Plus there's shootings, killings, stabbings, etc. Gang activity is very much alive here. Unless of course you live in a wealthy area.
NOW I AM SORRY BUT I WAS A MEMBER OF THE CRIPS FOR MANY YEARS AND IT IS NOT TRUE THAT LIVING IN A WEALTHY NEIGHBORHOOD HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE GANG ACTIVITY. I CURRENTLY LIVE IN A VERY NICE COMMUNITY IN WEST PALM BEACH AND I SEE JUST AS MANY OF THE KIDS REPRESENTING GANGS HERE AS THEY DID IN MY OLD HOOD. SO I TAKE IT THAT YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

Wow... 100 gangs in Palm Beach County.....

I wonder how many in Orlando (Orange County). I am thinking at least 30 - 50 gangs. I know MS-13 is one of them... now here is the kicker: MS-13 is primarily made up of illegal aliens from Mexico and El Salvador!! When they bust these gangs up, they usually are here illegaly or with a Green Card (and gang violence is a removable offense, even for someone with a Green Card).

Now because we dumbidots of America do NOT wnat local cops asking Immigration status questions or calling ICE, these guys usually get 'probation' and then go back out on the streets. And to add insult to injury: if the amnesty bill that has been 'revived' in the corrupt US Senate passes, these gangbangers will get the amnesty Z visa!!

It is enough to drive you crazy!!

This is the politically correct America that seems to be the norm. Empty your country of all gang members and send them north where they can walk into the United States with nary a problem. This country is on the verge of destruction but all we seem to care about is who will win American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, and Tony Soprano. God help us if we don't secure the borders quickly. Sorry to get political on everyone but doesn't anyone else have these concerns or see what is happening right before our very eyes????????

This is true to a point. The gangs in the wealthy areas tend to be wannabes named "Bradley" who when confronted back down. That being said they are still dangerous in packs but I would gladly take those type in comparison to the hardcore names on the list.

I was never a member of gang technically we were just a large group of friends who got labeled that way but do have some experience on the issue.
