pheaton is right. sux news I think is trying to not scare the millard schools folks

(or they just being PC wimps like the omaha world herald is at times)



some like to portray north omaha as they only area that has thugs and gang members,

but we gotta know criminals are equal opportunity offenders.

Not really, not in the sense of crime gangs. True gangs (what this likely was not) are organized with the intent to do crime over the long term. While I don't like channel 6, they got the terminology correct on this.

I suppose gang could have a couple of different definitions, but one of them is definitely as follows (as quoted from Merriam Websters dictionary):

Quote:
(2) : a group of persons working to unlawful or antisocial ends; especially : a band of antisocial adolescents
