, First and foremost, I'm so glad that wasn't racist or anything.

And Garden City "gangs" are just punk ass High School and Middle School kids spraying graffettii and smashing mailboxes. They either grow up and graduate high school and move on, or they drop out and live with their parents until their 45.

Every town has it's violence. but As for gang violence. Nahh. Come to KC if you want Gangbangers.

Even Topeka has a few running amok.
