Crap like these gangs still exist, though I think it's to a lesser extent then it used to be. My wife I and I live in the Lloyd center, and we see people like these pretty extensively late at night. People need to know this, and work to rid the community of gang influence...I have seen more people wearing gang related items then I did in Denver, which is larger and "infested" with crips and bloods.
Oh BLAZER, I think it's stoned not burned...it might be a fire hazard and rage into the forest.

I see this kind of language is part of the problem, if you want my opinion. You come off as very aggressive and angry. That's not warranted. One poster used the term. The thread wasn't locked. And yet, here you are (in a few posts in this thread) ranting against the board, the moderators, etc.
What I can see offensive about your post, and why I think it does smack of trolling is you've confused two issues. Nobody likes gangs. Nobody wants gangs. And sure, it's a serious problem all over. But yet what you're asking is if people are upset or what they think about increased Hispanic population. Those two things are not the same, but it sounds like you're making them the same. That just sounds like you're trying to foment some resentment towards all Hispanics.

wow I had no real idea!
That is some article! And look at one of the comments that came from a resident;
"awjapeach on 01/10/09 at 6:35PM
Well surprise, surprise. And just HOW long did it take them to FINALLY admit Portland has a gang problem? Portland leaders really need to WAKE UP. They put on a big city face to the outside world, but in reality, the mentality is that of some little backwater hicktown. The citizens told them and told them and told them for years that there was a problem, but they did their best to pretend there wasn't, and now look what it's gotten them."
These seem to be black gangs though based on this story. But again I hear about hispanic AND asian gangs...seems serious!

Since you couldn't tell, I was being sarcastic, ArthurChooChoo.  |

And for Hispanic gangs, don't leave out Beaverton, Aloha, and Hillsboro on the West side.

If you read the article, it's about Bloods and Crips, not Hispanic gangs.
