seems like this has more to do with prison gangs and their influence outside moreso than Mexicans hating blacks and vice versa.

That's a pi**-poor excuse to be a criminal.

Why don't they go to the taxpayer funded schools provided for them?

It's been a ticket to success for millions of Americans of many cultures.

SoCal gang members indicted in racist shootings
Wow, I never heard of this before. Honestly, it sounds like hyperbole and the typical black-Latino gang violence over the drug trade which has been going on for 20 years but it is clearly racist.

No, many of the victims have not been involved with gangs or the drug trade. In fact, this wave of gang violence has a lot more to do with the traditional reason why gangs are formed in the first place "us versus them".

A lot of people, think that gang activity is mostly about money, not true. Yes, street gangs are often involved with the drug trade (both selling drugs and "taxing" independent dealers and smaller gangs) and other crimes like car theft, robbery, B & Es, and so on, but that is not how street gangs get started. They are either formed as a group of trouble makers banding together for fun or as a group of people who want to protect themselves from hostile cliques and gangs. Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) originally got its start as a group of teenage Salvadorian metal heads who banded together to discourage the bullying they suffered from the hands of Mexican gangbangers. Zoe Pound in Miami got its start to protect Haitian immigrants from American-born blacks. The Mexican Mafia was a group of Mexican-American teenagers in prisons for young offenders who gave up their outside gang membership and formed a new gang that was to prey of black and white inmates and protect each other from those racial groups as well. Skinhead gangs aren't usually involved in economic criminality, but they exist all the same. Despite popular belief, a lot of gang members do have jobs, they usually work in call centers, construction, or sales. There are too many gang members out there for all of them to be involved in profitable criminal activity with cities like Chicago or Los Angeles not to become a real-life version Barter Town. There is even a gang in Chicago called "Satan's Disciples" that encourages its members to pursue legitmate work, they call it "free enterprise".

There should be no doubt about what to do with any one associated with these gangs who is here illegally.

That's a good starting point. We don't need to argue on and on about how many of these violent thugs is here illegally, the only thing to do is find the ones that are and deport them and their families.

All gang members, regardless of race, should be forced to stand back to back, take ten paces, turn around and shoot. Repeat this process until only one is left. Let him use the last bullet to off himself.
