It is sad... I am one to judge, and even less, when it is a tragedy such as this; but somehow, somewhere, someone failed... as a parent...as a teacher/pastor, or priest/as a society....

Unfortunately it is our children that often pay for our failures in general.

I feel bad for the kids that had to see this traumatic event. I don't believe it's anybody's fault but the kids themselves.

For the kids that were involved, based on the testimonies I heard on TV from other students I don't think they were good kids. The media will try to portray the most romanticized version of the story. A similar case happened when I was in high school and the kid that got killed was a troublemaker. According to the Herald he was a saint. He had told me personally the gangs he belong to in Colombia and that he had been expelled from another school for carrying a knife(nice!). Some teachers try to help but I knew it was a futile effort because I had known a few troubled kids and most of them ended up six feet under.

I don't know exactly what the situation in Cuba is and if they have some kind of gang problem. I hope not.

LOL, in Cuba there is only one huge gang which does not let any other gangs proliferate. That's why the level of violance is so low even when the poverty level is so high.

Funny that most of the young Cubans that use this "hair style" are the sons of fairly recent arrivals who tend to be very "ghetto" ... the sons of the Cubans I went to college with in Miami in the late 80's would skin their kids alive if they went out and got those "hood rat " haircuts .[/quote]

In Havana sometimes I visit schools and kids are Ok. Also in Guantanamo. Kids are educated, well raised. I'm talking about a very poor province where most people are black.

They have uniforms, the little ones are uniformed and march to schools in a regimented manner.

Those kids you are talking probably come from very marginal areas.

No gangs in Cuba that I know of, they bag them before they commit any crime just because their look "precriminals".

Gangs are from Colombia and Central America, also Dominicans. The gangs in Miami started when all those people came.

Quite a pity that those low lifes go north, and you have so many nice kids there trying to study and get ahead.

Yes there are gangs in Cuba. Not gangs like we think of here, but gangs nevertheless.

Yes I was asking because someone told me that they were getting more dangerous, but I know how people like to blow things out of proportion. So far I'm not convinced they are that dangerous.

No way. The PNR (Policia Nacional Revolucionaria) would break their souls right away.

You might see a bunch of kids engaged in stone fights, or genuine fights, or trying to steal something in houses, etc, you might see kids dressed like Ecuatorian a.s.s.h.o.l.e.s (threy bring their stupid clothes from that country), but no GANGS.

I'm referring to South and Central American Gangs like Latin Kings or Ñetas or all that crap, that's more Indian stuff. You don't see that there.

All ASSOCIATIONS, no matter how informal, are forbidden. The only legal associations are the MASS ORGANIZATIONS, you know, UJOTACÉ, CDR, FMC, PCCU, etc.

[gymbuff]

Oh no no nothing like Latin Kings or anything like that. But, you do have kids defining turf, roughing up folks, etc. Plus, Cuba's youth grew up in a violent culture; its their way of life.
